This production is dedicated to the American composer Morten Lauridsen. His choral work O magnum mysterium (1994) in particular has become one of the hits of contemporary choral literature in recent years. Lauridsen (born 1943) grew up in Portland, Oregon, the son of Danish immigrants. The songs of Jerome Kern, Cole Porter and Richard Rodgers were very present in his home. He initially studied English and history and worked as a fireman.

With the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra under Mihhail Gerts, this recording offers a vivid journey through contemporary Estonian soundscapes-from Tamberg's Stravinskyan dynamism and Kõrvits's folk-infused impressionism to Tüür's rhythmically charged reinvention. The album is a bold testament to the bassoon's modern voice from one of the instrument's foremost exponents.

Imagine an abandoned railway station in the American Midwest. It’s late evening, the rails glisten damply in the pale light, and somewhere a guitar case rattles in the wind. It is the time of the hobos – those travelling men who roamed the country with nothing but a song on their lips and a dream in their luggage. Marc’s great-grandfather was one of them. About 140 years ago, he travelled by train, on foot, taken along by travelling traders, from the south to the north, in search of work – and perhaps also in search of himself.

Cellar Music boss Cory Weeds returns with another fine recording backed by the dependently swinging rhythm section of frequent Cellar Music players (pianist Miles Black, bassist John Lee, and drummer Jesse Cahill) and alongside the famously big horn of Jerry Weldon! Weeds is an accomplished and highly stylized tenor man cut from the swinging cloth of Gene Ammons, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, and George Coleman. On 'Meets Jerry Weldon', this winning formula continues. This recording is not sheepish about acknowledging its two-tenor front line influences.
