Lilian Terry (1930–2023) was born in Cairo and raised in Rome. A pioneering jazz singer on Italian television in the 1950s, she recorded actively between 1957 and 1963 with top Italian musicians —Romano Mussolini, Oscar Valdambrini, Gianni Basso, Enrico Intra, Dino Piana, Sergio Fanni— and international artists like George Gruntz, George Joyner, and Buster Smith. She sang jazz standards in English and Italian, always with elegance and emotional depth. “Lilian Terry sounds the most American of the handful of European singers who have made it in jazz, yet she has the most international background of them all,” said producer George Avakian. Her voice was pretty and expressive, marked by beat, feeling, good intonation, and a flexible, intimate quality that made her unlike anyone else. A tireless jazz promoter, she gradually shifted her focus to organizing events and educational projects aimed at promoting jazz awareness. For all these qualities—and her enduring contributions as a jazz artist—she is rightfully considered Italy’s First Lady of Jazz.

'Maybe I'm Dreaming' is the latest collection selected by Mikey Young and Keith Abrahamsson (founder and head of A&R at Anthology Recordings), the mangled minds behind the beloved 'Follow the Sun', 'Sad About the Times', and .'Still Sad' compilations. The twenty tracks of Dreaming make a conscious, and unconscious, detour from its predecessors, sourced entirely from private press releases, spanning new decades and production modes within homespun folk, soft rock, and otherwise '70s and '80s FM radio adjacent music. The magic of Dreaming is the untold story of the artists behind these songs; those who missed the big time, but whose song craft and unrequited care hit the right notes, both high and low.

The album blends dance pop, electro-rap, post-punk, and hyperpop, creating a vibrant sonic landscape.

JOVA! LIVE! LOVE! is the perfect album for anyone who wants to relive the emotions felt during Jovanotti’s legendary shows! Recorded during the PalaJova2025 tour dates, “JOVA! LIVE! LOVE!” is a Best Of album composed of 27 iconic tracks from Jovanotti’s career. Inside are all the historic hits, including ”Il più grande spettacolo dopo il Big Bang”, ”Ragazza Magica” and ”L’ombelico del mondo”, but also more recent tracks such as ”I love you baby” and ”Un mondo a parte”. The album is available in two unmissable formats: Triple LP and Double CD.

This obscure LP is as notable for some late-period playing by trumpeter Richard Williams as it is for the solos of tenor saxophonist Frank Foster. With flutist Artie Webb, guitarist Roland Smith, pianist Harold Mabern, bassist David Lee, drummer Freddie Waits and percussionist Azzedin Weston completing the group, the music (four forgettable originals by Foster, Billy Mitchell and Hale Smith) has some good improvising and shows the influence that funk and, to a lesser extent, fusion had on the modern mainstream jazz of the 1970s.

Dallas-born soul singer Rhetta Hughes began her career in a lounge act with pianist Tennyson Stephens; a move to Chicago led to a debut LP for Columbia. In 1968 she was discovered by Bill Cosby, who signed her to his Tetragrammaton label; debut single 'You're Doing It With Her' nearly cracked the R&B top 40, the breakthrough coming in a one-off psychedelic soul recasting of the Doors' 'Light My Fire.' Both singles appeared on Re-Light My Fire, a rarity that changes hands for top dollars, and the rest of the album is just as good, Mike Terry's tasteful arrangements drawing out the best of Hughes' abilities. A great listen for soul fans!
