Sam Cooke tribute to Billie Holiday. An album that's seldom been seen and disappeared almost as quickly as it was released. Sam Cooke turned these songs inside out with twisting, awesome interpretations. It was one of the few times he was able to break out of the light pop/teen idol bag in a studio and pour his heart into great lyrics and numbers.

This is the fourth Ray Conniff SACD released by Dutton Vocalion. The hybrid SACD featuring both the stereo and quadraphonic mixes. Remastered from the original analogue tapes by Michael J. Dutton.

Ray Conniff and orchestra perform 22 romantic standards such as "The Way You Look Tonight," "It Had To Be You," "The Very Thought Of You" and many more.

Fabien Mary is one of the best trumpet player of the contemporary jazz scene. He played with Wynton Marsalis, Diana Krall, Benny Golson, Harold Mabern, Johnny Griffin, Steve Turre, Michel Legrand, Archie Shepp and many others. The story behind this album is a broken arm in New York. Or how French trumpet player Fabien Mary transcended his forced immobilization by composing ‘Left Arm Blues’, an album of originals that refect the hopes from a young jazzman in a city that never sleeps and always swings.

Using the alias Caroline Says, Caroline Sallee made her recording debut in 2014 with 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong, an entirely self-recorded album assembled in her parents' basement in Alabama. An intimate, hazy collection of folk-poppy reflection, it came to the attention of Western Vinyl, which reissued it in 2017 while she was working on the follow-up. Arriving a year later, "No Fool Like an Old Fool" was also written, performed, and recorded by Sallee alone in a basement, though this time in her own basement apartment in Austin, Texas.

Damien Done is the nom de plume of Damien Moyal, best known as frontman of iconic 90s hardcore punk bands As Friends Rust. Here, Moyal takes a sharp and decided turn from the angst of his past, instead crooning unnerving, voyeuristic tales over bleak numbers that at once touch on the doom and drawl of swampy grunge and the cold, blue sneer of dark 80s pop and post-punk.

Bill Baird is prolific and multifaceted experimental musician from Austin, Texas best known for indie rock's Sound Team and Sunset. Nothing makes happy than the fact that Bill Baird consistently writes beautiful songs, and his latest album is just another in a long line of wondrous tunes.

Tony is a jazz trumpeter and all around amazing musician. He is one of the most prolific creatives on the NY music scene right now, and besides being a world class trumpet player, he is a pianist, singer, songwriter, producer, and composer. His music is influenced by everyone from Stevie Wonder to Miles Davis.

In 2022, at the end of a series of performances dedicated to Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847), Claudio Cruz (violin), Adonhiran Reis (violin), Gabriel Marin (viola), and Alceu Reis (cello) from the award-winning Carlos Gomes Quartet, decided to record the entirety of Mendelssohn’s string quartets. In this project with the Azul Music label, the first volume is the album Mendelssohn: String Quartets No. 1, 2 & 3.

An unapologetically rowdy all-female rock band from the Pacific Northwest, Thunderpussy are a loud and proud quartet whose music combines a heavy dose of indie rock smarts and arena rock bombast with a dash of humor and plenty of showmanship. Thunderpussy were formed in Seattle, Washington in late 2013 by vocalist Molly Sides (formerly of This Bitch Don't Fall Off), guitarist Whitney Petty (a veteran of the Grizzled Mighty), Leah Julius (ex-Cumulus and Sundries), and drummer Lena Simon (also a member of La Luz and Kairos).

On this inclement collaborative mini-album, Mary Lattimore teams up with Weyes Blood's Walt McClements, who plays electronically-enhanced accordion against Lattimore's signature looped harp flourishes. Gorgeous stuff - one for fans of the West Coast new age scene, for sure.

Originally recorded in 1977, this splendid re-release per of Haydn’s sacred masterpiece in its original fully orchestral version was never released as a CD or in digital, making it one of the highlights of our Marriner centenary jubilee!

With 'Paris 1884-1959', his first record with Aparté, Florian Billot gives us the soul of a city of which he is the pure musical result: he studied with Michel Béroff at the great institution common to almost all composers on this album, the Conservatoire de Paris, from 2002. From the romanticism of Franck, to the enlightening appeal to sensuality of Debussy, through the clear writting of Henri Dutilleux's 'Sonate', Florian Billot leads us to French musical treasure. 'Pavane pour une infante défunte' and 'Improvisation n°15, Hommage à Edith Piaf' by Francis Poulenc, end the disc with a heartfelt hommage from one of the Six to his friend. Florian Billot offers a subtle and comforting musical interpretation, highlighting the colours of Parisian life in the early 20th century.

"Emotion" (stylized as E•MO•TION) is the third studio album by Canadian multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen. Looking to transition from the "pure pop"-oriented nature of "Kiss", Jepsen found inspiration in 1980s music and alternative styles. She enlisted a team of indie-pop collaborators including Dev Hynes, Ariel Rechtshaid and Rostam Batmanglij. This deluxe edition adds three bonus tracks.

To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the release of the hit-laden E•MO•TION, Canadian pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen unveils this eight-track companion EP, containing the unreleased tune "Higher" as well as "First Time", available only in Japan until now.
