   One classic album added today:

COLOSSEUM ~ LIVE (EXPANDED EDITION)

4th and last album (recorded 1971) by this fabulous band, recorded only a few months before they disbanded. Released originally as a double album (with innovative packaging), it now fits on a single CD. Colosseum were always considered best when playing live and this album ranks among the best live performances ever captured on record and often compared to the intensity and virtuosity of mighty "Live At Leeds" by the Who. The tunes are widely stretched, giving all the players ample opportunity to fly and shine. Dave Clempson plays some of the best blues guitar ever, Dick Heckstall-Smith blows the horns like there's no tomorrow, Dave Greenslade takes the keyboards places they never were supposed to be, Mark Clarke provides a super solid bass lines to glue everything together, the leader John Hiseman storms the drums with no mercy and Chris Farlowe gives a vocal performance of his life. The music flows and soars straight to your heart! The expanded edition adds a never previously
 available track from the concert.

	An Israeli Jazz album added today: SARID, DANIEL ~ PEARLS OF PERIL Pianist Daniel Sarid is one of the most important representatives of the Israeli Free Jazz scene, which developed significantly since the 1980's, when musicians like the renowned pianist and composer Slava Ganelin immigrated to Israel and started performing and teaching music here. The ensembles led by clarinetist Harold Rubin were also an excellent breeding ground for many young Israeli musicians, including Daniel Sarid, who played and recorded with Rubin. This album, recorded in 2000, is Daniel's first recording as a leader. It includes 15 relatively short composed pieces, performed by Sarid and drummer Hagai Fershtman. On five pieces saxophonist Ori Kaplan joins the duo. This intimate setting is an ideal platform for the musician to express their abilities and the phenomenal interplay between them. Highly recommended ear-opener to connoisseurs of the genre. ===================================== The Jazzis Web Shop 5th Anniversary Sale was extended till August 31, 2006. 10 % discount on EVERYTHING! ===================================== Have Fun!

	The last addition for August is another Israeli Jazz album: TSAHAR / KAPLAN / SARID ~ CRIES OF DISILLUSION Assif Tsahar (tenor sax and bass clarinet), Ori Kaplan (alto sax) and Daniel Sarid (piano) are typical representatives of the contemporary Israeli Jazz scene. They all left Israeli for the US in the late 1980's to study and then perform and gain experience on the vibrant New York scene. Upon their return to Israel a decade later, they were already seasoned musicians. They integrated into the local scene, formed ensembles and started to record albums. This album, recorded 1999, puts them together in one ensemble for the first time. Each of them contributes compositions (all the music is original) and of course plays on the album, which was recorded in a quintet setting with Israeli bass player Oded Goldshmidt and US drummer Bob Mayer. The music is great modern jazz, with some free elements, but mostly "conventional" enough to be accessible to most modern jazz listeners. Both the compositions and the performances are top notch and this is a valuable document of the local Israeli Jazz scene. ==================================== The Jazzis Web Shop 5th Anniversary Sale ends on August 31, 2006.
