When bassist Dimas Anindityo, drummer Mulyadi Triharsono, guitarist Yudhi Arfani and keyboard player Aulia Naratama began jamming with singer Irene Yohanna almost 10 years ago, they were so impressed with her languid vocals that they agreed to name their band Everybody Loves Irene. But of course, not everybody loves her - in fact, in their native Jakarta nobody beyond a tight circle of alternative-music fans has even heard...
Cassandra Wilson Loverly; out now Wilson, a distinctively dusky-voiced singer who can work jazz's boundaries with pop, avant-garde and blues, here assembles an album of standards echoing her breakthrough Blue Skies (1988).

He understands that those moments the political community, especially the media, considers urgent usually aren't.
