The Musica Nuda duo was born in 2003, in a club in Tuscany. The singer Petra Magoni, born July 28, 1972 in Pisa, comes from the world of lyrical art and early music that had become famous in pop, jazz, rap or electro, and was to give a singing tour with a guitarist in the club. The latter, who got sick of the old concert, is replaced by contrabassist and composer Ferruccio Spinetti of the Avion Travel group. Musica Nuda then quickly enters the studio to record the CD "Musica Nuda" around a repertoire of eclectic covers: Lennon / McCartney ("Blackbird", "Imagine"), Sting ("Roxane"), Fekaris / Perren / Gaynor ( "I Will Survive"), Monteverdi ("Voglio di vita uscir", "Maledetto sia the aspetto"). The record is greeted by the critic Michel Contat on the magazine Télérama. Their success on stage, during a Live at Fip in the first part of Stefano di Battista, is such that he leads them on a grand tour through France and Italy. he second discographic part, "Musica Nuda 2", has two discs. The first one includes the original compositions "Io sono metà" and "Le due corde vocali", as well as covers of Brel ("Do not leave me"), Nougaro ("La Vie en Noir"), Gainsbourg ("Couleur Coffee "), Beatles (" Come Together ") or Madonna (" Like a Virgin "). After a DVD "Live in Paris" (2006) and a "Live à Fip" (2007), Musica Nuda released "55/21" this time proposing their Italian version, with Stefano Bollani, of "The Song of the Old Lovers "by Jacques Brel," While My Guitar Gently Weeps "by The Beatles," Crocodaïl "with Jacques Higelin, or" It Had Better Be Tonight "by Henry Mancini with Sanseverino.

Allan Holdsworth has long been considered a brilliant guitarist who, although most of his career has been spent playing rock, has always had a strong interest in jazz and playing his instrument like a keyboard. He teams up with his longtime musical partner pianist-keyboardist Gordon Beck on the quartet date The Things You See/Sunbird, performing the seven songs originally released as The Things You See plus four other selections. Beck is actually featured at least as much as Holdsworth, some of the briefer selections are mere throwaways that end before they seem to get going, and the overall music is not as memorable as one would hope. Still there are some bright moments, close interplay, and a few sparks felt along the way. It isn't a classic but this release should interest Holdsworth fans who wish to hear him in a different context than usual. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-things-you-see-sunbird-mw0001884531

Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen - Uncharted Land

A virtuoso who mostly played in bop-oriented settings, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen was in great demand since he was a teenager. One of many superb European bassists to emerge during the 1960s, Pedersen originally studied piano before starting to play bass with Danish groups when he was 14. He had to reluctantly turn down Count Basie's offer to join his orchestra when he was just 17, but worked steadily as the house bassist at the Club Montmartre and as a member of the Danish Radio Orchestra. Whenever American jazzmen passed through Scandinavia, they asked for Pedersen; during the 1960s he played with Sonny Rollins, Bill Evans, Roland Kirk, Dexter Gordon, Bud Powell, and even Albert Ayler (although the latter's session was not too successful). In the 1970s, Pedersen was featured in a duo with Kenny Drew. Starting in the mid-'70s, he was an occasional member of the Oscar Peterson Trio and he recorded several dates as a leader for SteepleChase. Pedersen also recorded in many different settings for Pablo Records during the era. He remained very active until his sudden death in April 2005. He was 58. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/artist/niels-henning-%C3rsted-pedersen-mn0000404907/biography

It’s hard to believe that ’Barnsley nightingale’ Kate Rusby has been making music for 20 years now. As with Spiers & Boden’s The Works, this appropriately titled record sees the singer revisiting some classic songs from her canon, and rerecording them with a highly impressive line-up of guest musicians. The resulting album illustrates Rusby’s charming musical history perfectly, while the guestlist shows that during her two decades in the business, she has amassed some seriously talented fans and friends. The album begins with Awkward Annie, perhaps Rusby’s calling card. Its playful, animal-themed lyrics suit her uplifting, smiley singing voice. Chris Thile adds gentle backing vocals and mandolin, augmenting the song while not imposing himself on it.It seems a while since Rusby recorded traditional songs, and 20 serves as a reminder of her considerable ability in this field. Unquiet Grave is solemn and wistful, while Annan Waters, to which Bob Fox lends his voice, is a quite different proposition to those familiar with Nic Jones’ version harmonies, pipes and strings lending it a calmer, more mournful air. Jones is one of many impressive collaborators on an album many folkies will enjoy playing ’guess the guest’ to - his backing vocals on the tender The Lark hit the mark perfectly. Elsewhere, Jim Causley and Sarah Jarosz deserve particular praise for their beautifully balanced vocals, on I Courted a Sailor and Planets respectively, while Dick Gaughan and Mary Chapin Carpenter also make predictably impressive contributions. Paul Weller is arguably the most famous guest on 20, singing alongside Rusby on the album’s only new song, Sun Grazers. Strangely, his pained delivery seems to fight against, rather than work with, Rusby’s voice, resulting in an unusually grating track. As her fans will know by now, the Grimethorpe Colliery Band complement Rusby beautifully. 

Their previous work together has evidently informed a musical understanding, and Underneath the Stars is lifted to a moving, melancholy level by the band’s evocative brass arrangement. The album does sometimes become trapped in pleasant-but-uninspired territory, and some will find the arrangements at times samey and safe. The Good Man, for example, is a little on the twee side, while a languorous version of the Elfin Knight rattles along enjoyably enough without really pulling the listener into the story. But perhaps this is forgivable on a 20-track double album. And it is compensated for, particularly on the CDs’ final tracks. Disc two’s closer, Bring Me a Boat, is a peaceful, warm way to end, but the first CD’s finale, The Bitter Boy, is absolutely lovely, featuring a lush-yet-tasteful string arrangement, achingly sad lyrics and sensitive vocals from Rusby’s husband, Damian O’Kane. As an introduction to Rusby, 20 is perfect, while the new collaborations and arrangements offer her loyal fans plenty more to enjoy. Perhaps only the diehards will love every track, but there’s certainly at least something for everyone here. http://brightyoungfolk.com/records/20-kate-rusby
