MIL (MOVEINLIGHT) RECORDS Robert Monteleone sent out his first CD "Wake Up Call "recorded with his Jazz band Symposium in 1994. The group was formed in 1988 and has evolved into a dynamic, diverse rhythmic and harmonic structured band, crossing many lines of today's music genres. Robert released his debut Smooth Jazz CD 'JUST HAVIN' FUN' maintaining the beautiful melodic quality which is core in all of his compositions.

Music from these CDs has been added to classic female Blues artist lists on radio stations throughout the world. In 2006, BACK IN BLUESVILLE was awarded BEST SELF-PRODUCED CD at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee. In 2007, Roxy was presented with the prestigious ARTIST OF THE YEAR award by the Westchester Arts Council, New York. Media recognition over the years has been extensive, from the syndicated radio program, PORTRAITS IN BLUE, to the most recent cover story and 6-page interview in the international magazine, BLUES ROCKS THE WORLD. Roxy's music continues to be heard regularly on MUSIC CHOICE, DIRECT TV, CLEAR CHANNEL and hundreds of radio stations, web and podcasts worldwide.

You can see live performance videos of Roxy and the band on YouTube Reviews of Roxy's new CD ''IN MY SWEET TIME'' are all glowing! IN MY SWEET TIME ROOTSVILLE, BELGIUM Review by MVS IN MY SWEET TIME is the third release on Roxy's label, BluePerry Hill Records, following NY BLUES QUEEN and BACK IN BLUESVILLE. Her first Blues release, HI HEEL BLUES, was on Monad Records. All four are great offerings, but for me, IN MY SWEET TIME stands out as the best. It's a ''showstopper'' of a disc by a Blues woman who manages well all related genres and Blues styles as a vocalist, composer and producer. All the numbers are consistently well supported by her selection of highly competent musicians, some of which are credited as co-writers on six of the songs. IN MY SWEET TIME is a Blues triumph from the Big Apple (NYC), which is not known for an abundance of Blues artist's offerings. But in fact, this CD is, without a doubt, a triumph coming from any city (and needs to be rewarded)! From the first cut, this CD is a knockout! The splendid piano intro of Mike Ventimiglia on ''Bed of Blues'', sets the mood, reminiscent of the piano stylings that supported the vocals of classic female artists of bygone eras. This sound may be nostalgic, but it undoubtedly translates into the contemporary. Not to be overlooked on this album, is the diversified performances of guitarist, Chris Vitarello. An example of his versatility is particularly reflected on the song ''Easy For You.'' It begins as a rhythm & blues number, but transforms into a Latin groove midway, where Vitarello (guitar) and Perry (harp) trade licks. It then returns to an R&B breakdown with the vocal take of an unwrapped soul. Roxy's Blues harp and voice are a powerful combination throughout. Roxy's adept use of varied styles, Blues, R&B, Jump, Swing, Country, Jazz, Funk, Latin, Delta, Rock and even Rockabilly, result in the highest level of music and add personality to her songs on this self-produced album. Roxy's production choices reflect this beautifully. In her jump /swing song, "Roadmaster," she pays tribute to the Andrews Sisters' harmonies on her background vocals . Roxy interprets The Hank Williams Sr. classic, ''I'm. So Lonesome I Could Cry,'' with a lot of soul on top of a pure country approach to the song - And it works perfectly. Guitarist, Matt Rae's Telecaster work so skillfully replicates the pedal steel sound that he just may stand up and be counted as the New Danny Gattin. For me, all twelve songs compete with each other for the 'best' position. If I had to pick one song to highlight above the rest it would be a difficult task. I would say they are all good, with a small preference for the traditional Blues numbers, like the title song, ''IN MY SWEET TIME'' (Hiro Suzuki /guitar), which pays tribute to the gospel style, and ''LET ME HAVE MY REST'' for it's beautifully executed resophonic Dobro (Matt Baxter), and of course, Roxy's vocal and harp, present an authentic Delta sound. The clincher, "NOT BAD ENOUGH," puts both our feet back in the twenties era with it's totally nostalgic take. Roxy sang and produced it replicating the 78 sound with the crackling needle-on-disc effect. You can just envision the logo of the little dog listening at the big horn speaker to ''His Master's Voice'' on the old Victrola. Nobody is going to be able to tear this CD from my hands. MVS | Rootsville Roxy Perry "in my sweet time" | Blueberry Publishing 3868 BLUESSOURCE.COM Roxy Perry has been dubbed as the New York Queen of the Blues but her vision is wide-ranging on this new CD as she works through twelve cuts of blues, jazz, R&B, country and rock overtones as she notes on the back cover. Overall, Perry's vocals are blues-infused despite the genre description. The first cut of "Bed Of Blues" has pianist Mike Ventimiglia nicely introducing the sultry melody as Perry's supple vocal phrasing pleads for reconciliation. She then launches into R&B influenced tunes, "Easy For You" with scorching vocals enhanced by a lavish harmonica exercise and "Roadmaster" with it's jump melody and big band groove. The only cover on the CD is "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" (Hank Williams, Sr.) and Perry's aching vocals are sumptuous while the cry in her harmonica resonates with anguish. "Blues Comes To Call" is a swinging bluesy lament augmented by guitarist Hiro Suzuki's arresting solo. On "Goodbye Honey" Perry's rich vocals display an exquisite sense of timing. "Don't You Worry" is funky and the band's layers of sound propel Perry's repetitive exclamation "this ain't the worst day of my life." Perry's commanding harmonica playing enhances "That Night In Memphis." Returning to the blues, Perry is in her element on the last three tracks and leaves one wishing she had concentrated on more of this content. "Let Me Rest" features Matt Baxter on dobro and stomp box with Perry on vocals and harmonica-her enchanting vocals sizzle with emotion. The title cut "In My Sweet Time" has an alluring gospel-like melody and Perry's ethereal vocals meander from sweet to saucy. "Not Bad Enough" is reminiscent of Ma Rainey and is a duo with Perry on vocals and Ven- Shop: odax

Better Get Right
BETTER GET RIGHT, the first of three new CDs to be released by critically-acclaimed singer, songwriter, guitarist and bandleader Howard Fishman in 2010. The sixth studio album from Howard Fishman (and seventh overall), it is Fishman's love letter to New Orleans, his adopted home when just starting out as a struggling street musician in the mid-90's. "It really wasn't until my first post-Katrina visit back, a few years ago, that I realized I needed to find a way to front my own brass band, to bring some of that music and chaos back up to New York. I wasn't sure how it would work - brass bands don't typically have a guy out front, singing and playing an acoustic guitar - but I wanted to try. I wrote a bunch of new tunes, added tuba and horns, put my memories from living down there to work, and this is the result." On BETTER GET RIGHT, Fishman is indeed backed by a New Orleans-style brass band (dubbed "The Biting Fish"), in a set of new originals interspersed with new takes on traditionals and gospel from the Big Easy repertoire. The music is by turns funky, intimate, dirty, and reverential. Often compared to artists like Lou Reed, Beck, The Magnetic Fields, and Jonathan Richman, Fishman brings a punk-like vitality and edge to his almost encyclopedic familiarity with diverse musical forms to create "an irresistible synthesis" (Backstage) that truly is "something entirely new" (Downbeat.) He made his debut at the Algonquin Oak Room in 1999, and has since headlined in major venues both here and abroad, including Lincoln Center, Joe's Pub, The Steppenwolf Theatre, The Pasadena Playhouse, NJPAC and Le Petit Journal in Paris. He maintains a full-time touring schedule, including recent dates with singer/songwriter Nellie McKay in San Francisco, Seattle and New York.- Shop: odax

Disappearing Acts
Chuck Butterworth There are two kinds of people in the world. And Chuck ain't one of them. Chuck's music is not made for the general public. Neither is he, for that matter. First release in 40 years. It's the economy, Genius. Lazy old musician finally hits 10,000-hour mark. Who is Chuck? Real like butter. The best we can tell, Chuck Butterworth is a singer-songwriter-musician who's eclectically charged--with a power source all his own. The wit and grit in Chuck's lyrics let you in on some kind of inside joke and that all-too-familiar heartache. His originals will have you laughing, crying, and wondering. Where's Chuck been? A natural progression from a high tone/low tone past. Chuck has been afflicted with music since he was 14, and he wrote the first of over 400 songs at age 16. He plays guitar, harmonica, keyboards, penny whistle---and he's not even ashamed to pick the banjo. An original member of Birmingham's The Bassmen in high school, Chuck's been playing around ever since. At Auburn University, Chuck and the other Candy Store Prophets headlined for such infamous annual events as the Hayseed Party and The Grain Alcohol Bash. Throughout the 1970's, Chuck played mostly acoustic music with Eddie Robinson in Birmingham and The Part-time Band in Auburn. Just to build his character, Chuck loaded the U-Haul and moved to Nashville in 1987 where he wrote and performed. Yet another savvy career move found him flipping burgers at Brown's Diner. Figuring he'd built enough character to last a while, Chuck returned to Birmingham and happiness in 1993 to be with his childhood friend Mary. They married in 1997. These days Chuck plays lead guitar and sings with Lost in the Ozone, featuring his old pal Eddie Robinson and other great local talents, and plays his originals around town, as well as teaching 20+ students guitar weekly. What Does Chuck play? Folk-lectic at it's finest. A unique and timeless mix of folk, blues, and country. Originally influenced by old-time rock and roll, today Chuck's music also reflects the inspiration of the folk era, Irish ballads, and classic country. Chuck has developed a style that's smooth, rich, and real as, well, butter. Sit back, relax, and let Chuck's cool grooves, hot licks, and fun, one-of-a-kind lyrics transport you to a better place. Your ears will thank you.- Shop: odax

Everything Dies
Die UK Emo-Punks um Em Foster beschäftigt sich mit Gender-Dysphorie und ist im März mit Milk Teeth auf Tour.When Em Foster, songwriter-in-chief for Watford-based rock band Nervus, began to write songs in her bedroom, she did so purely as a means of personal catharsis, a way to exorcise her demons through rapturous melodies. Following up on the critically acclaimed debut 'Permanant Rainbow', Everything Dies deals with exterior forces and how they play on the mind of someone dealing with gender dysphoria. Like all great sophomore albums, it expands the bands horizons without compromising on their original ideals. Far more direct than its predecessor, with a confrontational edge, Em s vulnerability turns to anger at a 21st century society still unwilling to accept that gender isn't simply defined within two restrictive parameters. In June 2017, Nervus co-headlined an 10-date DIY UK tour with Riot Grrrl fuzz rock duo Kamikaze Girls as well as garnering much coveted slots at Manchester Punk Festival and Brighton's Washed Out Festival. Most impressive of all, in October 2017, Nervus played their first show overseas at Fest in Gainesville Florida. The show was so packed, some punters were refused entry due to the venue being filled to capacity. They've also been handpicked as one of the bands to support Southampton horror-punks Creeper during their 'The Theatre of Fear' tour, which includes a date at the prestigious 2000-capacity Shepherd's Bush Empire.
