World-renowned jazz guitarist, singer and recent Grammy Award-winning producer John Pizzarelli takes on the songs of Pat Metheny in his new album "Better Days Ahead". Having loved the recordings of the Pat Metheny Group since his teenage years, Pizzarelli welcomed the challenge of diving deep into Metheny's cannon of dense, moving material and deconstructing Pat Metheny's group arrangements on his seven-string guitar. "To say it was flattering to have John address these tunes is an understatement. I had no idea that it was all leading to this excellent solo guitar recording of my tunes" says Methany.

Jazz, and Java have had for all eternity only two words to say. They are stories of man and women, songs of musicians that owe and play at the same time for the dancers and for the musicians. Yes : a music of musician for musician. Franck Bergerot has united only the best artists, the most famous (Marcel Azzola), the most surprising (the voval virtuosity of Minvielle) and tender ones. LaValse a Margaux by Richard Galliano is perfect. That's rare, perfection.

Music is the air I breathe and the planet I inhabit. The only way I can pay my debt to music is by bringing it to others, with all my love. (Cathy Berberian) Cathy Berberian was born in the United States of Armenian parents. While proficient in the traditional concert repertoire, Miss Berberian was renowned for her contribution to contemporary music. Her enormous flexibility and range together with a strong sense of theater and innate musicality have been acclaimed by press and public alike, and have inspired the creation of compositions by major contemporary composers such as Berio, Bussotti, Cage, Milhaud, Maderna, Pousseur, etc. One of the highlights of her career was her musical relationship with Stravinsky who made the final version of the "Elegy for JFK" for her voice and with whom she gave concerts and made Columbia recordings of Stravinsky's vocal music.
