No Fear Music
No Fear Music-Jazz from Spain. Recorded in Granada their CD includes exciting original compositions and unique renditions of famous standards "Laura" and Besame Mucho." Jesús Henandez-Piano David Defries-Trumpet and Flugelhorn Valantín Iturat-Drums Juan Masana-Bass By the way... Today, the world is saturated with the sounds of mechanically reproduced music. Many musicians, whose only wish is to play live, are obliged to record their offerings before they go out the road, so that they are already known to the public, and can thus guarantee a concert promoter a fair return, their "product", having had an airing in the media. It was not always so: the pianist, Bill Evans, when asked why he had not recorded for sometime, said he only recorded when he had Something to Say. As with music, so in theatre. The Marx Brothers took their routines round provincial American theatres for several months, elaborating and cutting their scripts according to public reaction, before returning to Hollywood to film the final version. 70 odd years have passed since Bela Bartok delivered a lecture at an American university, anticipating some of the changes in humanity effected by recorded music. NO FEAR MUSIC was born of a collaboration between Jesús Hernández & David Defries, playing as a duo in schools thought Andalucía. Returning home to Granada, they sought the collaboration of Juan Masana, seeking ways to expand the role of the Bass. Then, as they started to play concerts as a quartet, came Valentin Iturat, who with good taste and varied experience, earthed the disparate rhythmic labyrinths, inherent in the workings of two Geminis. Thus, their music is the fruit of shared experience over time. Not only had they recorded the music live in 2 days, near Granada, Spain, to become known, in order to play live, but also, because they hope to have Something to Say.- Shop: odax

Hot Millions
Any fool can steal. I've been embezzling. The con is on in Hot Millions, a droll caper whose wit and warmth recall the Ealing Studios romps of the 1950s. Peter Ustinov heads an engaging cast and co-scripts the Oscar-nominated screenplay about a dapper rogue (Ustinov) who uses a corporation's mainframe computer to issue checks to bogus companies, then proceeds to cash the checks. While he's stealing (sorry, embezzling) millions, delightful Maggie Smith nearly steals the show as a featherheaded secretary. Karl Malden as a pill-gobbling CEO and Bob Newhart, he of the button-down mind, add to the affable fun. When it was over, I realized that I'd been smiling for two hours (Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic).- Shop: odax

Crustacean Songs & Music
L.J. Dopp studied acting and directing at Los Angeles City College Theatre Arts Department and wrote-directed his first movie (a horror comedy) in the cinema department there. , He has also studied figure drawing at Chouinard Art Institute (now Cal Arts), and screenwriting at AFI. , Although he has lead various L.A. blues/rock bands since the '70s, he is mainly an artist by trade. In '72, Dopp found himself on President Nixon's notorious White House enemies list for political cartooning -- along with the other artists and writers at The Los Angeles Free Press during the Watergate scandal. , He was art director for exploitation producer David F. Friedman's pioneer home video company, TVX, and directed his first commercial movie, 'Leather Persuasion,' in 1980 -- a film of inordinate restraint featuring Friedman as a detective. , He freelanced during most of the 80s, often designing ads for Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. In the '90s Dopp created props for movies like Spawn and Bats, and played with his blues-rock band, Blue Thunder. , In 2003 he designed and sculpted Dragncon's Futura Award. After penning several spec scripts, Dopp met producer Edward L. Plumb and in 2004 the pair began production on the horror comedy anthology, 'The Boneyard Collection,' for which Dopp composed and performed half the score. In 2010, they co-produced the over-the-top grindhouse parody, 'Crustacean,' written-directed by Dopp, who was also production designer and wrote and performed the songs and music on the soundtrack, featured on this CD. This album was co-produced by Dopp and sax virtuoso Tom Saviano, and also features an appearance by legendary English musician, Jack Lancaster. Recorded and mixed in Tarzana, California.- Shop: odax
