Allmusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Enarre
''Enarre'' is an album by drummer Paul Murphy. It was recorded in June 2001 at Bias Studio in Virginia, and was released by Cadence Jazz Records in 2002. On the album, Murphy is joined by cellist Kash Killion and pianist Joel Futterman. Reception In a review for AllMusic, Glenn Astarita wrote: "the band moves forward with the power of a rumbling freight train here.... The band's synergistic approach consists of massive sheets of sound and sweeping undercurrents, as the musicians navigate a plethora of peaks, valleys, and swirling cadenzas... they spur each other through heated moments to complement a few sanguine interludes. Murphy shines radiantly thanks to his relentless attack, awash with tumbling, polyrhythmic-type fills and stinging press rolls. The group engages a modus operandi that is founded upon maddening flurries and verbose exchanges. And despite the rather serious implications, this is a fun-filled affair. Recommended."

Progressive Records
Progressive Records is an American jazz record company and label owned by the Jazzology group. It produces reissues and compilations of musicians such as Sonny Stitt, Eddie Barefield, George Masso, and Eddie Miller. History Progressive Records was founded by Gus Statiras in New York in 1950. When the business declined, Savoy bought and reissued much of the label's catalog, then sold it to Prestige with backing from Bainbridge, a Japanese record company. Progressive had a revival in the late 1970s when Statiras bought the label back from Fantasy, which by then had absorbed Prestige, which continued into the 1980s. Progressive's second era included recordings by Buddy DeFranco, Scott Hamilton, J. R. Monterose, and Al Haig. In the 1980s, Progressive was acquired by George Buck and his Jazzology group and is owned by the George H. Buck Jr. Jazz Foundation.
