"1:42 seconds of complete joy" says Dave Reynolds of 99.7 The River

MICHAEL BEHM Love’s Like Numbers With “Love’s Like Numbers,” Michael Behm delivers again. He has earned an international reputation as a pure pop singer/songwriter par excellence, and this dazzling new single ups the ante. A slice of pop nirvana, it features a melody you just can’t or won’t want to shake, and a clear and compelling message. To Behm, the language of love is “very basic. Be clear in your mind about the type of experience you want to have with a person, and all your actions line up with that intention. ‘Love’s Like Numbers’ is about the simplicity of love.” With the perfect precision of a Japanese haiku, Behm makes his point in just 1 minute and 42 seconds. “The optimum length is the one the song needs in order to convey the necessary energy,” he explains. To drive his musical point home, Behm fully utilizes his multi-faceted skills as a singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer. He records all his material at a state of the art home studio on Vancouver Island, and makes no apologies for the classic ‘60s and ‘70s feel of his production. “That’s when the best ever music was created,” he says. “My brain has retained many different approaches to music over the years, and this is where I end up. I’m grateful for that, as I love that style of music and those techniques.” It may have retro roots, but Michael Behm’s music possesses a contemporary relevance that has earned it a welcoming response from radio in North America, Europe and Australia. His previous single, “If I Could Learn To Fly,” recently topped both the Pop and Power Pop charts in Australia on mp3.au.com alongside No. 1 (Vancouver) and No. 2 (Canada) positions on the Reverb Nation chart. The title track of Behm’s 2008 album Saving America scored notable airplay and media attention in the U.S., with its pointedly political subject matter confirming the breadth of his lyrical vision. His U.S. publishers, Rumblefish and Scorekeeper, are earning significant success in placements from his deep catalogue of song titles south of the border. Closer to home, B.C. adult contemporary radio station 99.7 The River is using Behm’s “Take Me Down To The River” as its theme, while Vancouver’s Rock 101 selected another Behm original as the theme for its popular Bro Jake Show. Michael terms “Love’s Like Numbers” “the first of a new generation of songs of mine. I’ve been refining a simpler approach to songwriting, coming up with strong themes and focusing on them.” Here’s a song and an artist that really count.

"Morning Grooves" by Alessandro Bottura




A New Classic Jazz Fusion CD “Morning Grooves” Featuring The Hit Instrumental Song “MayDay Mayhem"


The multi-talented Italian Bass Player Alessandro Bottura has released his brand new CD entitled “Morning Grooves,” which features his RadioIndy chart-topping single “MayDay Mayhem.” The album contains nine smooth fusion songs of rock, jazz, and pop instrumentals, including another radio favorite “Stern Memories” that has listeners mesmerized when they hear the hard hitting bass playing reminiscent of the Jaco Pastorius masterpieces of early 70's.


The musical artist from Modena proposes a new hot and sophisticated work. Maybe just too much for the barbaric and rough tastes of Supporto Italiano, but in a way, advisable for those whom have the luck of possessing a delicate and attentive ear. Alessandro Bottura is an awesome bass player, just as many others on the earth after all. But only a few of them has the strength to challenge the marketplace alone.

Alessandro studies at PercentoMusica in Roma with the Masters Massimo Moriconi, Pierpaolo Ranieri, Mario Guarini, Luca Pirozzi, Alessandro Patti (electric bass), Massimo Fedeli (playing ensembles and improvisation), Aldo Fedele, Franco Ventura (playing ensembles), Andrea Avena, Stefano Scatozza (music theory), Fabrizio Aiello (rythmical awareness), and continues the studies also at the “Accademia di Musica” in Modena, following the improvement class instructed by M° Giuseppe La Monica.

The new album is the synthesis of the bassist’s enterprising research and is released under the supervision of Maftrust Inter Vivos of Las Vegas, NV. A curriculum rich and full-bodied is displayed from the composition exposed on this “Morning Grooves” CD. Alessandro Bottura, between straight funk and fusion virtuosity, gives wonderful hyper-technical attacks attended by research along with bright and expressive solutions. It won’t be the album of the century, but our brave bass player knows his stuff and this will certainly cause more talk about him in future.
Vote: 8,5/10″

- Fabrizio Maulu -


Alessandro Bottura's new CD “Morning Grooves” is currently available through iTunes, CD Baby, Rhapsody, Amazon.com, 7Digital, and Napster.
