Called "a rousing original" by Rolling Stone when he burst onto the scene in 1978 with the classic "Life in the Foodchain" album, Tonio K. has had a rabid following since that release (Stereo Review called his debut "the greatest album ever recorded," then said that "Amerika" replaced it in that spot when it was released two years later!).

Happy nihilist Tonio K. returns after his critically acclaimed Life in the Foodchain with a stronger, even more sardonic record, Amerika. With tight riffs and intelligent lyrics, Tonio K. rocks hard on this one. But if an album's message can make one want to walk into traffic, this is it. Every song here espouses the end of all hope, the absence of values, the hopelessness of the human condition -- all sung with intelligence and wit (from "Say Goodbye": "The signs are everywhere/Only no one even cares/This paradise is dying/Say goodbye"). Most notable is the Dada tribute in the final track, "Merzsuite," which is divided into three sections ("Let Us Join Together in a Tune," "Umoré," and "Futt Futt Futt"). A lot of fun. Tonio K. is punk for academics. Lots of literary and political references. Lots of words in foreign languages (he admits in the CD reissue liner notes that he doesn't know what the foreign words mean, but he can look them up). A fun recording all around. ~ Mark W.B.

Amerika
$14.09
Featuring the recording debut of Big Star's Chris Bell, this outrageously enjoyable blend of psychedelic rock, Memphis soul and dirty R&B kicks off with one of the most audacious and successful Beatles covers ever. Terry Manning was a key figure in '60s Memphis music-making -- from his experience at Stax (learning from the likes of Isaac Hayes, Ike & Tina Turner, Willie Mitchell, Booker T. Jones, Eddie Floyd, Al Green, Otis Redding, The Boxtops, Percy Sledge, The Staple Singers, Mississippi John Hurt, etc.) he became the Ardent Studios engineer/producer, and co-owner of the Ardent Records label that released the Big Star albums. Originally released on Stax's Enterprise label, this record is Manning's only solo work (he engineered, produced, and played almost all of the instruments) and features a feast of fuzz guitar, sweet vocals and funky rhythms that makes its long overdue CD debut here (complete with full liner notes and three bonus tracks), Home Sweet Home is a tongue-in-cheek blast from start to finish, and guaranteed to thrill fans.
Personnel: Terry Manning (vocals, guitar); Terry Manning (various instruments); Paul Cannon, Christopher Bell , Paul Cannon (guitar); Jon Weiss, Robert Moog (Moog synthesizer); Leroy Hodges (bass guitar); Steve Rhea, Steve Rhea (drums); Chris ...

=======================================================JOSHUA GOODMAN - piano / compositions / leader=======================================================Jazz pianist/composer Joshua Goodman began his musical training in Montreal in classical music at age 6, but would pursue an undeniable jazz calling through his teens, eventually arriving at McGill University in the Jazz Studies program under Fred Henke. His post-grad studies would take him to New York City, where he would become an avid student of the legendary Barry Harris. Returning to Canada and armed with Harris' acclaimed bebop knowledge base, he began to perform regularly throughout Canada, pausing to attend the Banff Jazz Program in 1994. This experience would unlock more doors for Joshua, whose affiliations with Pat LaBarbera, Hugh Fraser, John Clayton & Kenny Wheeler would catalyze more playing opportunities in America and Europe, before heading to California to continue post-graduate studies at California Universities. There, while becoming a regular in the San Franciso and Los Angeles. jazz circuit, he would record with virtuoso vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson and, after studies with legendary Cuban pianist Chucho Valdes, would go on to win first prize at the Latin Jazz Festival in Reno, California. 2002 saw Joshua return to Toronto, Canada to build his working quintet featuring some of the country's most in demand and decorated jazz musicians of this generation of players. He is considered one of the exciting new post-bop voices on the scene in Toronto, as his national reputation continues to grow.=======================================================BROWNMAN - trumpet=======================================================Born in Trinidad, schooled in New York City under iconic trumpeter Randy Brecker's watchful eye and now heralded as "Canada's preeminent jazz trumpeter" by New York City's Village ...
