hi, I’m Alessandro and I’m a member of the Italian progressive rock group “Side C”.
we are from Verona (Italy), we are between 19 and 24 years old and we play progressive rock music, inspiring our original compositions from the masterpieces of groups like Genesis, Yes, ELP, Area, etc, looking for our own originality at the same time.
you can listen to the tracks of our last demo (registered live during an exibition at Blocco Music Hall, Verona) and see some videos (recorded during the same concert) on our facebook profile page, waiting for the new and more professional website we’re workin’ on:
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=hpskip#!/pages/Side-C/90453023403
we also have a myspace profile where you can listen songs from our firts EP (“Stati D’Alienazione):
http://www.myspace.com/sidecaltrolato/music/songs?filter=featured
the purpose of this email is to find a channel able to promote our music and to change what today is only a (big) passion into something closer to the professional or semi-professional world of music.
that’s why we’d be honored to be quoted on your websites or if you’ll decide to play our music on your radio station.
we’ll be happy to send you our material if you need it. we’ve got 2 EPs (the last one is the one recorded during a live exhibition), videos, etc.
for any other information, please don’t esitate to ask me.
thank you very much,
Alessandro (Side C) 00393403048460

Hi, Great tunes, this is the perfect mix for me and my friends when we get together. Do you ever play Frank Strazzeri(Moon Germs)? Thanks again
Hi there.
We are the progressive rock/ jazz fusion band from Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Band’s name is FROM.UZ. Using this name we’ve tried to show that we are From Uzbekistan. Band was formed in 2004 and since that time we’ve released 4 albums (Audio Diplomacy, Overlook, Seventh Story and Quartus Artifactus). During the years of existence we’ve played a number of local gigs and even participated in Baja Prog festival in Mexico in 2007.
Now we are looking for people who can see potential in us and ready to help getting our music out there.
In April 2011 we released our fourth album Quartus Artifactus, that became an acoustic anthology of FROM.UZ compositions. Album is available at http://fromuz.bandcamp.com/album/quartus-artifactus
Also we have a new single, named No More… that have not been released anywhere. You can find it here http://fromuz.bandcamp.com/album/no-more-single
Please have a listen and don’t hesitate to get in touch if our music finds its way to you.
All the best, FROM.UZ.

Hello, you recently have broadcast a brazilian song CAÇA A RAPOSA, by BRAZILIAN fusion group from ’70s AZYMUTH (with a “Y”), but the image/figure of the album corresponds to another album, of another group (trio) with similar name: AZIMUTH (with a “I”) , this other AMERICAN group is from ends ’70s, John Taylor’s trio with Norma Winstone and Kenny Wheeler.
As for the music of the FUSION 101: Brillant! LO MEJOR, CHE !!!!
Best Regards
MIGUEL
Hello Miguel,
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Live 365 has a few issues with the album covers of the music I play, since a lot of it is out of print. I’ve fixed the error and now show the correct album cover for Azymuth, whose members are José Roberto Bertrami (born February 21, 1946, in Tatui) on acoustic piano and keyboards, Alex Malheiros (born August 19, 1946, in Niteroi) on bass, and Ivan Conti (born August 16, 1946, in Rio de Janeiro) on drums.
Cheers,
Music Man
Yes, very good group. The first time to that I listened AZYMUTH, they looked like to me the “Weather Report” of Brazil. I listen them since 1979. In those days, it was very difficult to get your records (vinyl or tape).
I’d also like to submit my music for some airplay. Here is the latest album on iTunes:

Hi There Luis,
I have an old tape I got from a friend years ago, and it has a wonderful 23 minutes jazz-rock fusion piece and I don’t know its name or who plays it. It sounds like Jean Luc Ponty and some like Mahavishnu Orchestra. I have hard lots of artists but haven’t found the one that plays that piece.
Is there a way a could send you a mp3 preview and you would perhaps help me clear this mistery?
best regards
Listen to my debut CD and I would appreciate if you would be interested in playing a few songs on your radio station.

Hello,
I’d like to send you a CD for aiplay consideration. The CD is called
Al Garcia: All Things Must Converge: 21st Century Progressive Classical Jazz-Rock Fusion from a Master Multi-Instrumentalist.
http://www.algarciamusic.com
http://www.cdbaby.com/algarcia3
Here are some reviews:
“Alfred’s unique composing style incorporates classical elements with fusion chops, the end result sounding like a cross between Beethoven and Allan Holdsworth’s I.O.U. His bass playing should appeal to fans of Jeff Berlin … his guitar style might attract fans of Holdsworth.”
- Guitar Player Magazine
“Imagine a musician with equal facility on bass AND guitar. He plays guitar like Allan Holdsworth and plays bass like Jeff Berlin. Is he human? Is he from this planet?”
- Prog4you.com (Jeffrey Ryan Smoots)
“…this is a great record, featuring beautiful guitar tones and often-breathtaking playing from beginning to end.”
- Guitar Player Magazine (Barry Cleveland )
“What great music! I love your tone and touch and the ideas are wonderful –
beautiful, creative stuff — and on both guitar and bass! Wow!”
- Michael Manring (Bassist Extraordinaire)
“A brilliant composer and guitar player, Al Garcia released what we can call an excelent example of jazz rock oriented fusion although the material on the CD goes beyond narrow classifications. Unexpected and stimulating, the music on “Alternate Realities” is a journey through the universe of jazz rock and progressive fusion blended by a master musician. From monumental compositions, lighting guitar solos, latin percussion interventions to sophisticated ethereal textures, this album has everything to delight fusion fans. ”
- JazzWorldQuest.com

Hi There
I just discovered your website while browsing for information about 1970s jazz rock/fusion.
I am desperately trying to identify two tracks which were used as backing music by the late, great British DJ Tommy Vance on his classic Friday Rock Show. I have listened in vain to hundreds of soundclips on sites such as Amazon and now I am seeking expert help!
I have mp3s of the clips from old radio shows I can send you if you would be willing to listen to them and hopefully end my misery!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hope to hear from you…..
Jim D
Tommy Vance used to use George Martin’s “Theme One” as recorded by Van Der Graaf Generator – maybe this is one of the pieces your looking for.
Hey, I’m loving this station. I’m sure that you’ll dig the sounds of my band LP Stiles. Give us a listen at http://airplaydirect.com/music/LPStiles/
I’d love to hear what you think. If you’re interested, feel free to add any music to your show. Keep it up man.
Regards,
Clay Stiles
Will do. Thanks!
~Music Man
Rob,
Can’t wait to hear your new CD. Tell me some about your bass setup. Where are you recording?
Cheers,
Luis (MusicMan)
Luis,
Zap Guru is going into the studio May 9. We are recording all original compositions this time around. I would like to send you a CD when we are done, if you are amenable. Hope all is well.
Rob
Thanks for the kind words. It’s always good to know we’re reaching somebody.
Take care,
Music Man.
Music Man – thanks for doing this – this is fantastic. I finally something decent to listen to at work! Suggestion: you might consider adding abstractlogix.com to your list of links. Thanks again, Music Man!
Stephen, just to let you know that we’re including one of your tunes in our rotation today.
Stephen, I’m giving your music a listen now. Will download the tracks and will include in the rotation. Thanks for your support!
I took a listen to your station. I thought that you might be interested in my style of music. Please give it a listen. My music is also on airplaydirect.com/sifudoe for radio ready airplay if you are interested. I appriciate your time and support of progressive rock fusion music.
Very Best Regards,
Stephen Doe
