Various Artists - Gritty '60s Garage & Punk (Various Artists) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The tag that ignited the Dutch post-punk scene!Homogeneity be damned, these early Plurex tracks are a head-turning snapshot of what was happening in the late '70s Netherlands underground! Includes an interview with Plurex founders and all of the singles from 1978-'80!Some of the bands would never another record, but for the tag and many of the artists there was yet more history to be made, not least of which was Minny Pops' ascendance to seminal status, and Plurex's emergence at the center of the envelope-pushing Dutch music scene that came to be known as Ultra. InchIt's extreme, that's what that word stands for,Inch explains van Middendorp of the movement, InchIt stands for something that's clearly outspoken, and that's what we tried to do.Inch From the confrontational clang of their early punk releases to the electronic art attacks that arrived soon after, Plurex was about saying something new, loudly enough for all to hear.When those records were made,Inch says van Middendorp, InchI never expected that we would have a conversation about them 40 years later if not longer. At the time nobody was even thinking for one minute that this might happen... That so many years down the line there's still people out there that will discover this music. And the great thing [about The Plurex Story] is that it's also on a that I'm a big fan of, because who gives a S**t about the stream? It's nice to have a physical album in your hands.Inch Album Tracks 1. Mollesters - Plastic 2. Ze Popes - Sexy Pyjamas 3. Tits - Daddy Is My Pusher 4. Minny Pops - Footsteps 5.

In Le monde d'hier, bassoonist Mathieu Lussier and pianist Francis Perron explore French and English repertoire for bassoon written at beginning of the 20th century. The composers recorded here, including Elgar, Gounod, Massenet, and Saint-Saëns, fully embraced the Romantic movement of their era. Gabriel Pierné's almost jazzy Solo de concert rubs shoulders with the noble and introspective Romance by Edward Elgar. Lussier has also chosen grand sonatas by Camille Saint-Saëns and William Hurlstone, as well as smaller works and short vignettes by Herbert Howells, Eugène Bourdeau, Charles Gounod, Jules Massenet, and Philippe Gaubert. As a soloist, Mathieu Lussier has energetically and passionately promoted the modern and baroque bassoon as solo instruments for more than two decades throughout North America and Europe. He also devotes considerable time to chamber music as a member of ensemble Pentaèdre de Montréal. Since the summer of 2014, he has been a faculty member at the Université de Montréal. Since 2014, Lussier has been associated with Les Violons du Roy as Conductor-in-residence. In his role as Associate Conductor from 2014 to2018, Lussier led the orchestra in concerts in Quebec, and on tour across Canada, the United States, Mexico and Brazil. Lussier was recently appointed Artistic Director of Arion Baroque Orchestra. Francis Perron's wide experience as chamber musician, accompanist and vocal coach have made him a much sought-after collaborator. A founding member of the Orford Six Pianos ensemble and a member of the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne (NEM) since 2017, Francis Perron is currently an associate professor at the Université de Montréal Faculty of Music, responsible for the piano accompaniment program in addition to being the vice-dean for international relations.

After more than 30 concerts and many excellent reviews about their first trio albums InchTales From The UnexpectedInch and InchEuropean TrioInch, the Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi and the Dutch double bassist Jasper Somsen recorded their third trio album with the Catalan drummer Jorge Rossy InchCommon ViewInch. The new album is an equal and refreshing collaboration featuring these three masters both as performing artists and composers. Three totally different lives, characters and backgrounds collide as one InchCommon ViewInch. Challenge Records produced by Jasper Somsen. Enrico Pieranunzi has long been one of the best-known and appreciated personalities on the European jazz scene. Pianist, composer, arranger, he has recorded more than seventy albums under his own name, ranging from solo piano to trio, and from duet to quintet. He has played in concert and in the studio with Chet Baker, Lee Konitz, Marc Johnson, Joey Baron, Paul Motian, Chris Potter and Charlie Haden, performing at all the most important international festivals, from Montreal to Copenhagen, from Berlin to Madrid. Pieranunzi's formative years embraced both classical and jazz piano, and the influence of Debussy is readily apparent in the rich romanticism at the heart of his music. Emerging in the early '70s, Pieranunzi's lyrical approach quickly brought him to the forefront of the European scene, and in 1984 he formed a trio with Marc Johnson and Joey baron, the first of several outstanding groups with American musicians. In 1989, 2003 and 2008 he was voted Musician of the Year in the Italian magazine Musica Jazz critic's poll and he was 1997 recipient of the Django d'Or Award for best European Jazz Musician. In the recent years Pieranunzi performed and recorded frequently in the United States.
