Albare Plays Jobim, Vol. 2 (Alfi): “Albare Plays Jobim, Vol. 2 by Moroccan-born, Israeli-raised guitarist Albare (the only name given) isn’t quite what it seems. While the names of the musicians and guest artists are listed on the jacket, what is not addressed is the presence of a string orchestra, the only suggestion of which is pianist Joe Chindamo’s designation as “orchestra conductor.”… The album is, of course, a tribute to one of the most renowned Latin composers who ever lived, maestro Antonio Carlos Jobim. Those familiar with Jobim’s music should know pretty much what to expect, slow-to mid-tempo sambas and bossas with sensuous melodies that linger in the mind and heart. (https://www.allaboutjazz.com/plays-jobim-vol-2-albare-alfi-records) Backing musicians include Joe Chindamo (piano, orchestra conductor), Pablo Bincid (drums), Luisito Quintero (percussion), and Ricardo Rodriquez (bass) with guests Randy Brecker, Nestor Torres (flute) and Antonio San
Judas and the Black Messiah: Daniel Kaluuya is transcendent in this thrilling picture
The story of the killing of a young Black Panther is flawed but fiercely muscular
Film Title: Judas and the Black Messiah
Director: Shaka King
Genre: Drama
We have recently seen a lot of decent, respectable, borderline dreary historical dramas – naming no names – creeping onto our smaller screens. Good acting. Polite set-dressing. Cosy liberal politics. You know? The sort of beasts that have always interested the awards bodies.
Judas and the Black Messiah is something different. Shaka King’s take on the demise of Fred Hampton, the Illinois Black Panther leader, is not without its flaws. The film is shot in a flat style that suggests high-end television. Nobody looks much like the person they are playing. The stunt casting of nice Martin Sheen as J Edgar Hoover – “What will you do when she brings home a negro?” he asks ma

This disjointed neo-noir thriller admittedly boasts some great performances (most notably from Gary Oldman in the role of a corrupt NYPD homicide detective), stunning cinematography and a seething score by Mark Isham. If only the plot were half as great!
That said, all the ingredients are there but somehow they just don’t make for a particularly tasty concoction. This 1993 thriller starts where the story ends – that is to say with former homicide detective Jack Grimaldi (G. Oldman) now working as a bartender in the middle of the desert (presumably Arizona or New Mexico) under the name Jim Daugherty. Looking at a photo album – in particular photos of his wife Natalie (Annabella Sciorra) - in a melancholy way his thoughts are narrated before we find out via flashback how Jack Grimaldi came to be Jim Daugherty…

08/31/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) Rare On Air Vol 1. is the first in a series of 5 live compilation cd s from southern california s KCRW. Morning Becomes Eclectic hosted by Chris Douridas was possibly the greatest music radio show of it s time in all of the U.S. On any given morning from 9am to noon, live performers from the likes of Beck to Joni Mitchell to Patti Smith show up to turn in intimate and often startlingly great performances. This first edition is the best so far and features excellent songs by John Cale, Michael Penn, and Tori Amos. After Douridas left the station for a new job at Dreamworks, the morning show fell flat with new DJ Nic Harcourt. Some say i
The Vigil
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Michael Yezerski (
The Tax Collector, Blindspotting). The soundtrack releases alongside the U.S. theatrical debut of the horror film, also in theaters and On Demand tomorrow from IFC Midnight.
Synopsis:
Steeped in ancient Jewish lore and demonology,
The Vigil is a supernatural horror film set over the course of a single evening in Brooklyn’s Hasidic Borough Park neighborhood. Low on funds and having recently left his insular religious community, Yakov (Dave Davis) reluctantly accepts an offer from his former rabbi and confidante (Menashe Lustig) to take on the responsibility of an overnight “shomer,” fulfilling the Jewish practice of watching over the body of a deceased community member. Shortly after arriving at the recently departed’s dilapidated house to sit the vigil, Yakov begins to realize that something is very, very wrong.
