Jimmy Smith boasts an incredible 90-minute concert from 1969 filmed in Paris. Working in his classic trio format (with longtime guitarist Eddie McFadden and drummer Charlie Crosby), Jimmy shows why he is still the uncontested king of the jazz organ. Highlights include blues jams ‘Got My Mojo Working’ and ‘Sonnymoon For Two,’ the classic ballads ‘Alfie’ and ‘Satin Doll,’ as well as a blinding 23-minute version of his showcase number ‘The Sermon.’ – Amazon

After a 3-year gap since their last album, SF-based indie-folk group Vetiver released their new LP Complete Strangers, including this track titled “Confiding”. Lead singer/songwriter Andy Cabic remarked about the album’s songs:
“They share things in common but come from different places, different times… As with many of Vetiver’s better moments, sunshine is only a chord away from melancholy. An introspective lyric underlies an extroverted chorus. Subtlety tries to be outgoing, loneliness familiar, in an effort to connect the dots of life’s ellipsis.” –Andy Cabic of Vetiver
“This film took 300,000 photos, riots, wildfires, paintings in abandoned houses, two years and zero graphics to make. It changed my entire life. Circle of Abstract Ritual began as an exploration of the idea that creation and destruction might be the same thing.” www.jeff-frost.com
