Justice & Vitalic - The French Rocktronika invasion

There's a new harder and edgier "rock n roll" electronica moving into the mainstream and making the trip across the Atlantic from Europe to the US. Justice & Vitalic, both hailing from France, represent a potent synergy of mashed-up beats/nasty synths and razored guitars. It's club music but is more infused with the spirit of rock n roll than even the most progressive forms of house or trance.

Hiromi Uehara - Modern Jazz Piano & Keyboard Superstar

I recently had the pleasure of seeing the incredible Hiromi live at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz, CA (a fantastic community non-profit jazz club even by worldwide big-city standards) where I am a member and have sponsored several fantastic shows over recent years including Pat Metheny with Keyfax New Media. Bobbi Todaro does an awesome job gathering the very best talent to add Kuumbwa to their west coast US tour schedules.

She really is one of the new great modern keyboard talents equally artistically comfortable and fluid on piano or synthesizer. Check out her new album "Beyond Standard" or the "Spiral" CD with Bonus DVD from 2007.
