"Prolific drummer/composer Dave King is well known for his propulsive work in a number of different bands. From The Bad Plus to Happy Apple to Halloween, Alaska, each group has its own sound and approach, but all are approached in a steadfast manner. These groups are all serious units of focused players who are completely dialed in, honing a solid band sound and identity. It is King s attraction to a strong group concept that led to his creation of his Trucking Company band and his increasing focus...

“Ray Davies travelled to Los Angeles in April 1969, to negotiate an end to the American Federation of Musicians' ban on The Kinks from performing in the US. The group's management quickly made plans for a North American tour, to help restore their standing in the states. Before their return, the band recorded their next album, Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire). As with the group's previous two records, Arthur was grounded in characteristically English lyrical and musical hooks. A...

Long time Waysiders will remember us carrying (and selling!) a lot of these back when it was originally released on lp-only in 1987. It was a really good one then and it's still a really good one now.

Synthesist Bernd Kistenmacher seemingly came out of nowhere in 1986 with his first album, Head-Visions, a fine 70s-style album of Berlin-style electronic music that was basically the best thing that Klaus Schulze never made.

This was released one year later and was his nearly as excellent...

Excellent jazz album with definite Latin influences, but arranged and put together in an intriguing and occasionally avant-garde way. This is most decidedly NOT your parent's mambo album! A fantastic band of players too: Ben Monder, Miguel Zenon...

The fifth album by this superb, modern jazz ensemble, a band with definite Latin influences, but arranged and put together in an intriguing and avant-garde way. This is most decidedly NOT your parent's mambo album! A fantastic band of players too: Ben Monder, Miguel Zenon, Sandro Tomasi, Chris Cheek, Bill McHenry, Jeff Ballard and others! If you are any kind of a jazz fan, I feel quite safe in personally recommending this!
