Swept Away is a spectacularly expressive, historically monumental, and masterfully synchronized contemporary post-bop and chamber jazz studio masterpiece co-engineered by two legendary musical vanguard monarchs, the peerless American double bass virtuoso Marc Johnson and the iconic Brazilian piano songstress and keyboard master Eliane Elias, digitally preserved and released on compact disc under the prestigious independent European high-fidelity preservation imprint ECM Records. Spanning over 68 minutes of breathtakingly intense, conceptually profound instrumental interactions across 11 definitive tracking alignments, this high-fidelity document serves as an absolute peak monument in early-2012 acoustic jazz archaeology. Serving as a deep personal and creative continuation of their partnership, this landmark session executes a fierce, forward-thinking sonic blueprint that marries the distinct, pristine, and spatial "ECM sound" with warm lyrical romanticism, rigorous post-bop swing, and delicate bossa-tinged impressionism.

Works by the young Handel and his colleagues at the court of Benedetto Pamphili, including world premiere recordings of cantatas by Lulier and Bononcini, along with a flute concerto by Gasparini. This recording features soprano Kristen Watson.

These live recordings of Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni and CosÏ fan tutte are a fine tribute to celebrate 40 years of La Petite Bande. They have released an Anniversary Series to mark the oustanding achievement of this highly regarded Belgium-based ensemble.

Lighthouse is a spectacularly fluid, historically monumental, and masterfully synchronized contemporary jazz studio masterpiece by the virtuosic British-international triumvirate of pianist Gwilym Simcock, multi-reed master Tim Garland, and percussion visionary Asaf Sirkis, released in 2012 by the premier German independent jazz preservation imprint ACT Music. Spanning over 56 minutes of deeply adventurous, telepathic instrumental interaction across 9 tracks, this high-fidelity document serves as an absolute pinnacle statement in early-2010s European creative music archaeology. Characterized by its highly unique, bass-less instrumentation layout, the trio bypasses conventional trio architecture to execute a fierce, liberating sonic blueprint that seamlessly marries complex classical chamber counterpoint with high-velocity post-bop improvisations.
