Stas Venglevski - Welcome to My World - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

?The Noble-Slavík-Clarvis Trio plays purely acoustic music that draws deeply from the jazz tradition and playing styles of the past. However, it creatively transforms them into a contemporary form and at the same time points to the possible future development of this genre. The trio brings together the Czech double bassist Jirí Slavík and two musicians from the UK, both a generation older than him, the leading English jazz pianist Liam Noble and Abbey Road percussionist Paul Clarvis. The collaborative recordings of this acclaimed duo have been a major influence on Slavík since he first met them as a student at London's Royal Academy of Music. Noble and Clarvis have played together in various formations and are also very fond of meeting as a duo to sail through pop, classical and jazz repertoire together with an easy, detached view and grace. Both musicians always manage to play with dynamics and enjoy making music together.

The 7th epic album from InchThe Doomsday DeviceInch, the solo project from Craig Snape, former singer/songwriter of InchGenaroInch from Edinburgh based Benbecula Records.InchWelcome To My WorldInch is arguably InchThe Doomsday Device'sInch best and most accessible album to date. The fantastically epic soundscapes remain with a fast pace, angelic vocal, crisper sound and more powerful driving beat than ever. Reminiscent of new wave bandsInchJoy DivisionInch, InchThe SoundInch and InchEcho and the BunnymenInch the album moves into overdrive with the gliding guitarline and angry vocal of InchGimme Some TimeInch bringing the listener to immediate attention. The power of the album continues with the fingertapping bladerunner style masterpiece InchFluctuation Of A SpiritInch and moves into hyperdrive with the title track InchWelcome To My WorldInch one of the best singles to be released from the shores of the UK in recent times. Also with the epic, melodic ballads InchLoserInch and InchCrazyInch the album InchWelcome To My WorldInch will be remembered as one of the truly great albums of it's generation.

Cellist Mikayel Hakhnazaryan, of the Kuss Quartet, delivers a very personal musical exploration of the emotions of a musician, away from their homeland, discovering new worlds, and searching for their inner voice and inner world. InchWhen you leave your homeland, you leave behind something very important that is hard to describe in words. It is that light and air which you unconsciously love, it is the smell of spring, the kindness of people under whose warm gaze you flourish and of course, the sounds of music. How lucky we musicians are to be able to collect all these precious things into one whole - into music, into melodies that are always with us in our head and heart; melodies that belong to us all, that we can reproduce and relive at any time. By leaving one country you give yourself the chance to discover another world, where new motifs and colors accompany you like a guide, in the search for your own voice and your own inner world. This recording is an illustration of my musical journey, during which I meet friends old and new with equal joy.Inch
