Yaz - Upstairs At Erics - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2008 digitally remastered reissue of the Synthpop duo's debut album coinciding with their reunion tour. Originally released in July '82, the album from former Depeche Mode songwriter Vince Clarke and vocalist Alison Moyet explored the pair's unusual potential to stunning effect. From the raunchy Synth Funk of 'Goodbye 70s' to the chilling darkness of 'Winter Kills', it was one of the most complete debut albums to have emerged throughout the decade as a whole, with the cover image of dismembered showroom dummies echoing the music's sense of dislocation from the standard pop formula. Features the hit singles 'Only You' and 'Don't Go'. Mute.

With it's expansive musical range, great expressive capability, and cello-like tessitura, it's surprising that there doesn't exist more classical solo repertoire for the baritone saxophone. With that thought, Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Aaron Lington presents a program of works composed specifically for the instrument - Robert Nelson's 1996 InchConcerto for Baritone Saxophone and Orchestra,Inch and Eric McIntyre's InchSecondary ImpressionsInch - along with a transcription of Astor Piazzolla's InchMilonga sin Palabras,Inch and Joan Tower's InchWings,Inch which she encouraged Lington to perform on the baritone saxophone. Known primarily as a composer/arranger and jazz saxophonist, Lington received his doctorate from the University of North Texas in classical saxophone performance and remains active internationally through his position at San Jose State University and as a Silicon Valley Artist Laureate. InchLington... shows a true command of his instrument with a very studied and soulful essence.Inch - International Trumpet Guild
