Qualityland (eBook, ePUB)
In the near future sci-fi world of Qualityland, algorithms help create an idyllic life for its citizens, but what if the perfect world wasn't built for you?Welcome to QualityLand, the best country on Earth. Here, a universal ranking system determines the social advantages and career opportunities of every member of society. An automated matchmaking service knows the best partners for everyone and helps with the break up when your ideal match (frequently) changes. And the foolproof algorithms of the biggest, most successful company in the world, TheShop, know what you want before you do and conveniently deliver to your doorstep before you even order it.In QualityCity, Peter Jobless is a machine scrapper who can't quite bring himself to destroy the imperfect machines sent his way, and has become the unwitting leader of a band of robotic misfits hidden in his home and workplace. One day, Peter receives a product from TheShop that he absolutely, positively knows he does not want, and which he decides, at great personal cost, to return. The only problem: doing so means proving the perfect algorithm of TheShop wrong, calling into question the very foundations of QualityLand itself. Qualityland, Marc-Uwe Kling's first book to be translated into English, is a brilliantly clever, illuminating satire in the tradition of Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and George Orwell that offers a visionary, frightening, and all-too funny glimpse at a near future we may be hurtling toward faster than it's at all comfortable to admit. So why delay any longer? TheShop already knows you're going to love this book. You may as well head to the cash register, crack the covers, and see why that is for yourself.- Shop: buecher

Gentleman
Der Sänger, Songwriter und Saxophonist mit Millionen verkaufter Alben und einer 28-jährigen Musikkarriere kehrt auf "Gentleman" mit neuen Original-Songs und ein paar handverlesenen Nuggets anderer Autoren zurück. Eine Spitzenband aus Pianist und Organist Larry Goldings (James Taylor), Bassist David Piltch (kd lang), Schlagzeuger Austin Beede (Alastair Greene Band), Trompeter John "Scrapper" Sneider (Madeleine Peyroux) und Schlagzeuger Doug Yowell (Duncan Sheik) sorgt für den erstklassigen musikalischen Rahmen. Curtis Stigers glänzt hier nicht nur mit seiner markanten Stimme, sondern auch mit neuen Songs aus eigener Feder, eingängig und tief getränkt in Jazz und Blues. Produziert von Larry Goldings, ist dieses neue Album für Fans handgemachter Musik und großer Stimmen goldrichtig.- Shop: odax

Hooray For Love
Curtis Stigers ist frisch verliebt und hat dies zum Leitthema seines neuen Albums "Hooray For Love!" gemacht. Das Repertoire von "Hooray For Love!" besteht überwiegend aus Standards und enthält Juwelen wie Gershwins "Love Is Here To Stay", Jerome Kerns "The Way You Look Tonight" und den durch Frank Sinatra bekannt gewordenen Song "You Make Me Feel So Young". Die letztgenannte Nummer sang Stigers im Duett mit der jungen französischen Sängerin Cyrille Aimée ein, die 2012 den ersten Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition für sich entschied. Aber natürlich mischt Stigers unter die alten Klassiker auch neue Stücke. Neben dem Titelsong, den er gemeinsam mit seinem Trompeter und Koproduzenten John "Scrapper" Sneider schrieb, komponierte er auch noch "Give Your Heart To Me" und - gemeinsam mit Matthew Fries und David Poe - "A Matter Of Time". Neueren Datums ist auch Steve Earles "Valentine's Day".- Shop: odax
