JAZZ Another foray into the fusion of Coltrane-influenced jazz with a vibrant African vibe that saxophonist Alan Skidmore has previously explored with Ubizo, but with a stronger slant toward the world music pole than on their two earlier discs. The…
The Clash - Live Revolution Rock (SongBMG) Apparently Joe Strummer found the long-lost tapes of this 1982 concert while moving house. The punk rockers shake up New York’s Shea Stadium with hits including ‘London Calling’ and ‘Rock the Casbah’. Kris…
INDIE Divorce is a bitch. But instead of languishing in his underpants, all beardy and beer-soaked following a much publicised split from his wife, Ben Folds jumped straight back into the studio and has come up with these 12 energy-packed tracks for…
