Bird of Paradise<\/strong><\/a>
\nDead Venus<\/strong>
\nMike Malloth, the drummer on this piece, suggested I give you the link, and I am happy to oblige. Dead Venus was founded in spring 2015 by the Swiss singer & composer Seraina Telli as a solo project while she was still the lead singer of the German neo-prog band \u00abSurrilium\u00bb. Soon afterwards, however, she decided that she wanted to bring more musicians on board to develop her ideas and continue working collectively. On March 6, 2019, Dead Venus released their first self-titled EP, available through the band’s home page. It contains three songs and is a sampler of their first full album,\u00a0Bird of Paradise<\/em>, released on September 13, 2019. Mike Malloth lives in Lucerne where he teaches drums and digital management. He has been active with various groups, drumming and singing back-up.

Ghosteen<\/strong><\/a>
\nNick Cave & the Bad Seeds<\/strong>
\nThe Australian rocker has done it again. This is his 17th album, and one of his best. Lyrical, moving and somber, the music is brilliantly clear, the organ and the piano lure us toward celestial spheres where a fall from grace spells a broken heart or a troubled soul. Cave was born on 22 September 1957 in Warracknabeal, a small country town in the state of Victoria. There he lived as a child and then in Wangarata in rural Victoria. His father taught English and mathematics at the local technical school; his mother was a librarian at the high school that Nick attended. Cave’s father introduced him to literary classics from an early age. As a child, Nick was a big fan of the outlaw Ned Kelly, later played by Mick Jagger. (https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ghosteen)

It Might Be Time<\/strong><\/a>
\nTame Impala<\/strong>
\nAlso out of Australia, the psychedelic experimental music project Tame Impala soon found an international following. Led by multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker, they hail from southwestern Perth. \u00abAs a touring act, Parker (guitar, vocals) plays alongside Dominic Simper (guitar, synthesizer) and some members of Australian psychedelic rock band Pond \u2013 Jay Watson (synthesizer, vocals, guitar), Cam Avery (bass guitar, vocals), and Julien Barbagallo (drums, vocals).\u00bb (Wikipedia) On 2 January 2019, Tame Impala was announced as a headliner for the 2019 Coachella Festival.

Close to Me<\/strong><\/a>
\nMaria Mendes<\/strong>
\nThis is the third album by the Portuguese singer Maria Mendes, having as guests the famous American producer\/pianist John Beasley and the biggest symphonic orchestra of jazz in the world, Metropole Orkest. Maria Mendes has her heart and soul in Jazz. She studied in New York, Brussels, Rotterdam and Porto and her talent and work were praised by musical legends such as Quincy Jones and Hermeto Pascoal. However, for his new album, Mendes explored a musical genre completely different from her own, fado. The result is surprising and refreshing in adaptations of fados never before made to Jazz. \u00abA jazzy and symphonic approach to fado,\u00bb is how the singer briefly describes the music on her new album\u00a0Close to Me<\/em>.

The Sidewinder\/The Beat Goes On<\/strong><\/a>
\nJeff Goldblum & the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra featuring Inara George<\/strong>
\nMost famous for his acting in Jurassic Park (being only one out of more than seventy movies he played in), Jeff Goldblum is also a world-class jazz pianist. Accompanied by a varying cast of supporting female vocalists (noteworthy as always Haley Reinhardt), Jeff interprets a number of standards, sometimes singing them himself as well. \u00abThe Hollywood star imposes his inimitable personality on a set of jazz standards, silkily played in the company of the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.\u00bb (Guardian) He has released his first album at the age of sixty-six.

Say I Won\u2019t<\/strong><\/a>
\nAnthony Russo<\/strong>
\nLos Angeles-based singer, producer, and songwriter Anthony Russo developed his smooth blend of low-key electronic, sleek dance-pop, and playful romantic ballads in his native St. Louis. With his mix of rapped and sung vocals, he began to establish himself in 2016. \u00abSeems like\u00a0Russo’s \u00a0<\/em>taking it back a few decades and getting down with the retro vibes in his latest drop\u00a0Say I Won’t!<\/em>\u00a0He’s testing his limits and daring everyone in this new song with a totally new attitude he’s adapted as well. We are so for this funky fresh new sound, and to be completely honest is came out of nowhere.\u00bb (Banger of the Day)
