JOE DENINZON & STRATOSPHEERIUS
From the upcoming live CD/DVD :
Joe adds:
While I look forward to all the super cool performances, recordings, and other projects awaiting me in the coming months, I write this with a heavy heart. My family is from Russia. My grandparents and their ancestors on my father's side were from Ukraine. We have many close friends from the Ukraine. Our hearts are breaking for the unprovoked invasion by the tyrant Putin and the unbelievable hardships the people of Ukraine are going through. We pray for peace and a swift end to this terrible war, for Putin to be removed from of power and punished for war crimes, and the Ukraine to be rebuilt and restored to the thriving democracy it deserves to be. We are also concerned that people in the United States and other countries do not blame Russian immigrants living among them for the invasion. People have to realize that we escaped this country decades ago because we distrusted its government and couldn’t see a future for our kids there. Most Russians I know, even the ones living in Russia who can’t speak openly about it, condemn this invasion and despise the man who started it.

Swiss Minimalistic Jazz Ensemble AKKU Quintet Release New “Live” Album
“Live” takes you on a 75-minute long musical journey and leads you into the cosmos of Swiss-based AKKU Quintet led by drummer and composer Manuel Pasquinelli (also known for his work with Sonar & David Torn). It contains five songs from different stages of the group's history, recorded at various locations between 2016 and 2020. You’ll hear the touch and character of each player, acting as a part of the ensemble to create this atmospheric, minimalistic yet livingly driving music.
Says Manuel, “Playing this music live is always an intense and beautiful experience. While not perfect, live versions often have a certain quality and spirit, which are hard to achieve in the studio. We want to share some live moments we captured on different occasions with this album, especially in this challenging time for live music. We didn’t do any editing. So you will hear truly handmade music. This album might be a good introduction to our work, and maybe one gets curious about the four studio albums we released before.”
“They take the Swiss zen maximalist/minimalist approach of Nik Bärtsch’s Ronin, Sonar, Schnellertollermeier to a different, but utterly logical conclusion. Fabulous stuff. Recommended!” - Steve Feigenbaum, Cuneiform Records
AKKU Quintet is based in Bern (Switzerland), from where they dispense a minimalistic jazz groove to great effect. Drummer Manuel Pasquinelli, who is also responsible for the compositions, founded the band in 2010. Their first concert took place in 2011. Since then, the band has released four studio albums and is playing live regularly. Their latest studio album, “Depart,” was the first one released with 7d Media. Manuel Pasquinelli is also known as the drummer of Sonar, who are collaborating with David Torn and Bill Laswell.

(2022, cd, ger, coviello classics) - 'the black page' (frank zappa)
I know, I know. I've mentioned this album a couple of times already...
Yesterday, while putting the info on the United Mutations Archives, I revisited the album again.
And although I'm repeating myself, I can only recommend you to check out this amazing release.
Not just because of the two beautiful lengthy and stretched versions of FZ's 'The Black Page" but also because of the other pieces.
Check it out !
For reference, here's the ensemble's Zappanale concert (recorded by the Zappanale Team):

DWEEZIL ZAPPA UPDATE
A recent message from Dweezil Zappa
(no link yet, so I guess it will only start next week on dweezilzappa.com)
Hello Everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I'm reaching out to let you know that I'm premiering a new weekly series on my website called Audio Docs.
AUDIO DOCUMENTARY SERIES
This series offers a weekly glance into the humble musical fabric of my career. With 6 Episodes finished already, I will be releasing them every Monday at 5pm PST.
In this very casual talk format I share stories about the origins of my songs, sounds, and techniques. I also reminisce about all things music including meeting and working with musicians who've inspired me.
Hosted By Shawn Ratches
Episode One: "My Mother Is A Space Cadet"
Find out how my very first recording session at 12 years old took place and what I learned in the process. How the hell did Edward Van Halen and Donn Landee end up producing it?
