One of the great musical triumphs of 2013 was unquestionably Steve Hackett’s stellar performance at the Royal Albert Hall in October. This was a remarkable night, when the guitarist didn’t so much revisit his Genesis roots, as reimagine them, to use a well-known Hollywood term. While the night was dubbed Genesis Revisited, what was really impressive was the joyous manner in which he and his carefully chosen band immersed themselves in the flow and timbre of some of the most iconic songs of all time, thereby creating an experience that brought a lifetime’s achievement for Hackett into bold focus for the 21st Century. “When it comes to choosing the songs from the Genesis catalogue,” says Hackett. “I obviously have ideas of my own of what we should do. But I do listen to the fans, and also the other members of the band. It is difficult to get the right balance between playing the songs the way they were first performed, and adding in something extra. As far as I’m concerned, what matters is the authenticity of what you are doing, not whether you play all the same notes in the same order.

.
The number 1 sax player in smooth urban jazz in his first ever full length DVD, shot with 5 cameras at the Harborfront Centre Theatre in Toronto this year. Like any musician, saxophonist Kim Waters performing live and on record are two different people. His records are smooth-jazz gems, polished to perfection and chock full of hooks. Live, Waters’ style is to play a quick snippet of a top hit and go off into improv-land, showing his true jazz chops. Waters’ first DVD is a cross between the two situations: It’s one in a continuing series by Shanachie filmed live in the studio, with no audience, at Harbourfront Centre Theatre in Toronto. You’ll see Waters playing superbly in front of bandmates James Waters Jr. on bass, Gregory Grainger on drums and Allen Smith on keys. You’ll hear him extend out the jams on two of his biggest hits, “The Ride” and “Waterfall,” and understand why the ladies love him as he plays his gorgeous ballad “All I Wanna Do (Is Please You).” And you’ll also see him play the hell out of his funky little trademark curved sopranino saxophone.

TANGERINE DREAM entered the stage of the beautiful big Coliseum theatre in the middle of Lisbon, Portugal's capital. After a very strange live cello quartet performance followed by a suddenly wiped out opening with Linda playing an outstanding grand piano solo, you'll hear what TD stands for after more than four decades: the style, the sound, the compositions. Here once more you can witness why this band is original and incomparable just 'in it' for the art of timeless music. Set yourself free from your daily routines and join for more than a three hours travel to your landscapes of imagination. By the way, those who joined the Zeitgeist Concert in the London Royal Albert Hall in April 2010 will be happy to get at least a video from the Lisbon show as it was nearly the same show except from three tracks which were only performed in Lisbon (Therefore the band had to miss out the second Encore which you had in London...) So enjoy this unusual sonic and visual testimony of time!

Tangerine Dream are German-based purveyors of imaginative electronic music. There have been numerous line-ups since the band's formation in September 1967, although Edgar Froese has remained at the head of affairs throughout. Tangerine Dream's impressive live reputation dates back to the early 70's. Their shows tended to be completely improvised. From these live improvisations came several of the bands early successful albums including "Phaedra", "Zeit" and "Ricochet". The 35th anniversary concert was a concert that found the band celebrating the recording of the landmark album Phaedra. The concert which was filmed on the 11th of June 2005 was performed in front of a sell out audience and featured material from Phaedra alongside newer more recent material. The band which features Thorsten Quaeschning, Linda Spa, Jerome Froese and Iris Camaa were filmed and recorded for this landmark concert and perform many pieces from the bands lengthy career including Phaedra '05, Rubycon Pt.1, Force Majeure, Logos and a cover of the Jimi Hendrix classic Purple Haze.
The Bonus DVD (DVD2) has interviews with all the members of the band and some extras like the soundcheck performance, fans interviews, and a photograph slideshow of the concert. This 35th Phaedra Anniversary Concert is a must for every fan of TANGERINE DREAM. It is a good "sampler" of all TANGERINE DREAM music.

Here’s a vintage Berlin School Synthesizer jam for you - Tangerine Dream, Live At Coventry Cathedral 1975 : In December 1974 Tangerine Dream were invited to play in the grand setting of Rheims Cathedral, a move certainly seen at the time as groundbreaking. Because of this, they were then invited to perform in the cathedrals of York, Liverpool and Coventry. The tour attracted unprecedented coverage in the media, especially at Coventry Cathedral, an iconic building rising like a Phoenix on the ruins of the old cathedral bombed to bits by the Germans in 1940 (Tangerine Dream is, after all, a German band) as a celebration of peace and reconciliation, as well as a lasting showcase for Great Contemporary Art.

In the 1970s and 80’s, a fusion in jazz music occurred giving birth to a new, more electrified and diverse genre called jazz-funk. Some notable pioneers in this genre were: The Crusaders, Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, Alphonse Mouzon, Chick Corea, Lee Ritenour, Azymuth, Eumir Deodato, Jeff Lorber, Seawind, and Koinonia. Though less known in the United States, Koinonia established themselves as a huge sensation in Scandinavia and Western Europe, performing to sell-out crowds from 1982 to 1991 in Norway, Denmark, Holland, Sweden, Their Latin-infused rhythms and upbeat melodies gave them a distinct and cultured sound. Taken from a Greek word used in the Bible to mean “intimate fellowship” Koinonia was notably one of the first Christian, though primarily instrumental, jazz bands. The original members of the band, which formed in 1980, were: (leader) classically trained guitarist, Abraham Laboriel on electric bass guitar, child-prodigy drummer Bill Maxwell, Dean Parks on guitar, Alex Acuña on percussion and drums, John Phillips on woodwinds, Hadley Hockensmith on guitar, and Harlan Rogers on keyboards. In 1981 the saxophone/clarinet & flute virtuoso Justo Almario
