Crowded House is back–the lineup Neil Finn, Nick Seymour Mark Hart, and Matt Sherrod. Great hooks, strong drummer, melodious ballads, and deeper content.
It has been fourteen years since we last heard from them, but Time On Earth is worth the wait. The album is melancholy, understandable with the passing of Paul Hester in 2005, yet it is “Thoughtful, warm, and endlessly hummable even in its moodiest moments, Time On Earth is a sweet epitaph.” –says Liam Gowing in his review for The Onion (A.V. Club)
Nobody Wants To is imbued with senstive harmony–spots of crying guitar and nice acoustic guitar. Don’t Stop Now is pulsed by solid drumming and the song has a great building of emotion effect. Silent House rocks with fuzz guitar and harmony and musical impact.
English Trees…well, just listen to it and you’ll hear the sound of the music of a gondola ride and The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour and Sgt. Peppers.
She Called Up is more like the old Crowded House in its sound.
This album is an expression of mourning for the death of Paul Hester by his good friend Neil Finn, that said, it is a great musical accomplishment and what is creativity about if the artist can’t express his feelings in the tradition of the Romantic Poets, who weren’t afraid of the sombre emotions.

The Sea Dragons are the brain child of Darryl Thurston–his creativity and musical influences power the band’s sound. He grew up listening to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Three Dog Night and other 60’s artist. His Aunt was a backup singer and he met many musicians through her and she clued him in concerning new music.
Thurston was born in Philadelphia. He started playing drums at age nine and guitar at 14. He is also a singer and songwriter. A few years later, he moved to Tennessee, which is a land of music itself, where he began playing in cover bands, emulating Jimmy Page and David Gilmour. Then he moved to New York, to sharpen his musical edge in another, different music scene.
There he and his band, Band of Thieves, played the important clubs like Limelight and Cat Club. His other musical milestones range from being on the cover of “Metal Studs,” to working as a sessions artist for influential studios, so that his work has been heard on HBO, Showtime, Cine-max, and ESPN.
The other members of The Sea Dragons are Rob Ritchie on bass and Justin Greville on drums.
Thurston is also a video editor, painter, and amateur astronomer. “Power Trip” which he edited won an award.
Fall Into You is an acoustic based song with a good backbeat. Drown is reminiscent of a Beatles sitar opening, quickly going to a more power driven style, with metal guitar hero moments, rockin’ drums, and good harmony. Stop Draggin’ Me Down has some nice echo twangy guitar licks, followed by harder guitar, bass, and drums, with good vocals. Come September is a mid-sixties like song in lyrics and sound. It is a wonderful, rocky, harmonized song with fuzz guitar.
So listen to this group and enjoy.

The base of his music is jazz, but Bobby Previte composes and plays in the musical hemispheres. He attended the University of Buffalo earning a B.A. (1973) in music.
Previte hit the jazz scene in New York in 1979, soon hooking up with many musicians including John Zorn, Wayne Horvitz, and Elliott Sharp. He has played at music festivals in London, Paris, Istanbul, Rio, Tokyo, Sydney, Copenhagen and Rome.
Bobby has received many grants including two from the New York Foundation for the Arts and three from the National Endowment for the Arts, all for composition. Previte has been a fellow at the MacDowell Colony five times. Jazziz Magazine dubbed him as one of “150 Who Moved Jazz.”
Previte was born July 16, 1959 In Naigrara Fall, NY. While still a kid he thought there was a unique night sound.
Previte told Clare O’Shea, writing for UBToday in the Spring/Summer 2004 issue that “Every time I write something, I’m inspired by that,” and he said “You can’t get out of your own skin.” He spoke of the roar that Niagara Falls made, which could be heard at night, located thirty blocks away from his childhood home.
By 2004 he had at least two dozen albums of his own to his credit and had been a contributer to about 60 other releases. He’s been in many rock and jazz bands: The Coalition of the Willing, Elliot Sharp’s Carbon, Wayne Horvitz’s President, his own fusionist quartet, which sometimes featured the two guitarists rumbling it out and others.
A quote from Peter Watrous explains.
“Looping and fierce metallic melodies snarled away at each other, only to smooth out into a country-styled riff, then into rock powerchords.” Watrous heard the guitar battle at a concert at the Knitting Factory in NY.
The Penguin Musician’s Guide says: “Bobby Previte is in many ways the archetypal 21st Century Jazz Musician: open-eared, adventurous, uncategorizable, technically flawless.”
Other interesting facts:
He is included in the Oxford “Dictionary of Jazz,”
The Penguin “Jazz, the Rough Guide”
“Jazz, The First Century,”
Oxford’s “History of Jazz,”
Schimer’s “Jazz-The Essential Album Guide”,
the “All Music Guide to Jazz,”
Francis Davis has written about Previte in “Bebop and Nothingness”
and Stuart Nicholson in “Jazz-The Modern Resurgence.”
My favorite compostion so far is The Ministry Of Truth.

Presenting, Beverly Jo Scott originally from Bay Minette, AL with Texas accent (lived in Texas of course) and the most soulful female voice, in the Janis Joplin tradition since Janis…she is worth your musical ear checking her out.
She has lived in Brussells for most of her adult life, she left the States on a whim with a friend and found a new home and learned French and sings some of her songs in French. The emotional power in her voice and her writing has made her a favorite performer in Europe.
Beverly has worked as a studio artist, in clubs, and has rerleased her own singles and albums. In concert she is extremely energetic.
She has recorded with Dani Klein on Vaya Con Dios and she had a hit single with”C’est Extra” by Frenchman Leo Ferré in 1990.
You can hear her music from time to time on Radio Avalon.
