For Dizzy everything starts and ends with laughter. In the meantime, all paths are possible. That of melancholy, of dance or of political commitment... Dizzy is everywhere at once, always elusive, he is this explorer who, after having been one of the founders of Bebop in the 40's, will never stop experimenting, surprising and pushing back the borders. Proud of his Afro-American heritage, he knew like no other how to confront it with other cultural horizons such as Latin America or Cuba. On 25 August 1973 Dizzy Gillespie came to the Dutch public in Laren. True to form, he introduced his musicians in a mischievous and generous mood and then launched thunderously into a Caribbean tempo that lasted 19 minutes! Then, in a deep voice, Dizzy evokes his friend Martin Luther King. He dedicates "Brother K" to him, a tender ballad punctuated by flashes of storm and anger. As a conclusion Dizzy invokes his roots: "The Blues", where he abandons his trumpet to unleash the full force and warmth of his voice. The musicians withdraw to a surprisingly light theme. We leave as we arrive, on tiptoe. However, we leave with a certainty: "Yes Dizzy, you made it".

Bonamassa und Smith arbeiteten mit Jimmy zusammen, um ein Album zu schaffen, das seiner erstaunlichen Karriere und seinem Talent gerecht wird. 'Ready Now' ist ein wichtiges Statement in einer Karriere voller Höhepunkte, die bis zu Jimmys Arbeit mit der legendären Rockband Wet Willie zurückreicht. Unterstützt von einer erstklassigen Band, bestehend aus Bonamassa, Smith, Reese Wynans, Michael Rhodes und Greg Morrow, hatte Hall alle Freiheiten, sich voll und ganz auf die Songs und die Performance einzulassen. Der Sänger erhielt eine Grammy-Nominierung für seine lead vocals auf Jeff Becks 1985er 'Flash' Album und tourte als Saxofon- und Harmonika-Spieler mit Hank Williams Jr.

Das erfolgreichste Duo der Musikgeschichte, Daryl Hall &
John Oates, veröffentlicht sein sechzehntes Studioalbum
"Do It For Love", das erstmals 2003 erschien, nach einer
sechsjährigen Veröffentlichungspause neu. Das Album
wird zum ersten Mal als Doppel-LP und in einem
erweiterten CD-Format mit Bonustracks, die auf dem
Originalalbum nicht enthalten waren, veröffentlicht.

"Do It For Love" gilt als eines der besten Hall &
Oates-Alben, auf dem das Duo seinen
unverwechselbaren, anspruchsvollen und mühelos
unterhaltsamen Blue-Eyed-Soul serviert, der sowohl
langjährige Fans als auch Liebhaber der 80er Jahre
anspricht. Das Album enthält die Singles "Do It For Love",
"Man on a Mission" und "Getaway Car".

The four tracks here - repressed by dint of public demand and on sumptuous blue vinyl this time round - will delight house and techno heads alike, with the latter probably gravitating to the grittier off killer shuffle of 'Weed or Majik', while the A-side boasts the smoother, more soulful 'Moveable', the kind of slower house gear that Weatherall championed at his 'Love From Outer Space' night. A calming vocal sample and tooting saxes join the string-swaddled, crunchily floorfilling groove of 'In Ya Mind' meanwhile, and 'Turquoise Wave' clocks in as stripped down and serene. Gorgeous stuff all round.

DJ and producer Annie Hall has been steadily carving a name for herself as an artist who enjoys diversity. Born and bred in Spain, Annie started her life as a DJ very young in 2003, having had her first encounter with vinyl when she was a kid because her brother is a reggae, dubs and roots DJ in Spain. With a long time passion for music and a love of experimenting with new sounds Annie isn’t constrained by the same boundaries as others. Producing since 2005, she has released on labels such as Tresor (with ´Daughter Produkt´ proyect along Gerald Donald), 2020 Vision, Detroit Underground, CPU records, Delsin Records and now she continues the journey with Orson and we are over the moon.

2022 Reissue of this split electro Mini-LP originally released on 2009

This classic piano/ guitar duo album between Bill Evans and Jim Hall has had several label reincarnations, firstly on United Artists and Solid State, and then finally on Blue Note.

"Other than four piano solos from April 4, 1962, this set was pianist Bill Evans' first recordings after a hiatus caused by bassist Scott LaFaro's tragic death. The first of two meetings on record in a duo format with guitarist Jim Hall, the collaborations are often exquisite. Both Evans and Hall had introspective and harmonically advanced styles along with roots in hard-swinging bebop. There is more variety than expected on this fine set with some cookers, ballads, waltzes,
and even hints at classical music." Scott Yanow, AllMusic

Reissue of a 1969 trio recording by American guitarist Jim Hall, who
resides at the top of the jazz guitar pantheon
At the time of his death in 2013 at the age of 83, he had long been considered
one of the jazz greats, a major influence on generations of jazz guitarists. It
seems that virtually every major musician wanted to play with Hall. His work as a
sideman ranged from swing era giant Ben Webster to new music pioneer Ornette
Coleman. HIs recording credits include a series of classic albums with groups
headed by Jimmy Guiffre, Sonny Rollins, and Bill Evans; Hall often spoke of
Rollins and Evans as two of his major influences.
This intimate June 1969 musical get-together was due in large extent to the close
friendship between the Hall and legendary German writer/ critic and producer
Joachim-Ernst Berendt. As Hall, his wife and daughter were visiting him in Berlin,
Berendt noticed that, although he had been recording extensively with a number
of major jazz figures over the last years, including several collaborative gettogethers, Hall had not recorded an album solely under his own name in over a
decade. Berendt immediately set up a trio recording for Hall that included two
internationally renowned musicians with whom Hall had previously worked, the
American expatriate bassist Jimmy Woode and Swiss- French drummer Daniel
Humair.
In such a transparent setting, Hall unfurled his finest qualities. Humair
perceptively summed it up: Hall played with "more clarity, more purity, more
sensitivity" than any other guitarist of the period. It resulted in an album of
intensely introspective music.
