        Russian pianist Gleb Kolyadin became known beyond the circle of dedicated Prog fans for his duo album iamthemorning which won the 2016 Progressive Music Awards for Best Album. Together with singer Marjana Semkina, the pianist achieved a stroke of genius here, which is due to both his fantastic partner and himself, as both harmonize almost supernaturally on the emotionally charged duo album.   iamthemorning From The House Of Arts - Live Self-released,2015 https://www.sendspace.com/file/p4f1lj

        According to the infinitely demanding Frank Zappa, Vinnie Colaiuta took "first prize" when it came to supplying complementary polyrhythms to his guitar solos "on the moment" — look no further than the intricate guitar-drum confabulations of  Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar  for proof. But Colaiuta is also a master of restrained finesse, in demand by everyone from Herbie Hancock to Joni Mitchell to Sting. "You're not there to show off a bunch of crap or be the center of attention," he says of his job. "You're there to blend in and be a part of it."

        Nicknamed “The Mole,” Taylor was the founding bassist for Canned Heat and played with the band from 1967 to 1970, including spots at the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock. The band was known for their hits “Going Up the Country,” “Let’s Work Together,” and “On the Road Again,” all of which featured a boogie rock anchored by the bassist. He would reunite with his Canned Heat bandmates until the late Nineties.       Aside from Canned Heat, Taylor was a hardworking session bassist who worked with The Monkees (hear him on “Last Train to Clarksville” and the Monkees theme) as well as Jerry Lee Lewis, John Mayall, Tom Waits, Albert King, Buddy Guy, and more. He continued playing the rest of his life and worked with John Hammond Jr, Kim Wilson, and John Lee Hooker. CANNED HEAT Live At Topanga Corral Wand,1971 https://www.sendspace.com/file/45bozx

        "I'm the famous guitar player," the late Duane Allman said, "but Dickey is the good one." The two spent less than three years together in  the Allman Brothers Band , but they established an epic rapport – jamming at length, trading solos and playing their famous twin-guitar leads. After Allman's death in 1971, the group continued with Betts, scoring with "Ramblin' Man" and "Jessica." For all his blues and slide chops, his roots are in jazz, and you can hear the influence of his clean-toned modal soloing in every Southern rock group that's followed.

        Adam is the son of Elektra Records founder, Jac Holzman. Adam grew up in California and started classical piano lessons at age 12, but his main influences were “The Doors”, Leon Russell and Dr. John. He started getting into progressive rock and jazz-rock during the late 70s, which in turn led to a growing interest in jazz.       Adam is simply one of the most innovative musicians alive. He is a perennial poll-winner in the Fusion category for Pulse! magazine’s year-end Top Ten listings. “Keyboard” magazine named him one of the top 10 players in the world, “Down Beat” lauded his “killer groove” and compared him to Jan Hammer – and even the “New York Times” and the “Washington Post” have praised Adam’s live shows.
