Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Steven Bernstein - A Trumpet's Life pt.2

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Steven Bernstein - A Trumpet's Life pt.2 (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-09-27 We've introduced our listeners to Steven Bernstein's incredible trumpet playing and arranging skills last month, with a 40mn eclectic jazz mix. We've also published an interview (in english or french) and went to see him play his Sly Stone tribute show in Paris on sept 11, opening for Medeski, Martin and Wood; it was really amazing, the best double-bill of the year in the French capital so far!! His new album MTO plays Sly is out today and here's the second part of our A...

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Steven Bernstein - A Trumpet's Life pt.1

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Steven Bernstein - A Trumpet's Life pt.1 (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-08-31 I distinctly remember discovering Steven Bernstein's incredible trumpet playing and arranging through one of his bands, Sex Mob and their album Din of Inequity, which included some John Medeski featurings and hard-to-believe covers of Prince, John Barry, Paul McCartney and a few others. It was the end of the 90s and France was as lost musically as it is today, with musical ignorance reigning supreme. Things have been slowly evolving thanks to independent medias such as Paris...

Eyal Maoz's Edom - Hope and Destruction

Eyal Maoz Edom Hope and Destruction
Eyal Maoz's Edom - Hope and Destruction
(CD/Digital) Tzadik Records, 2009-08-25

Eyal Maoz is a guitarist, bandleader and composer of great intensity and vision. Produced by Shanir Blumenkranz, this second CD by his band Edom pushes Radical Jewish Culture to exciting new places with the addition of keyboard maniac Brian Marsella and Israeli drummer Yuval Lion. Tight, driving and intense, Hope and Destruction presents powerful Jewish rock instrumentals from a cutting edge guitarist who combines the harmonic lyricism of Bill Frisell with the angst and skronk of Marc Ribot.

Paris DJs Soundsystem - Who Is Molesting Laura ? (part 5)

Paris DJs Soundsystem - Who Is Molesting Laura ? (part 5) (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2009-05-06 This is not your usual Molesting Laura mix. Of course, it's all covers, some easy to recognize, some others not that obvious... That's because we've been specially digging in our vaults of American modern jazz. The kind of your never hear about over the Atlantic. The trip will take you from downtown New York (Medeski Martin and Wood) to New Orleans (Dirty Dozen Brass Band), from Brooklyn (Marco Benevento) to Tulsa (Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey), from San Diego (The Greyboy Allstars) to Bridgeport...

Medeski Martin and Wood - Zaebos: The Book of Angels Vol. 11

Medeski Martin and Wood Zaebos
Medeski Martin and Wood - Zaebos: The Book of Angels Vol. 11
(CD) Tzadik TZ7368, 2008-09-03

Info :
Due to a manufacturing error, Medeski Martin and Wood's Zaebos: The Book of Angels Vol. 11 has been moved to a release date of 9/16
Focused, ecstatic and wildly improvisational, the trio of Medeski Martin and Wood is one of the most popular and vibrant instrumental ensembles of the last few decades, playing to packed houses from Budokan to Bonnaroo and back again. Original members of the earliest Masada units (reaching back to 1993), they are a natural choice to interpret the lyrical Book of Angels, and here return to the fold like three prodigal sons. Ten exhilarating and creative arrangements of Zorn compositions that alternately groove, lope, shred and burn with a fiery passion.

01. Zagzagel
02. Sefrial
03. Agmatia
04. Rifion
05. Chafriel
06. Ahaij
