Album Review

Sparks fly on “Alieva and Antonenko” (on Delos), a CD of arias and duets by Verdi, Puccini, and Tchaikovsky by two acclaimed young singers.

All this week: Eric Person at the Blue Note Club, and Jazz at Lincoln Center presents the Best of Blue Note Records.

The rich texture of superlative guitar, iconic images and pure themes of freedom and open skies interweave on tracks like ‘Fall From The Grace of Love’.

At its best there are dreamy songs delivered with gorgeous vocal harmonies and echoes of Emmylou Harris.

Having generated a summer long buzz with his first two free MP3 releases, Trevor Powers aka Youth Lagoon has hastily capitalised with this album.

Take an iconic 80s film montage, whack in 70s prog rock and blend it together with woozy hip hop, RB and mid 90s Ibiza rave and you have Glass Swords.

Mister Heavenly comprise members of established US indie bands.
