\nG\u00e1bor Szab\u00f3\u00a0<\/strong>
\nG\u00e1bor Istv\u00e1n Szab\u00f3 (1936 \u2013 1982) was a Hungarian American guitarist whose style incorporated jazz, pop, rock and Gypsy music. After attending the Berklee College of Music, Szab\u00f3 became a member of a quintet that was led by Chico Hamilton and included Charles Lloyd, playing what has been described as chamber jazz. Szab\u00f3 was influenced by the rock music of the 1960s, particularly the use of feedback. The song “Gypsy Queen” from Szab\u00f3\u2019s debut solo album\u00a0Spellbinder\u00a0<\/em>became a hit for rock guitarist Carlos Santana. During the late 1960s, Szab\u00f3 started the label Skye Records with Gary McFarland and Cal Tjader. He continued being drawn to more popular music in the 1970s and regularly performed in California, combining elements of Gypsy and Indian music with jazz, returning regularly to Hungary to perform. It was there that he died just short of his 46th birthday. (Wikipedia)

Warzone<\/strong><\/a>
\nYoko Ono<\/strong>
\n85-year-old Yoko is always radical. Then there is that voice of hers, as Japanese as it is haunting. Yoko is always courageous, an artist who acted things out when nobody knew what a performance was, who conceives herself and everything she does as a total work of art, with a consequence only few can afford, let alone live. When Yoko Ono married John Lennon, it was fine by me. In Toronto, she spent a week in bed with my favorite Beatle at Rochedale College, where I also happened to live. With Klaus Voormann and the Plastic Ono Band, at the famous Rock & Roll Revival, she performed the entire act screaming in a bag. I thought it was\u00a0groovy<\/em>. The rest is history. Here we are dealing with a fabulous late work. Bravo! (sgs)

Wanderer – Stay<\/strong><\/a>
\nCat Power<\/strong>
\nCharlyn Marie “Chan” Marshall (1972), better known by her stage name Cat Power, is an American singer-songwriter, musician, occasional actress and model. Cat Power was originally the name of Marshall’s first band, but has become her stage name as a solo artist.\u00a0Wanderer\u00a0<\/em>is her tenth studio album. She says: \u00abThe course my life has taken in this journey \u2013 going from town to town, with my guitar, telling my tale; with reverence to the people who did this generations before me, folk singers, blues singers, and everything in between. They were all wanderers, and I am lucky to be among them\u00bb. Marshall broke with cycles of substance abuse and stage fright in 2012 and has reinvented herself many times.

La Fenice (trailer + other pieces)<\/strong><\/a>
\nKeith Jarrett<\/strong>
\nThis double album, long anticipated, presents Keith Jarrett\u2019s concert at the Gran Teatro La Fenice in Venice, from July 2006. La Fenice (the phoenix) finds him channeling the flow of inspiration into a suite of eight spontaneously created pieces referencing everything from the blues to atonality. From the first flurry of notes, it is a consistently captivating journey. Between Part
\nVI and Part VII, Jarrett surprisingly but very touchingly segues into\u00a0\u00abThe\u00a0<\/em>Sun Whose Rays\u00bb, from Gilbert and Sullivan\u2019s opera\u00a0The Mikado<\/em>. Encores are the traditional tune \u00abMy Wild Irish Rose\u00bb<\/em>, previously recorded by Jarrett on The
\nMelody At Night With You, the timeless standard\u00a0Stella By Starlight<\/em>. The concert ends with a tender version of Keith\u2019s tune \u00abBlossom\u00bb.

The Gypsy Fairy Queen<\/strong><\/a>
\nMarianne Faithfull<\/strong>
\nSince her latest record,\u00a0Negative Capability<\/em>, featuring Nick Cage, will only be released on November 2nd, here is the lead single. Faithfull has promised that her twenty-first album,\u00a0the most honest to date<\/em>, will have a \u00abfolky\u00bb feel. \u00abMarianne has long been unsurpassed when it comes to reinterpreting other people\u2019s songs, gifted in making them her own as she digs into the words to grip the composition\u2019s heart, then provides her own unique spin by injecting every syllable with clearly enunciated but a gut level emotional response. Even if she wasn\u2019t yet aware of it, this process started with\u00a0As Tears Go By<\/em>\u00a0as she plugged into its character looking back at her life. The album emphasises her unique place as a force of nature in the beating heart of modern music\u00bb. (Total Entertainment)
