Gonzales - Ivory Tower - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In December 2011, Chilly Gonzales moved his piano into Paris Studio Pigalle. There, alone for 10 days, he recorded a handful of songs that had made the short list from a hundred or so melodies written over the eight years that had passed since the of the now iconic Solo Piano. Hour upon hour, the purest and most microscopic process of recording took place. Chilly Gonzales played all the songs over and over and over again, until each one's essence had been captured. After years of entertaining with his larger than life musical persona and challenging all artists to work tirelessly to achieve excellence out of respect for their fans, Chilly Gonzales brings us perhaps his most powerful argument of all, the 14 pieces of Solo Piano II.

Rebecca Penneys - Bicentennial Tribute Works By Chopin & Schumann [COMPACT DISCS] date 01/29/2013

The virtually unknown band Ivory modeled their music after the sounds of Jefferson Airplane. In fact, it was produced in 1968 by the Airplane's genius himself, Mr. Al Schmitt. The group features the beautiful female vocals of Chris Christman, and fuzzed-out, psychedelic guitars.
