Perico Sambeat belongs to the jazz generation of musicians who became known in the 1980s, during the last great international emergence of the genre. In the Spain of the time, they made their way through with imagination and tenacity, and despite not being aware of it, they carried the task of normalizing the professional jazz scene in our country and strengthening the almost inexistent international links. What today seems fortunately normal, owes much to the enthusiasm of a few of those musicians, among whom Sambeat stands out.

The legendary punk band’s twelfth full-length, “Never Gonna Die” is the first full album of new songs with singer Jim Lindberg, guitarist Fletcher Dragge, drummer Byron McMackin, and bassist Randy Bradbury in over a decade. Produced by longtime Pennywise collaborator Cameron Webb (Motörhead, NOFX, Alkaline Trio), Never Gonna Die came to life in the same space where the band penned classic songs with late bassist Jason Thirsk. With their quintessential power to merge the subversive and the celebratory, Pennywise have built the album on fast-paced anthems expertly engineered to inspire radical change, personal empowerment, relentless hijinks, and reckless fast times.

Pavlos Kanellakis – George Kontogiorgos: Guitar Works (2020) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96kHz]
Pavlos Kanellakis – George Kontogiorgos: Guitar Works (2020)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:07:57 minutes | 2,20 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Digital Booklet, Front Cover | © Naxos
In these works for guitar, George Kontogiorgos explores melodic fragments from the ballades he wrote in his youth and uses them in a classical setting. These pieces are mostly tonal and deeply communicative – Sea Vespers evokes lazy days by the sea, while the dance-like Cansonata is a songful duo for guitar and cello. Kaleidoscope often refers to the musical style of the 1960s and1970s when the guitar was the dominant instrument in pop and rock music, whereas Elegy1980 and Emotions draw out darker and more dramatic musical landscapes. Having worked closely with Kontogiorgos, these performances by Pavlos Kanellakis are both idiomatic and definitive.
