Mark Rae - Rae Road - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Attrition - Across the Divide Live in Holland [COMPACT DISCS] date 08/11/2009

Grammy Award winning cellist Sara Sant'Ambrogio first hit the international stage by winning the Tchaikovsky International Violoncello Competition in Russia which resulted in her Carnegie Hall debut televised nationally in the US. Since then, she has performed thousands of concerts on six continents both as a soloist and with her ensemble, the Eroica Trio. Sara has finally fulfilled her lifelong dream of recording the romantic masterpiece, Elgar Cello Concerto, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra-one of England's finest orchestras. She pairs the Elgar with a rich, new romantic cello concerto written for her by Bruce Wolosoff and her own arrangements of Astor Piazzolla's sultry Libertango and Oblivion to complete a recording designed to delight the listeners ears and linger in their souls.

2011 album from the producer, writer, arranger, DJ, remixer and performer. Though many know him for his production work and his collaborative assignments (he's worked with people like Jill Scott and Leon Ware amongst many), he's also recorded eight of his own albums.... and this new 14 tracker makes it nine. Renegades reflects his multi-faceted approach to his music; here there's Soul, funk, Tech-Afrobeat and hints of Latin too. To help him fill out his ideas he's brought in some top names. Percussion is handled by Sheila E, Pino Palladino is the bassist while Miguel Atwood-Ferguson is the string contractor. There's also a varied cast of vocalists Nia Andrews, Tawiah, Sandra Nkale and Omar.
