Guitarist John McLaughlin and his band of jazz-rock merry men were at the peak of their form when this essential live document was recorded in 1973. For the fans of this new fusion music, BETWEEN NOTHINGNESS & ETERNITY was the apotheosis of the genre that few would transcend.

Mona Lisa
$7.59 
And why should the guy live on what the average jazzman makes if they'll pay him to surround himself with strings and keep the tunes simple? Twenty years ago, fans of Benson's tough, muscular synthesis of bop, blues and post-bop ideas screamed "sellout" over his success with "On Broadway" and "This Masquerade." Today we know better, because we have another name for it--smooth jazz.
George Benson plays the guitar so well that jazz fans find evidence that he still cares even amidst the most disposable string- and synth-laden offerings. ...

| | Herb Alpert Definitive Hits CD (2001)
Mona Lisa
$11.99  
Digitally remastered using 20-bit remastering technology by Doug Sax and Robert Hadley (The Mastering Lab, Los Angeles, California).
Before his run at the top of the easy-listening charts, Herb Alpert was already a music-industry veteran, writing and producing hits for Sam Cooke and Jan & Dean. Alpert also deserves a place in history as co-founder and owner of A&M Records, one of the most successful independent labels of all time. A solid 20-track compilation spanning Alpert's career, DEFINITIVE HITS covers the trumpeter/singer/label executive's glory years--the 1961-'68 stretch between "The Lonely Bull" and the Burt Bacharach-penned vocal showcase "This Guy's in Love with You." However, it also conveniently gathers material from the post-Tijuana Brass period when Alpert ...

| | Renwicke It's Ok To Sit In The Middle Of The Road Henry CD (2006)
Mona Lisa
$11.39
"Need some jazz that's a little more adventurous and free? Chaotic? Unpredictable? Check out it's okay to sit in the middle of the road henry (8bells), a new album by a five-piece who call themselves Renwicke..I should say right now that I am a huge fan of improvisational jazz, because I never know what to expect. The music, the sounds, the mood, it can go anywhere at anytime, sometimes throughout a song. There isn't an overall mood of the album, it's just "press record and see what comes out of us". The album has songs with such creative titles as "dialin'", "sl.6", "-ing!", "nbbstrm", "OnuH!", and "+/- [apoc]". To the outsider, this may come off as foolish random sounds, but this is anything but random. Within some of these sound textures are some beautiful sounds where it might be a layer of horns mixed in with percussive sounds panning back and forth in the mix, or trumpets ...

They come from the East of Melbourne, Australia where the hills are big and the beats are even bigger. Following up their previous EP 'Memoirs Of An Ashtray', Live@Subs returned with the new EP Holiday in Japan fortified with the title track which has been receiving some huge support from Triple J. In keeping with their cheeky nature and definite influences from the likes of Sublime, Bob Marley & The Chilli Peppers, the Holiday In Japan single is all about living the good life and along with five other killer tunes the EP is chockfull of funk-filled riffs and reggae-rockn beats. Each descending from their own separate musical backgrounds, Live@Subs is an interesting combination of life long musicians. From that of Guitarist/Singer Sub who played with US group The Toledo Show, touring the US during 1997 & 1998, followed by an Australian tour in late '98 finishing at the Byron Bay Blues and Roots Festival. Or Deef Live@Subs drummer/singer, x-drummer of heavy grooves band Another Race (aka Biscuit), and bassist Wingman. Now playing together after knowing each other since they were in school, "the Subs" boys take a somewhat different approach to their music, enjoying each gig, recording session and tour as one big party/a way of life! Another highlight for the band was featuring on the new Triple J "Like a version 2" compilation ...
