Alex Riel & Special Quartet - Full House - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Beeston Pipe Band - Scotland-Pipes & Drums [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/28/2014

Alice Cooper's Welcome to My Nightmare became a dream come true for the legendary shock rocker and his fans; his first solo album, it soared to #5 in 1975 and became a '70s rock classic. His hits Only Women Bleed; Department of Youth, and Welcome to My Nightmare join the rest of the original LP, and this remastered reissue (the album has never sounded so good!) tacks on three bonus tracks. Rock 'n' roll!

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.
