The song that burst Blondie out of the streets of the Bowery to #1 on the charts, InchHeart of GlassInch was the pivotal moment in punk's choreographed slamdance with the mainstream. Inspired by Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder, Blondie transformed their campy InchOnce I Had A LoveInch into a Roland-driven juggernaut and never looked back. Explored and exploded via six distinct versions remastered from the original analog tapes, the history of InchHeart of GlassInch is documented here in a copious essay and it's art reimagined by noted American illustrator Shepard Fairey.

An object in motion stays in motion, as Newton eloquently explained. Thus we have the link connecting one enterprising artist to another. With Motivity, his fifth album to date, saxophonist Alex Lore draws a direct line from his chordless trio approach to that of his mentor, the late Lee Konitz, on Motion (Verve, 1961). Working with two of the finest rhythm modernists on today's scene-bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Johnathan Blake-LoRe upholds his reputation as an inveterate creative, presenting a thoughtfully constructed program highlighting his love for melody, communion and pure improvisation as they relate to both the source material and his own search for meaning in music.
