Age of Lost Kisses
Richard A. Del Pizzo is a composer and nylon-string guitarist based in New York City. On The Age of Lost Kisses he performs original compositions which incorporate the best aspects of classical music, jazz, and Brazilian guitar music, sometimes within a given piece. From the disc Liner Notes: The composition of these works served a multi-fold purpose: self-expression, the search for beauty, relief from pain. Music can elevate one from the depths of despair back to normalcy, or, if one begins at normalcy, to the heavens above. From various starting points, I have endeavored to lift myself, and hopefully the listener, to new levels, using the beauty of chords and harmonic progressions as my medium. Though classical performance technique is employed throughout, stylistically the majority of the pieces employ a jazz idiom and harmonic vocabulary. Nonetheless, several works do have a decidedly more 'classical' feel, or are possessed of a drive and verve which is typical of Brazilian guitar music at it's best. Many present a panorama of moods and cascade through auras as if inviting one to take part in a journey. Some pieces carry on from where others left off, while some may share a similar chord progression or feel before developing in different directions. Robert Frost's poem 'The Road Not Taken' often came to mind while composing. Whereas Frost had to make a choice, following one path and leaving the other forever unexplored, if I in a given piece had to choose from distinct possible developments, upon it's completion I was able to return to the point in the road where I had to commit to one direction, then follow my ideas to an entirely different destination in a subsequent piece. Perhaps keeping this in mind one could produce a roadmap of a composer's world.- Shop: odax

Grisaia
There's a reason that THE FRUIT OF GRISAIA's Yuji Kazami adjusted so easily to living in a prison-like school with five very twisted girls: Mihama Academy wasn't his first experience with an education in hell. In THE LABYRINTH OF GRISAIA, Yuji's horrific past is revealed. From a dysfunctional family controlled by a domineering sister and an abusive father, his youth was a steady descent into hell that ultimately led to a school for assassins where the only way out was murder! So when Yuji's past comes back to haunt him and he's framed for a crime that he didn't commit, there's really only one group of bad girls he can trust to have his back... and the five girl commando squad of Yumiko Sakaki, Makina Irisu, Sachi Komine, Amane Suou, and Michiru Matsushima doesn't let him down in THE EDEN OF GRISAIA!- Shop: odax

The Man Who Invented Christmas

Charming speculation on the creation of "A Christmas Carol" co-stars Jonathan Pryce, Simon Callow, Miriam Margolyes. 104 min. Widescreen, Soundtrack: English. Two-disc set.- Shop: odax

In 1995 in Holland, Michigan, a group of players were put together for a one-time Sunday service special music event. Who knew that this many years later this core group of church musicians would grow in to BBOP: the Big Band of Praise! The Big Band of Praise is a Christian group dedicated to connecting with our listeners by presenting the Love of God through song and testimony. The BBOP of today continues because they are passionate about big band music and sharing that music and their stories to as many people possible. Most of the players are only part-time musicians and commit to each season of rehearsals and performances in addition to the full-time jobs and busy lives they lead. They are a tight-knit group of friends that look forward to each new season as they grow closer in their friendships and tighter in their music. The BBOP season runs January through December with a large portion of their events held during the summer months of May through August. BBOP will usually offer a one to two hour concert of big band standards and gospel songs set to a swing beat. You will hear them at summer concert series, festivals, professional sporting events and many other venues. Where there's an audience that's ready to swing, they'd love to be there.- Shop: odax

Mr. Wong, Detective: The Complete Collection
Cashing in on the success of both Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto, Monogram Pictures ushered in their own Oriental detective series in 1938 with Boris Karloff as Mr. Wong, Detective. With horror films temporarily in the doldrums and his career needing a fresh tangent, Karloff jumped at the chance to play the gentlemanly and dignified sleuth of Hugh Wiley stories. This turned out to be a lucky break for Monogram too. In 1939 horror films returned with a vengeance and Karloff who had been making more expensive thrillers for Universal and somewhat cheaper ones for Columbia, was suddenly a much bigger name than Monogram could have afforded were he not already under contract. Karloff went on to star in a total of five Mr. Wong films for Monogram between 1938 and 1940. The sixth and final film in the series, Phantom of Chinatown, was issued in 1940 and actually starred Keye Luke who replaced Karloff as a younger Mr. Wong. MR. WONG, DETECTIVE: When business magnate Simon Dayton is found dead inside his locked office moments after police detective Sam Street saw him at the window, renowned private detective James Lee Wong joins forces with the homicide squad to interpret the only clues found at the scene-tiny fragments of delicate glass. Soon sinister agents of foreign powers start appearing in the shadows, Dayton's business partners start dying under equally mysterious circumstances, and Wong and Street have to race against time to prevent more murders, including, possibly their own. 69 min, B&W, 1.33:1, NR, 1938 THE MYSTERY OF MR.

WONG IN CHINATOWN: The famous private detective James Lee Wong takes it personally when a Chinese princess is killed with a poison dart in his own home.

The trail leads to international arms-smugglers, shady bankers, mute midgets, and tea-sipping Tong leaders, any of whom may have done in the princess. 64 min, B&W, 1.33:1, NR, 1939 THE FATAL HOUR: When a common close friend is murdered while investigating smuggling on the San Francisco waterfront, private detective James Lee Wong, crime-beat reporter Bobbie Logan, and Captain Street of Homicide devote all their skills to finding the killer. Their respective investigations zero in on a failing retailer of imitation Chinese antiques, a waterfront nightclub being run by a shady gambler, and the obscure connections that exist between them. When more bodies start to pile up, Wong must solve the case, or become a victim himself. But how can he hope to catch a killer who can commit murder within Street's own squad room? 69 min, B&W, 1.33:1, NR, 1940 DOOMED TO DIE: When shipping magnate Cyrus Wentworth is murdered, Captain Street immediately arrests the only possible suspect: The disgruntled fiancé of his daughter, the only person in the room with him when he died.

Complications emerge when evidence of connections between Wentworth, Tong criminal activity, and the mass-murder of 400 passengers onboard one of Wentworth's ships are revealed... and Mr. Wong himself comes under fire from gangsters and killers. 68 min, B&W, 1.33:1, NR, 1940 PHANTOM OF CHINATOWN: When a famous archeologist and expert in ancient Chinese history is murdered during a lecture on his latest expedition, young Chinese-American and recent Oxford graduate Jimmy Wong teams with homicide detective Bill Street to solve the mystery of his murder.
