• Antonio Carlos Jobim - An All Star Tribute | DVD | (24/01/2005) from £26.98   |  Saving you £-1.99 (-8.00%)   |  RRP £24.99

  Direct from Brazil comes this deeply appreciative musical tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim (1927-94) co-founder and leading composer of the Bossa Nova. With hundreds of songs to his credit Jobim virtually single handedly brought the Bossa Nova to the world where it became a staple ingredient in the jazz cookbook. Jobim's new sound adapted the rhythmic variety and percussive excitement of the samba to the intimacy of syncopated guitar while echoing the melodies and harmonies of co

• World Of Rhythm - Live | DVD | (19/07/2002) from £18.41   |  Saving you £1.58 (7.90%)   |  RRP £19.99

  This trio of piano grandmaster Herbie Hancock, bass legend Ron Carter and fusion drummer par excellence Billy Cobham gets branded "jazz-rock" by the booklet-note writer in World of Rhythm--Live. Well, perhaps such a description might have fitted when the form first came to prominence as the first wave of hard bop was dissipating, but these days this just comes across as a very, very good straightahead jazz gig. Furthermore, the music sounds as fresh as it no doubt sounded in 1983, when this concert was recorded in Lugano. There are a few meditative passages, but this is mostly crisp, assertive stuff, with Cobham's snappy boogaloo style propelling the proceedings along. Look out, though, for a short interlude of nearly free improvisation, which seems to come as a pleasant surprise to the band as much as to the audience. On the DVD: Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Billy Cobham's World of Rhythm--Live is reasonably well-served by this DVD release. The 4:3 ratio picture is accompanied by stereo and surround options, plus a small extra text-only biographical feature. Overall, though, the sheer quality of both sound and vision makes any extras seem superfluous. --Roger Thomas

  For the time, there had never been a more lavishly produced science fiction TV series than Space: 1999, which was British-made on an astounding first-season budget of 3.25 million pounds, and ran for two seasons from 1975-77. What keeps fans enthralled after all these years has only partly to do with the first-rate production values, the plausibly constructed spaceship models and expert special effects. The tone of the show is one of scientific dispassion, setting it apart from its TV SF predecessors such as Star Trek in which the mood is more generally convivial. Our heroes here are in dire circumstances that require cool heads as a survival trait. Those circumstances: the moon and the 311 crew members of Moonbase Alpha experience a cataclysm that causes the moon to break away from Earth orbit and travel endlessly through space, making our heroes into unintentional explorers. No TV series has created a more palpable feel of hard science fiction than this. Of course, the show is not without its detractors, having been soundly lambasted for its many scientific errors. No less august a figure than Isaac Asimov criticised the show for its premise in the opening episode "Breakaway", which had nuclear explosions on the "dark side of the moon" somehow propelling it out of Earth orbit and flying through space without regard to physical law. In "Earthbound", aliens travelling to Earth state it will take them 75 years to reach their destination, making one wonder why it didn't take the moon that long to encounter the aliens. While these are serious complaints, fans tend to remember the scientific seriousness of the series and the sense of awe created by the many strange creatures and phenomena they encounter on their journey through the galaxy. --Jim Gay, Amazon.com
