     Kiku has a unique sound. Not only is her group tightly knit, she has an outstanding sound. She layers on trumpet, flugel, and trombone parts that fit well together. You can feel her spirit in the quality of her playing. Aren't many ladies playing trumpets and she is definately one to watch. After listening to this CD I wanted to hear more.

     After years of making an impact on the Soviet Union's jazz underground, saxophonist Alexey Kozlov formed the Arsenal in the early '70s. The band, which became one of the most popular jazz-rock groups in the Soviet Union, released a number of LPs from 1976 to 1991. These were later collected and reissued by Boheme Music as a four-CD box set, Scorched By Time. In 1986, Kozlov became a regular host of TV and radio programs on jazz and rock history and in 1989 he published one of Russia's first-ever objective histories of western rock music, entitled Rock Music: Roots and Development. The '90s brought some new collaborations and musical directions for Kozlov, who began to work with new age styles, as well as undertaking a critically acclaimed collaboration with the Shostakovich String Quartet. The album which resulted from that collaboration, Alexey Kozlov and the Shostakovich String Quartet, was released by Boheme Music in 2000. ~ Stacia Proefrock, All Music Guide

Московская группа АРСЕНАЛ основана в 1973 году джазовым саксофонистом Алексеем Козловым. В начале своей музыкальной карьеры группа играла джаз и джаз-рок. В дальнейшем АРСЕНАЛ превратился в ансамбль, экспериментирующий в самых современных стилях. Одна из первых в стране группа освоила стиль "фьюжн" и "новую волну". В годы тотального увлечению брейком коллектив играл и в этом стиле. Выступления АРСЕНАЛА часто превращались в сценические шоу. После 1986 года, не отказываясь от электронных инструментов, группа вернулась к авангарду и джаз-року.

     Composer: Goran Bregovic, Harry Kandel, Nigel / Bawol, Jerzy / Kukurba, Tomasz / Lato, T Kennedy, Traditional, Unspecified

     As a classical violinist, Nigel Kennedy has always cultivated a very careful reputation as a rebel (scruffy beard, spiky hair, no bow tie) while making a comfortable living playing a generally pretty safe repertoire; audiences who wouldn't cross the street to hear genuinely difficult music by Elliott Carter or Michael Tippett could go listen to the T-shirted Kennedy play The Four Seasons and feel like they were on the cutting edge. Outside the classical arena, his projects have been a bit more interesting, and none has been more affecting than this eerily lovely collection of new compositions and folk tunes drawing on Polish and other Eastern European traditions. Teamed up with the Krakow band Kroke (violist and flutist Tomasz Kukurba, accordionist Jerzy Bawol, and string bassist Tomasz Lato), Kennedy delivers a set of tunes that are, by turns, dramatic, soothing, emotionally tormented, and romantically yearning.....

     The smooth jazz saxophone Maestro Gerald Albright is no one-dimensional purveyor of musical wallpaper. He has recorded seven successful solo albums for Atlantic when he wasn't busy, assisting an impressive roster of popular R&B artists. Some of the more well-known artists Albright assisted during his career include Anita Baker, Regina Belle, Quincy Jones, the Temptations, Phil Collins, Whitney Houston, and many, many more.
     His new release, his eleventh solo offering, "Sax For Stax" (Peak Records) is a refreshing, well balanced authentic and innovative work which sets out to unashamedly do what it says on the packet!
     Always a consistent upholder of authenticity and purity, he turns the soul music of Stax Records, the legendary Memphis-based recording company that defined southern soul from the late `50s to the mid '70s, into a soul stirring stew of down home rhythm and blues chased with a mason jar of jazz.
