Frank Ifield began his recording career in Australia in 1953, where he enjoyed success on EMI's Regal Zonophone and Columbia labels with "Yerranderie", "Kaw-Liga", "True", "Chip Off The Old Block" and "Will I Ever". After coming to the UK in 1959, he registered minor chart action with "Lucky Devil" and "Gotta Get A Date", while "That's The Way It Goes", "Your Time Will Come" and "Alone Too Long" were 'turntable hits', generating plenty of radio airplay. He finally topped the UK charts in the summer of 1962 with "I Remember You", which was followed by "Lovesick Blues / She Taught Me How To Yodel" a double sided No 1 and second consecutive multi-million selling worldwide hit. This unique compilation also includes Frank's ultra-rare German language versions of "I Remember You" and "She Taught Me How To Yodel". This is a companion release to Jasmine's other collection of early Ifield rarities 'The Yodelling Cowboy Years'.

David Feldman was born in a family of classical and early-music musicians dedicated to baroque and classical music. He started very early his musical studies, playing classical piano at the age of four. At that time, he would drive his piano teacher crazy, because he would never stick to what was written on the music sheet, always preferring to show his personal interpretation of the piece. When at the age of ten he heard “Misterioso” by Thelonious Monk, it became obvious that whatever he was doing had a name: improvisation. Later on David studied with the great Luiz Eça.

In 2000, David enrolled at the New School Jazz and Contemporary Music Program in New York, graduating in 2002. In such a short period of time, he already worked with legends of jazz like Slide Hampton and Claudio Roditi, was invited to sit in at the Mingus Big Band and worked with Duduka da Fonseca and with brilliant young musicians, like Matt Garrison and Eli DeGibri.

In 2009 he released his first CD for EMI entitled "O Som do Beco das Garrafas", incensed by the specialized critics. Since then he has performed in many jazz festivals in Brazil and abroad, having already presented more than four times at the International Festival of Punta del Este, where the 2014 edition he had the virtuouso clarintetist / saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera as special guest .

In 2014, the pianist released his second album entitled "piano", which was considered by critics Carlos Calado and Antonio Carlos Miguel as one of the top ten releases of 2014.

In 2016, Feldman releases a new trio album entitled "Horizonte" with André Vasconcellos on bass and Marcio Bahia on drums, this time emphasizing his own compositions. On this album, David also has as special guests the guitarist and composer Toninho Horta and trombonist Raul de Souza.

David has worked with the "crème dela crème" of MPB: Paulo Moura, Leo Gandelman, Leny Andrade, Leila Pinheiro, Carlinhos Brown, Jaques Morelembaum, Maria Rita, Bossa Cuca Nova, Ricardo Silveira, Wilson Simoninha, Totonho Villeroy, to name a few .. .

The Dirty River Dixie Band is a traditional style jazz band hailing from San Antonio, Texas. The first band members originally met at Texas Lutheran University in Seguin, Texas; where most of them studied music. After a concert put on by San Antonio’s own Jim Cullum Chris Alvarado and Kris Vargas decided to put a similar group together. Their first public performance was under a gazebo on the square of downtown Seguin where they instantly started turning heads. They have gone on to perform at weddings, corporate events, private parties, and a number of central Texas venues such as: Jazz TX, Sam’s Burger Joint, The Esquire Tavern, Luna Jazz Club, The Austin Traditional Jazz Society, Bar 1919, Boardwalk Bistro, The Cove, The Texas Theatre, and many others. They have also been featured at Music Festivals such as: Jazz’SAlive 2017, The 2016 & 2017 Texas Jazz Festival in Corpus Christi, The 2016 NOLA Texas Food & Music Festival, 2016 & 2017 San Antonio Oyster Bake, 2015, 2016 & 2017 San Antonio Deco District Art and Music Fest, and Numerous events at San Antonio’s Historic Market Square. They are the winners of the 2015 Network for Young Artists’ Battle of the Bands, as well as first runner up in the same competition in 2014.

The band is managed by Drummer, Vocalist, and Arranger Chris Alvarado, who also handles all bookings. The band is led on stage by Cornetist Kris Vargas and backed by Ian Anderson (Trombone), Anthony Guzman (Clarinet), and Trevin Roming (Piano) who have all been with the band for the past 2-3 years. Recently Tyler Jackson (Banjo/Guitar), Edwin Brown (Tuba), and Sarah Ulloa (Vocals) have been added to the bandstand bringing their musical stylings and added energy with them! This group can be heard on their newest album entitled “Swing That Music!” which was recorded in January 2018. The Dirty River Dixie Band’s sound closely emulates The Jim Cullum Jazz Band who has helped mentor the members of the band. Other similar artists include: Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, Kid Ory, Turk Murphy, Lu Watters and many others. With everyone in the band being a music educator, the goal of the band is to bring high energy and expertise to a style of music that some have forgotten. The roaring 20’ are coming back around and The Dirty River Dixie Band is the future of traditional jazz in Texas.

Drums – Ed Blackwell; Piano – Michel Petrucciani; Saxophone [Tenor, Alto, Soprano] – Joe Lovano. Recorded on December 29, 1991 at Skyline Studio, New York City, NY.

With a style that blends the liquid sonorities of cool-school saxophonists like Stan Getz and highly inventive, post-Coltrane lines, Joe Lovano has emerged as one of the most consistently creative musicians in jazz. While it's possible to discern passing resemblances to Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter, and Ornette Coleman, Lovano has an authentic voice of his own. Even his high harmonics are a mixture of gauze and grit. This 1992 session stands out for the superb band that Lovano has assembled, an unlikely ensemble that consistently fuels his multidirectional approach. Pianist Michel Petrucciani is a master of subtle harmonic improvisation, while drummer Ed Blackwell fuses counterrhythms and joyous parade drumming in a manner first developed within free jazz. The superb bassist Dave Holland seems to be knitting all the parts together from below as Lovano does the same above. The results are consistently exciting, whether the theme at hand is a standard ballad, a tune by Monk or Coltrane, or one of Lovano's brisk originals. ~Stuart Broomer

She began her professional career in 1985, forming part of different groups and is also a singing teacher. Her style moves away from the tango stereotypes, highlighting the richness of melodic and poetic lines that the genre possesses. In her repertoire she tackles classic tangos and also works of recent promotion.

From 1998 to 2000, she joined the tango trio Alma Bohemia, with which she performed at the San Martín Cultural Center, and at the Recoleta Cultural Center. In November of that year, the group's recording material was recorded live. From the year 2000 she began her work as a soloist, accompanied by the guitars of Gustavo Fernández and Pepe Listorti. Since then she has developed an extensive activity, highlighting his presentations at the Café Clásica y Moderna and at the Buenos Aires Tango 2001 Festival, organized by the city government.

In 2003 she recorded Ciudadana, his first solo album, edited by Gobi Music. In 2005 she edits Ciudad secreto, his second solo album, accompanied by the most renowned musicians of our musical environment. At the beginning of 2009 she released her fourth album Solo Piazzolla (EPSA Music), in which she presents a wide repertoire of the great Argentinean composer and bandoneonist, including two unreleased tracks and "Campo camino y amor", the only one that she composed with the famous Atahualpa Yupanqui.

"Blues By Chance" is the latest record of Carlo Milanese. The Genoese artist, at the piano, is accompanied by a group formed by Claudio Capurro, alto sax, Fabrizio Cattaneo, trumpet, Alberto Malnati, double bass and Rodolfo Cervetto, drums. Self-taught, grown musically under the guidance of his father Luciano, Carlo Milanese began his professional activity as a drummer in 1991. In 2005 he made his first CD, "Intermission" with Luciano Milanese, Andrea Pozza and Carlo Atti. "Blues By Chance" proposes him as an unprecedented pianist: a fresh modern mainstream, consisting of original compositions solved with verve by a complex that combines undoubted individual qualities with a set of reliable reliability.

Compiled by Capitol's Kevin Flaherty and London-based music journalist Steve Pafford, who also wrote the album sleeve notes, Greatest Hits features all of the tracks from the band's very first hits compilation, 1981's The Best of Blondie, including all four long-deleted 'special mixes' by producer Mike Chapman. Author Pafford was in the early stages of working with Debbie Harry on a lavish illustrated coffee table book entitled BlondieStyle (the sequel to his acclaimed BowieStyle, published by Omnibus Press), though as of 2010 the project is still on hold.

Joined by a rhythm section comprised of fellow veterans (pianist Derek Smith, guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Ray Mosca), Phillips gives standards and riff tunes warm and often hard-swinging treatment. Other than a few tasteless (if humorous) jokes, this is a flawless release that serves as a definitive portrait of Flip Phillips in his later years. ~Scott Yanow

Vibraphonist Red Norvo was among the most flexible of improvisers from his generation. On this Bluebird CD, Norvo is heard with three very different groups. He interacts with trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, tenor saxophonist Ben Webster and pianist Jimmy Rowles in a swing-oriented sextet; their performances are highlighted by the memorable "Just a Mood." In addition, Norvo plays four songs that have the word "Blue" in their titles with a quintet that is an outgrowth of his trio of a few years earlier (this group consists of flutist Buddy Collette, guitarist Tal Farlow, Monty Budwig or Red Callender on bass and drummer Chico Hamilton) and four "Rose" songs with the who's who of West Coast Jazz: trumpeter Shorty Rogers, clarinetist Jimmy Giuffre, pianist Pete Jolly, Farlow, Callender and drummer Larry Bunker. No matter what the setting, Norvo fits in quite comfortably and the consistent high-quality of the formerly rare music makes this a highly recommended set to bop collectors.

Mary Kaye (January 9, 1924 Detroit, Michigan – February 17, 2007 Las Vegas, Nevada) , sometimes called the "First Lady of Rock and Roll," was a guitarist and performer who was active from the 1940s through 1960s.  In a 2003 interview for Vintage Guitar magazine, Mary Kaye (born Malia Ka'aihue) claimed to be descended from Hawaiian Queen Liliuokalani, through her father Johnny Ka’aihue (Johnny Guitar) whom she claimed was "pure Hawaiian" and stated, "he was the son of Prince Koheo, Queen Liliokalani’s younger brother." However, according to the genealogy Liliuokalani put in her biography, her brothers were King David Kalākaua and Prince William Pitt Leleiohoku II. Neither Liliuokalani nor her brothers had any biological children. The Mary Kaye Trio is credited with founding the Las Vegas "lounge" phenomenon at the Last Frontier in 1953 : an allnight party atmosphere where stars and common folk rubbed elbows in a freewheeling environment.

Mary Kaye died in a Las Vegas hospital of pulmonary disease on February 17, 2007. Her son Jay Kaye was also a musician. At the age of 15, he put out his first LP, Suddenly One Summer in 1968. Now a cult psychedelic album, it received little notice or airplay upon its release. He later moved to Europe to play in casinos.Mary was photographed with her equal partners Frank Ross and Norman Kaye of the Mary Kaye Trio, in a 1956 Fender promotional advertisement featuring a new Stratocaster electric guitar. This ash blonde guitar with maple neck and gold hardware later became popularly known as "The Mary Kaye Strat." Only a few were produced in 1956, but the color has been re-introduced to the Fender line after the strong international demand for the Mary Kaye color scheme. A limited Custom Shop series Mary Kaye Tribute Strat was issued in 2005. In 2007 a 57 Reissue Mary Kaye Strat was released for the 50th anniversary of the Stratocaster. The Custom Shop release can be seen in the 2005 Fender Frontline Catalog along with her personal history as interviewed by Fender. In 2003, Mary Kaye received the first officially recognized "Mary Kaye" American Stratocaster, gifted by the Fender Custom Shop. This instrument marks Fenders first official recognition of a "Mary Kaye" model. This instrument, serial MK 001, can be additionally noted by the instruments back plate reading "To Mary Kaye From Your Friends at Fender". The instrument is currently listed with online luxury retailer Luxify.com and their broker INTMIX The International Musical Instrument Exchange who produced an in-depth look at the instrument, narrated by Mary Kaye's nephew John Kaye. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Kaye

When trumpet titan Dizzy Gillespie left this earth he left no shortage of disciples behind. His now-legendary peers (i.e. saxophonists Jimmy Heath and Benny Golson), a cadre of killer Cubans (Arturo Sandoval, multi-reedist Paquito D'Rivera, pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba, etc.) and a pride of young lions all worked with him, learned from him, and sang his praises, both before and after he departed; so did/does pianist Mike Longo, though too few people seem to recognize him. Part of the problem, as illustrated above, is that Longo never fit neatly into a category. He was too young to be considered one of Gillespie's peers and too old to be considered on-the-cusp-of-the-new when he left Gillespie's employ. Perhaps that's why he doesn't get the credit he deserves for his work, Gillespie-related or otherwise. The truth is that he's been keeping the flame alive, teaching the next generation and furthering his own craft during his regular Tuesday night gigs at the John Birks Gillespie Auditorium in the New York City Baha'i Center. This recording is a snapshot of one such performance. On a Tuesday in July of 2013, Longo and his big band The New York State Of The Art Ensemble held court at the aforementioned auditorium. In prepping for the recording, producer/saxophonist Bob Magnuson had enough time to set up two tube microphones, say a few words to the soloists about them, hit "record" and take his seat in the reed section; in other words, he didn't over think it and try to suck the life out of the recording. Magnuson simply wanted to capture the sound of Longo's band in action and he succeeded.

The album contains three Longo originals, three vocal features that showcase singer Ira Hawkins and a pair of classics that can be connected to Gillespie Golson's "Whisper Not" and Denzil Best's "Wee." Those classics bookend the album and turn out to be the standout tracks. A barnstorming and bluesy "Muddy Water" is the strongest of the three vocal tracks, as Hawkins channels Joe Williams, but he also does an admirable job on his own arrangement of "I'm Old Fashioned" and Longo's unique take on "Over The Rainbow." Voice and material just seem to be a bit mismatched on those occasions, as Hawkins' deep and resounding voice seems destined for glory through the blues rather than ballads or easygoing swingers. Longo's originals speak to some different ideas altogether. The laidback, lightly funky "Afro Desia" possesses a simple charm, "Yoko Mama" sounds like it could've been in the Buddy Rich book in the '70s, and "Inner City Hues" is an understated gem. Longo's band like Longo himself may be under-recognized because it occupies a place in an artistic middle ground. It's not pushing progressive art or living out its days as a museum piece, but it fills an important niche somewhere in between those two poles and it sounds great doing it. ~ Dan Bilawsky https://www.allaboutjazz.com/live-from-new-york-mike-longo-consolidated-artist-productions-review-by-dan-bilawsky.php

Compared to his earlier Blue Note recordings, organist Jimmy Smith's outings for Verve are not as strong from a jazz standpoint. Certainly his renditions of the "Theme from Joy House," "The Cat," and the "Main Title from The Carpetbaggers" are not all that significant. However, this set has some tasteful arrangements for the big band by Lalo Schifrin, and some good playing by the great organist on a variety of other blues-oriented material. Also, the combination of organ with a big band is sometimes quite appealing, making this album worth picking up despite its commercial focus. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-cat-mw0000188691
