Seeing Black Sabbath live is like standing at the gates of a sonic apocalypse, it isn't just a concert, it's a heavy, hypnotic ritual. You feel it in your chest, your bones, your soul. The riffs, the volume, the darkness - overwhelming in the best way. Sabbath don't rush. Their music has weight. Songs like "War Pigs," "Paranoid," and "Black Sabbath" weren't about speed - they were about dread, power, and atmosphere. When Tony Iommi dropped those down tuned, doom-laden riffs, you could feel the whole venue shift. It was primal. You didn't just hear it - you absorbed it. Live Icons brings you a selection of live radio broadcasts to relive the experience again and again.

Seeing Joni Mitchell perform live was unlike any other concert experience - it was intimate, introspective, and emotionally profound. Whether in a small folk club, a theater, or later, on larger stages, the atmosphere she created was always deeply personal and hauntingly beautiful. She didn't "perform" in the showbiz sense. She shared - poems, stories, diary entries set to music. It wasn't about spectacle. It was about truth. To see Joni Mitchell live was to sit in the presence of an artist painting with sound. It was raw but refined, tender but defiant. She offered no easy answers - only beauty, complexity, and brutal honesty. You didn't leave humming a hook; you left thinking about your entire life. Live Icons presents a selection of live radio broadcasts highlighting Joni's presence and ability as a defining artist.

Recorded at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle оn October 25, 1992.

This publication completes the entire oeuvre of cello sonatas composed and published in London by Emanuel Siprutini between 1756 and 1774 as Op.I, III, V, VI and VII. Born in Holland or Portugal into the Jewish family of Shiprut, he came to England following the "Jewish naturalization act" established in 1753 by King George II of England, settling in London as a wine merchant, virtuoso cellist and cello teacher. Little information about him comes from the letters of Leopold Mozart, who met him in London in 1764 during his stay in England with his prodigious son, still a child. John Crosdill, the most famous English cellist of the eighteenth century, was Siprutini's student until his debut as a concert performer.

Scottish hard rockers Nazareth dominated the airwaves in the late '70s with the biting rock anthem "Hair of the Dog" and the enduring proto-power ballad "Love Hurts." Emerging in 1971, the band found mainstream success in 1975 with the release of their platinum-selling fifth album, Hair of the Dog. Despite numerous lineup changes, the group remained prolific and popular in Europe throughout the '80s and '90s, and continued to tour and record into the 2000s, with bassist and co-founder Pete Agnew serving as the sole constant member. In 2018, Nazareth celebrated its 50th Anniversary with the release of Tattooed on My Brain. Surviving the Law, the band's 25th studio album, appeared in 2022. Formed in Dunfermline in 1968, Nazareth's initial lineup featured vocalist Dan McCafferty, guitarist Manny Charlton, bassist Pete Agnew, and drummer Darrell Sweet.

There are many reasons why Gloria Gaynor is synonymous with "I Will Survive." The 1978 single topped Billboard's disco and pop charts, went platinum, and won Best Disco Recording the only year the Grammys recognized the subgenre. A belter if there ever was one, it set the standard by which all subsequent perseverance anthems have been measured. Its eternal appeal has been recognized by the Grammy Hall of Fame and the National Recording Registry. The inextricable links, however, obscure the depth and range of Gaynor's career.

Welsh singer Shirley Bassey is arguably best known internationally for her poised, belting renditions of the themes to the cinematic James Bond series, with Goldfinger in 1964, 1971's Diamonds Are Forever, and 1979's Moonraker. Bassey earned the distinction as one of the most enduring, popular vocalists in Great Britain during the latter half of the 20th century. Known as "Bassey the Belter" and also the "Tigress of Tiger Bay," her early career in touring shows and cabaret brought her a recording contract with Philips by the late 1950s. After reaching the top of the British charts in 1959 with "As I Love You" and, later, "Reach for the Stars/Climb Every Mountain," Bassey's voice, at once brassy and seductive, conveyed the James Bond myth perfectly; the song "Goldfinger" also became a Top Ten hit in the States. Appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 2000, she recorded well into her eighties, releasing I Owe It All to You in 2020. It became her first album in 50 years to reach the U.K. Top Five. Further, Bassey became the first female artist to chart Top 40 on the U.K. Albums Chart in seven consecutive decades. In 2025, Cherry Red released the multi-disc retrospective Dame Shirley Bassey: The Singer - Classic and Undiscovered Gems from the EMI/UA Years 1962-1979.

Al Stewart was born on September 5, 1945 in Greenock, a small town west of Glasgow. Music became the center of his life at an early age. He bought his first guitar from future Police guitarist Andy Summers, and King Crimson founder Robert Fripp gave him guitar lessons. In 1967 Al released his first album "Bedsitter Images" on CBS. With his fifth long player "Past, Present & Future" the American market discovered the Scottish bard. Stewart combined historical and contemporary events in his lyrics, enriching them with quotations from film and literature. His references to Nostradamus caused a stir. Star producer Alan Parsons (Pink Floyd, Steve Harley…) took over Al Stewart's studio direction and produced with him the million-selling albums "Modern Times", "Year Of The Cat" and "Time Passages" between 1975 and 1978.

In the summer of 1999, Steps Ahead founder/vibraphonist Mike Mainieri joined Eliane Elias, Bob Berg, Marc Johnson and Peter Erskine for a reunion tour of Europe. They recorded several of those shows but Mainieri didn’t listen to the tapes for two years. He eventually did, and the result is the two-CD set Holding Together (N.Y.C.). The musicians perform the tunes with great sensitivity to one another, both as an ensemble and in solo spotlights. “Uncle Bob” just swings along, while Mainieri’s gliding vibes impart an almost magical quality to a lovely version of Ellington’s “In a Sentimental Mood,” and “The Time Is Now” is a 22-minute-plus opus that gives everyone a chance to shine. There are too many high points on this solid set to mention, but it should be noted that Berg’s playing is vigorous and inventive throughout and provides a poignant reminder of the profound loss the jazz world suffered when he was killed in a car accident.
