| | David Trio Rees-Williams Thinking Allowed CD - Import David Trio Rees-Williams Discography of CDs
The David Rees-Williams Trio was formed in 1988 and features David Rees-Williams (piano), Neil Francis (bass guitar) and Phil Laslett (drums). Based in Canterbury, they have performed in an interesting variety of concerts and festivals over the years both in England and Spain, and now specialise in a programme that unites the best of classical and jazz. David's arrangement of Purcell's 'When I am laid in earth' from their CD 'Classically Minded' was first played on Radio 3 during the summer of 2001 on Sean Rafferty's programme In Tune. Rafferty described the response as 'extraordinary' and it resulted in the BBC being inundated with enquiries, they were subsequently invited to record a commercial disc on theBBC's new Late Junction label. 'Hidden Colours' was released during the second half of May 2002 and features arrangements of Purcell, Bach, Grieg, Fauré, Franck, Debussy and Ravel. It received excellent reviews in the Times and the Independent on Sunday and shortly after its release, was Editor's Choice in HMV Choice Magazine. It was then to become No. 2 of HMV's 10 best Classical discs of 2002. It was also rated best of its genre by the Financial Times in its end of year disc review on world music of 2002. In September 2004 their album 'Time Scape' was released. Featuring arrangements of works by Ravel, Bach, Chopin, Stanford, Purcell, Buxtehude, Elgar, Warlock and Bossi. It received 4-star reviews in The Sunday Times, The Independent On Sunday and Jazzwise Magazine. It was also featured as one of the top ten CDs of 2004 by Clive Davis in the Sunday Times 'Culture' magazine in December 2004. The Trio's latest CD "Thinking Allowed" was released in February 2007. David Rees-Williams (piano) began his musical career as a chorister at New College Oxford, where the rich variety of musical styles performed by choir and organ made strong and lasting impressions. From here he won the top music scholarship to Cranleigh School where he studied piano, oboe and organ. He graduated from the Royal College of Music in 1981 with a B. Mus. While still a student, he held posts as organist at two London churches. Apart from his concert work with the trio, and as a soloist on piano and organ, he teaches piano in Canterbury, both privately, and at The King's School, and Christ Church University College. Until 2002, Neil Francis (electric bass) enjoyed a dual career as teacher and freelance bass guitarist. He now devotes his time entirely to his playing. His performance work has embraced disciplines as diverse as improvised trio jazz, blues, rock, studio sessions, and, most recently, the classically inspired cross-over style featured by the David Rees-Williams Trio. Over the last three decades, Phil Laslett (drums) has built a solid reputation as a versatile player backing a variety of international artists in his own right, and also as part of the David Rees-Williams Trio. He has also led his own quartet specialising in modern jazz arrangements. Recent reviews of the Trio have complimented his playing for its subtlety and musicianship.

FINE AND MELLOW - CD RELEASE FOR JAZZ SINGER LIZZIE SCOTT & 80 YEAR OLD SAXOPHONIST LEGEND LEW HOOPER.When jazz drummer Dennis Smith discovered that Lew Hooper had never released a CD, despite playing the UK scene for over 60 years, he set about to remedy the situation. They decided that their favourite singer Lizzie Scott would compliment Lew's sax style perfectly. Two of London's finest jazz musicians; pianist John China and bassist Murray Salmon, joined them to record 13 classic jazz tracks at the famous Tin Pan Alley Studios on Denmark Street. This recording was captured in one session; the empathy between Lizzie & Lew was natural and immediate on the first take! The result is 'Fine and Mellow' - reminiscent of Billie Holiday & Lester Young, these fine musicians have brought alive the music of the great jazz era. 'Lizzie Scott has the kind of style jazz musicians love - direct and nicely phrased, with no showy tricks. Lizzie shares the limelight with Lew Hooper, unsung hero of British jazz. This whole CD was made in one session - by one good singer and four good musicians working together! exactly the right ingredients for a perfect session. ' - Dave Gelly, MBE, jazz critic of The ObserverLIZZIE'S BIOGRAPHYLizzie was born in Australia & was introduced to the music of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday & Louis Armstrong while watching her Father restore vintage cars in his back-yard garage. She's spent her entire life performing, beginning singing & dancing at age 3. She studied opera at Adelaide Conservatorium of Music & performing arts at The Drama Centre at Flinders University gaining a first class B.A. with Honours. In a move to Sydney, Lizzie was offered a role in Cameron Mackintosh's stage production ...

A Death in Summer has been described as an "intelligent, emotional rock band that is excitingly human". A highly anticipated debut offering. Be there from the beginning."Towards Tomorrow is an emotive, expressional journey. The songs are filled with wit and humor, tasteful autobiographical lyrics and notably memorable musical style rhythyms, wound together with bright acoustic guitar and warm electric tones. Don't miss this album!"-- Eric L. Spindler/RockUway//AltyouLouisville!.Write, contribute to an indie magazine in the Louisville/Indiana area? Contact us to feature A Death in Summer.

| | The Quiet Earth Orchestra CD (2008)
Thinking Allowed CD music
$12.69
A few quick facts about The Quiet Earth Orchestra: They are not an orchestra. They are not even a band. In fact, "they" are not even a "they"!they are a "he" known as John Ludi. And since this is actually John Ludi writing this, He/I will now switch to a first person perspective. I grew up with two main musical influences: Progressive/Art Rock and Punk!the former for the musicality, the latter for the politics and rage. These two wholly incompatible genres have manifested themselves in various ways during my recording career, but the latter has generally prevailed as most of my releases have been in song form, usually oriented towards politics, economics, environmentalism, and screeds against the generally destructive dominant trends in western civilization overall. I always felt that it was far more important to try to directly change the world with direct messages, before it's too late. (Now that I am pretty much convinced that it's too late, I can be a lot more artistically flexible.) The "Prog" influence had come out in my soundtrack work and in a few instrumental projects I've thrown together over the years, but until this album I have not had a chance to realize one of my primary artistic goals: to put out at least one (hopefully several) album(s) of quality Progressive Rock that hearkens ...
