Frank Zappa - 1979 - Orchestral Favorites (40th Anniversary) (2019)
Frank Zappa - 1979 - Orchestral Favorites (40th Anniversary) (2019) @320
Although Orchestral Favorites was not released as Zappa originally planned it, it works well as an album. The 40th Anniversary Edition presents the entire album as released but adds a wealth of bonus material. Disc 1 is simply the album, as released, with an addition take of "Strictly Genteel" with overdubs by Tommy Mars (showing that Zappa kept tinkering with material even after it had been released). Discs 2 and 3 are the real bonus though. The album was recorded with no audience in Royce Hall, but the bonus material is a full show in front of an audience. Here, we really get to see the full range of Zappa's talents. He wrote all the music and did new arrangements for this ensemble. He hired and rehearsed all the players. During the show, he acted as emcee, played live guitar, conducted, and even did some mixing. It's really interesting to hear him teach the band "Black Napkins" during the show (the group had never played or rehearsed it together). It's a simple two-chord vamp, but he gives all the different parts of the ensemble different voicings right off the top of his head. The performances are great, of course, and the material from the show that didn't end up on the original album is excellent. Many of these pieces were written as ballets and Zappa's descriptions of the narratives are really funny. Terry Bozzio's excellent liner notes simply add to a great presentation. If you liked the original release of this album, you're sure to enjoy the 40th Anniversary Edition. (AllMusic)

2022 - Ana Moura - Casa Guilhermina
2022 - Ana Moura - Casa Guilhermina (Flac)
The fado star is reinventing the ‘Portuguese blues’ again, this time mixing its emotional intensity with kizomba, samba and trap
Ana Moura is not a breaking artist by any stretch, but she continues to break with tradition. She’s one of Portugal’s biggest stars, a fado singer (or fadista) who has sold millions of records and is about to release her seventh album. She already did for fado what Rosalía did for flamenco as far back as 2012 – without hopping on a motorbike or the dance routines, mind – when she worked with Joni Mitchell producer Larry Klein and Prince on Desfado, thus revitalising fado for her generation. But now Moura is reinventing again, making alt.fado that is intriguing, layered and at home in the global-pop sphere while remaining distinct.
Casa Guilhermina, out now, is largely inspired by the Lisbon scene known as novo fado (new fado). At club nights and parties, local DJs and producers mix up traditional guitarra and samples from old fado classics with the music of the Afro-Lusophone diaspora, such as semba, Cape Verdean morna and the 80s electronic-geared kizomba, finding links with Afrobeats, Brazilian genres such as samba and the contemporary skitter of US trap.
Moura’s mother is Angolan, her father Portuguese, and this album is a bridge. Her robust, emotionally intense vocals (they don’t call fado the Portuguese blues for nothing) entwine with African rhythms and the contemporary production of novo fado up-and-comers Pedro Mafama and Pedro da Linha – a multicultural mix that suggests musical freedom. “It’s points of connection that interest me,” she has said, and her new music certainly has plenty to lock on to.
