spite of the fact he s not well known outside of music circles louis shelton has been integral to the pop scene for more than 40 years shelton first made his mark with the opening lines on the monkees hit last train to clarksville he backed barbara streisand and marvin gaye while also contributing to the jackson 5 s i want you back he delivered the tasty licks on lowdown the boz scaggs mega hit from 1976 while the list of artists that louie has recorded with includes john lennon whitney houston diana ross james brown and ella fitzgerald in fact shelton s signature riffs have appeared on more hit records than any other session guitarist in history in addition louie played guitar on seals crofts summer breeze and produced all eight of the duo s gold and platinum albums in 1984 louie and his family moved to australia after falling in love with the country while on vacation he set up a studio overlooking sydney harbor only to return to the states nashville tennessee to be exact in 1996 in order to be closer to relatives who were experiencing failing health louie has since returned to australia where he currently resides nonetheless also in 1996 shelton delivered a solid solo effort and for a period it appeared as though he was on his way to molding a career as a front man urban culture released in the year 2000 was his third and arguably finest effort we return now to that first rate release a project that coincides with the music city usa phase of his career for the selection mandalay sunset and one which features the soprano sax of mark douthit a track that s all about the groove this choice selection is our pick as the y2k song of year but regardless it remains an all time favourite cd urban culture 2000 label nuance records link louis shelton back to top didgerigroove the didgeridoo project after studying in munich and at berklee in boston thomas fuchsberger for a time sessioned in nashville tennessee upon returning to germany he entered the competition grand prix de la chanson where he reached the finals subsequently fuchsberger landed a record deal all this led to a series of diverse releases and the establishment of a production studio while writing ads for tv and scoring films and documentaries fuchsberger published a cook book for diabetics and travelled the world as a photographer of some repute nonetheless a disc called australia 2000 by the didgeridoo project was no doubt the most intriguing venture from an artist many consider a 20th century renaissance man featuring adrian mears on didgeridoo jay fletcher on guitar and fuchsberger on keys the undertaking fused sounds of the aboriginal instrument with some of the finest in teutonically inspired grooves the soundtrack was used extensively on german tv during their coverage of the olympic games from sydney australia sadly fuchsberger passed away in 2010 at the age of 53 nonetheless the album remains perhaps his most engaging effort from that release and an album unlike any other we have a rather hip amalgam entitled didgerigroove cd australia 2000 2000 label white records bmg tete a tete acoustic alchemy during the 80s and 90s the duo of greg carmichael the late nick webb produced a series of albums that met with the rare combination of critical acclaim while achieving commercial success throughout the period the combo thrived with a sound that remained innovative and fresh and one which helped define the burgeoning smooth jazz scene after webb s passing at the age of 43 it was left to carmichael to pick up and carry the alchemy torch rather than continuing with a familiar but albeit proven format carmichael chose to revamp the alchemy line up while charting a dramatic new direction the band was expanded to include drummer greg grainger and bassist frank felix who had long performed as back up at live gigs while miles gilderdale was promoted to fellow front man these changes resulted in an even broader range of musical expression as experimentation and diversity became key to the many albums they ve recorded so we now return to that inaugural project that marked a bold new direction and one worthy of consideration as top album for the year from it we have a personal favorite the exquisite tête à tête cd the beautiful game 2000 label higher octave link acoustic alchemy back to top highlights hour two ipanema café marcos ariel in a career dating back to the 1970s marcos ariel has long dedicated himself to promoting the music of his homeland the brazilian born keyboardist began piano at seven he studied classically in his youth and as early as nine he dreamed of recording on his own his interests later broadened to include jazz and while adding flute to his repertoire he underwent intensive studies for the brazilian symphonic orchestra afflicted with a passion for both classical and jazz related elements ariel began crossing musical frontiers with his first solo effort issued in 1986 a follow up released a couple of years later led to international recognition and through the years he s continued to enjoy a measure of success with each of his subsequent albums in particular my only passion issued in 1999 and magic eyes in 2000 proved among his most focused from that latter release we have a dynamic and daring sampling entitled ipanema café cd magic eyes 2000 label paras recordings link marcos facebook rainbow espirito espirito is the duo of keyboardist bill sharpe and guitarist fridrik karlsson sharpe is well known on the contemporary scene for his many years with the group shakatak he was a founding member back in 1980 for his work with gary numan and for various other projects too numerous to mention for his part fridrik karlsson has been a professional musician since the age of sixteen enjoying his first international success as a member of iceland s mezzoforte the pair connected shortly after karlsson relocated to the uk in 1996 and became the more or less permanent guitarist for shakatak the band were on the look out for a replacement when long time member keith winter was forced to leave the group due to a prolonged illness while each took part in many diverse projects in the year 2000 they also took time for a full blown collaboration as espirito their one and only such effort the project bristles with as lush and delicious a set of tracks as you ll hear anywhere given a slightly freer radio climate the cd would easily have been one of the year s best still that makes our task all the more relevant if everyone was onto great music such as this our efforts would be redundant to say the least in any event as a footnote under the heading don t know what to make of this neither sharpe nor karlsson make any mention of the espirito project on their respective sites go figure nevertheless we present a track that literally sizzles as presented on ed 416 back on september 10th 2006 cd peace of mind 2000 label instinct records passion jazz links bill sharpe fridrik karlsson breaking away chieli minucci it was at the age of six that chieli minucci was introduced to the piano by his father who also encouraged chieli to try his hand at composing however by the time he turned 8 chieli had fallen in love with the guitar that became his instrument of choice he formed his first band when he was 13 and then over the years but primarily while attending ithaca college minucci developed a rather unique approach to the stringed apparatus this was also a period during which he was also exposed to jazz in 1982 minucci connected with the late george jinda together they formed special efx the pair recorded extensively and by the mid 90s they were riding a wave of popularity it was right around then that chieli chose to also launch his solo career since that time minucci has developed into one of the most respected artist on the contemporary instrumental scene he resurrected the special efx name in 1999 while spearheading several superb projects under his own name in addition chieli has earned several emmy nominations for his work on the guiding light and in fact he won an award back in 1998 he s written for and produced various artists done a variety of session work and has as continued his work with both special efx and on his own we return now to one of his finest efforts and one we hope will make you feel the way the title suggests it s called
