Songs for Swingin' Lovers! is the tenth album by American singer Frank Sinatra and his fourth for Capitol Records. It was arranged by Nelson Riddle and released in March 1956 on LP. It was the first album ever to top the UK Albums Chart.

Gianluca Cascioli is an Italian pianist, conductor, and composer. He studied composition at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Turin and piano with Franco Scala. In 1994, Cascioli won the Umberto Micheli International Piano Competition, whose jury included Luciano Berio, Elliott Carter, Charles Rosen, and Maurizio Pollini. The prize included a record contract with Deutsche Grammophon, for whom he recorded three CDs in his late teens.

Recording an album is daring to create, as a painting. Unlike the instant of a concert, in which our art disappears almost immediately as we finish playing, recording allows us to preserve our work eternally, and to transmit it.

Ecco dunque due dei suoi Quartetti (uno giovanile, uno appartenente all’estrema maturità) affiancati ad autori del primo Novecento: Webern, protagonista della stagione atonale e seriale, Zemlinsky e Bartók esploratori di vie alternative alla dodecafonia; e a un autore dei giorni nostri, il britannico Adès, che condivide con Mendelssohn una grande naturalezza di scrittura.

True to her inimitable style, Susie invents a very personal way of celebrating the Holidays with this Christmas album of bewitching charm. Once again, Susie demonstrates her exceptional flair for selecting songs, offering a choice of some great classics and some superb lesser known titles that she unveils with obvious pleasure. The infinitely alluring performances give off irresistible warmth, heightened by the jazz and bluesy colours so characteristic of the Arioli sound. With its flowing rhythms, its hushed atmospheres and its carefully crafted arrangements, Christmas Dreaming evokes the holiday spirit with a formidable authenticity

What began as Lou Reed’s backing in the seventies stepped out on its own as Everyman Band, recording this self-titled debut for ECM in 1982. If a group is only as good as its musicians, then the name is a contradiction: not everyone possesses the firepower of Michael Suchorsky on drums, David Torn on guitar, Bruce Yaw on bass, and Marty Fogel on saxophones. The latter brings his idiomatic flair with three originals. Torn steals the show in “Lonely Streets,” a smoldering trek through nocturnal fires and other hidden conflagrations. Fogel spikes this punch with his own choice poisons. Yaw keeps up at every turn of phrase, and keeps us “On the Spot” with a memorable bass line, around which Fogel herds Torn’s flock in tight circuits. “Fatt Blatt” weighs in with a heavy tenor solo before the quartet pulls its best funk off the rack in a monochromatic swing. Yaw has his moment in the sun before diving back into the vamp with a vengeance.

The Seekers' second LP was built around their Top 20 hit "A World of Our Own," which, like "I'll Never Find Another You," had been written by Tom Springfield.

The Seekers are an Australian folk-influenced pop quartet, originally formed in Melbourne in 1962.

Carpenters Horizon, the Carpenters’ most musically sophisticated album to date, smoothly adapts the spirit of mainstream Fifties pop to contemporary taste.

The duo’s best album, and the place to start beyond the hits compilations. Up to the release of A Song for You, the Carpenters’ success had seemed an awesome if somewhat fluky phenomenon…

The Knoxville Jazz Orchestra (now in its twentieth year), releases an incredible album produced by Donald Brown and Vance Thompson titled, "The Road Less Traveled". Featuring guest performances by Carmen Bradford, Eric Reed, Gregory Tardy, and Michael Dease.

It’s mid- to late-1975, what remained of Big Star is no longer, Third/Sister Lovers was sitting on a shelf and Alex Chilton was in Memphis at a very low point. Chris Bell spent a large part of the year in London trying to get a solo record deal, but turned up empty and flew home to visit family in late summer. While at home, Bell was cutting more solo tracks at Ardent, one of which, “You And Your Sister” needed a harmony vocal, so he called in Alex.

Country music, with a few shots of Mellencamp and Southern rock, was Conor Matthews main inspiration as he headed to Music City. In classic Nashville fashion, he built his own chain of connections: While working at Nordstrom’s, he sold a shirt to a music industry executive, who later stumbled upon a performance by Matthews. Impressed, the exec introduced the young newcomer to Keith Urban, who in turn arranged a meeting with Warner Chappell Music. A publishing deal followed, after which Matthews was writing with Sam Hunt, Ash Bowers, Rhett Akins and other Music Row mainstays. His career as a behind-the-scenes hitmaker seemed on track.
