Fagnano | Engineering, mix, mastering Produced by Rita Selby | (c) The Snee Music Co. (BMI) All Rights Reserved. Recorded at Bennett Studios | Englewood, NJ Rita Selby: On Earth by Czékus Mihály September 21, 2008 (translated from the original Hungarian text) The prominent American jazz critic, Gene Kalbacher, simply called Rita Selby the young Ella Fitzgerald. Anyone listening to the New York-based singer's album entitled 'On Earth' will be convinced of the fact that the American critic's statement was not groundless. Rita Selby was raised in New Jersey and she took her first piano lessons from her grandmother, then she became the pupil of Leontine Bodenlosz Geib. It was at the age of seven that she faced her first challenge by taking part in the first piano competition in her life. Subsequently her masters were Gary Kirkpatrick and Peter Serkin. She earned her degree in piano performance and voice at William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey. Selby feels at home both in classical music and jazz. She has taken part in numerous orchestral formations from Wayne Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra to the New Jersey Percussion Ensemble. When asked about her role model she always mentions Ella Fitzgerald first. However, answering the question about the performers influencing her music she outlines a very wide range from Bach to Chopin, from Barbra Streisand to Dinah Washington, and from Miles Davis to Astrud Gilberto. Nowadays her interest has shifted towards jazz. Her excellent qualities as performer are proven by the fact that she is a permanent performer at the most famous jazz clubs of New York from Chez Suzette through Birdland to Sweet Rhythm and The Cornelia Street Café. On her album entitled On Earth which features 12 of her own compositions, Selby does not only sing and play the piano, but also performs the producer's tasks. It is easy to warm up to the album due to it's soft and pleasant sound. There is definitely something enchanting in it (the best examples are the Latinish Rain at Midnight and Anything at All, which reminds one of Astrud Gilberto a little, but not sleep-inducing at all). The atmosphere created by Selby is able to make us believe that it is evening and we are sitting on the terrace of an elite restaurant at the top of a New York skyscraper. Sitting in a comfortable chair with a glass of fine drink in our hands after a delicious dinner we enjoy listening to the high quality music of the ensemble. Compositions such as Romance, Meaning of Life, Good Morning Love and Sunshine let us indulge in this dream in a manner of abandonment. . . The harmony between Selby and her musicians is free from any affectation. They cooperate wonderfully in creating this fascinating and dreamlike production. _________________________________________________________________________________________ ON EARTH All music & lyrics written by Rita Selby Rita Selby | voice, tracks 1-12 | piano, 9 | whistle, 12 Peter Bernstein | electric guitar | tracks 6, 8, 9 Freddie Bryant | acoustic guitar | tracks 1, 5, 7, 10, 11 Anton Denner | alto sax | track 1 Peter Brainin | tenor sax, tracks 2, 3, 4, 10 | flute, 12 Matt King | piano | tracks 1-5, 7, 8, 10-12 Andy Eulau | double bass | tracks 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11 Rufus Reid | double bass | tracks 6 & 9 Doug Weiss | double bass | tracks 2, 4, 8, 12 Pete McDonald | drums | tracks 1-12 Produced by Rita Selby | (c) The Snee Music Co.

Cyro
Honest Jon's Records present a reissue of Derek Bailey and Cyro Baptista's Cyro, originally released on Incus in 1988. When Cyro Baptista moved to New York in 1980 from his home city of São Paulo, he brought with him an arsenal of percussion instruments, including the cuica (friction drum), surdo (the booming bass drum associated with samba), berimbau (single-string bow with resonating gourd), and cabasas galore, in the next few years deploying them most notably in numerous ensembles curated by John Zorn, who helped set up this studio session in 1982. As you might expect from someone whose infectious grooves have graced the work of Herbie Hancock, Astrud Gilberto, and Cassandra Wilson, Baptista expertly fires off cunning polyrhythms, even traces of thumping samba, with restless fluency. Bailey, the wily old fox, skirts and eschews the bait, which is quickly conjured away and newly fashioned. The guitarist homes in on the delicious squeaks of the cuica and the twanging drones of the berimbau with truly awesome tonal precision. You could sing along if you wanted, after a caipirinha or two. And he gets almost as many different sounds from his instrument as Baptista can from his kit - check out the stratospheric plings and string-length fret-sweeps of "Tonto", which sound more like a prepared piano than an acoustic guitar. Wonders abound, from the berimbau/bent-string exchanges that open "Quanto Tempo" to the delightful collision of howling cuica and spiky bebop on "Polvo", and the spare, preposterous Webernian samba of "Improvisation 3". These days, "improvisation" often appears without it's customary qualifier "free". If there were ever a case to be made for it's reinstatement, this album is the best supporting evidence. Freedom means you're free to get into the groove, free not to, free to play with each other, free to play against each other. Sometimes frustrating, even scary, but more often than not in the hands of these two great masters it's hilarious, exhilarating and utterly irresistible.- Shop: odax

Love Is Enough
Zu Lia Paminas Einflüssen gehören die großen weiblichen Stimmen wie Claudine Longet, Astrud Gilberto und Françoise Hardy. Viele der Songs stammen aus der Feder von Elefant Records-Superstar Joe Moore (THE YEARNING)Zu Lia Paminas Einflüssen gehören die großen weiblichen Stimmen wie Claudine Longet, Astrud Gilberto und Françoise Hardy. Viele der Songs stammen aus der Feder von Elefant Records-Superstar Joe Moore (THE YEARNING) The songs released so far by Castellon's Lia Pamina have been marked by, on the one hand, the influences of female voices like Claudine Longet, Astrud Gilberto and Françoise Hardy, and on the other hand, collaborations with important song-writers and producers who have dressed her songs and lyrics. That's what happened on her debut single with Robbie Leff (Johnny Winter, Alice Cooper, THE CRABS), Roger Gunnarson (PUSHY PARENTS, THE GARLANDS) and Le Prix (PUSHY PARENTS, Kylie Minogue, Sally Shapiro). Her first full-length is sponsored by one of our most-loved names currently on Elefant Records' roster: Joe Moore (THE YEARNING). Lia Pamina's voice and Joe Moore's songs seem like they were destined to find each other. The sweetness and freshness of the former, and the imagination and fantasy of the latter, all poured into the evocation of a certain sound - music from the end of the 60s and the beginning of the 70s - where we follow them as they visit some of their favorite names, on an album that seems like it was conceived as a journey. Though this album is really conceived as a tribute to love. But let's take this step by step. Or, better yet, song by song. Better Off Without You begins with the trademark details, so close to other groups that work within the same parameters, like THE SCHOOL and CAMERA OBSCURA: an effective melody, a catchy chorus, and an exquisite result. Walking Away is one of the songs that most clearly has Joe Moore's mark on it: the clavichord, the elegant touches of folk, the romantic halo of a song that the label chamber pop doesn't even come close to describing. The Boy I Used To Know seems like it was made to be a part of the The Umbrella's Of Cherbourg soundtrack. Para Los Dos surprises us in Spanish, it's a delicious duo with Carlos René (musician and producer for AXOLOTES MEXICANOS and SAN FRANCISCO), to a bossa beat, evoking that marvelous trio that came together in La Fusa: Vinicius de Moraes, Maria Creuza and Toquinho. Love clears everything up: somewhere between THE LEFT BANKE and HARPERS BIZARRE, with love as the undisputed star, as the axis around which any and all motivation that each and every note on the album carries. With a trajectory like this, THE RONETTES and Phil Spector couldn't be left out, but this time they do it directly, with a magnificent cover of their appetizing Keep On Dancing. Sycamore Tree opens the B-side with a trip to the hallucinogenic world that THE BEACH BOYS and BROADCAST inhabit - marvelous, epic, exciting. Someone needs to write a musical dissertation about that bridge and the pizzicato. And all this in barely two minutes. Which is a bit longer than Ghost, evocative, like Lynsey De Paul's most melancholy moments. Party In The Night is one of the fruits of the collaboration with the previously mentioned Robbie Leff, whose touches can still be found on this full-length with this delicious song that could have been a part of Françoise Hardy's album, La Question. Créeme is an incredible LOS ANGELES cover, as if Jeanette herself had made it her own. Listening to the song and breaking into pieces are one and the same. Talking To Myself appeals to intimacy and includes, finally, Joe Moore on vocals. As if it were Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood. And the thing is, this duo could undoubtedly be one of the biggest stories for lovers of those collaborations. The album comes to a close luminously with Love Is Enough, which moves forward with a delicate but multi-color echo of soul, and which gives the album its name and reinforces the album's main idea. This album is made with sensitivity, doing justice to a title that appeals to love as the driving force and as the inspiration for delicous songs. Joe Moore and Lia Pamina. What amazing news.

Ondine Darcyl
Every once in a while a new singer comes along whom makes you listen. Rarer still is the new voice that makes you listen two or three times, but that describes the quiet, yet persistent entrance of Ondine Darcyl on to the music scene. Her voice is soothing and sensuous, even hypnotic. In her debut CD Ondine presents an array of international standards that reflect her own transcultural background. She was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina to a French father and a Romanian mother, spent many months in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil accompanying her parents on work trips, and moved to the United States when she was 18. In Boston Ondine studied law and is contracts attorney by profession (perhaps that's why this is an independent release! Smart lady!) She never gave up her long time love of music and for fortunately us, four years ago she decided to pursue her singing career in earnest. Keeping with the bossa nova tradition, reminiscent of an early Astrud Gilberto, Ondine opens with the music of Tom Jobim. Listening to Ondine reminds me of those deliciously lazy Sunday afternoons in Brazil after a long day at the beach while the tropical sun is still warm and soothing, but the shadows are growing long. Similarly you can feel the sultry heat and humidity of the North American South in the phrasing of her rendition of Gershwin's Summertime. Ondine has a special quality that allows her to revisit Brazilian, Latin, French and American standards and make them her own. She so sweetly complains, 'He doesn't See me,' in her rendition of Garota de Ipanema. It makes you really feel sad for her as You can envision her sitting in that sidewalk cafe in Ipanema longingly watching some handsome carioca pass by completely unaware he is being adored by this soft singing French-Argentinean New Yorker. She gracefully moves back and forth between French and English in Luis Bonfa's Manha de Carnaval in such a way that subtly reinvents first contact. After all, it was through the French lens of Marcel Camus's film Black Orpheus (from whence the song originates) that a generation of North Americans was first introduced to and enchanted the melodies and rhythms of Brazil. Likewise, her haunting covers of French standards like La Vie en Rose leave the listener with a wonderful feeling with just the it touch of bittersweet melancholy. Although she's a new comer to the music scene, Ondine keeps musical company with impressive array of musicians. She has played with the acclaimed Brazilian Percussionist Cafe, as well as Valthinho, Mauro Refosco, and guitarists Freddie Bryant and Paul Ricci, to name a few. Joining Ondine on this recording is the multi- instrumentalist and fellow Buenos Aires native (although they met in New York), Hernan Romero. Hernan, who is perhaps best known for playing with Al Di Meola, does an amazing job of doubling on the guitar and keyboards to recreate the feel of a full band. So, to you, the listener, I invite you to so as I did. Sit back and listen once, then again and again to the lyrical interpretations of Ondine Darcyl. - written by Judith King.- Shop: odax
