"Moon Beams" is a pivotal recording from the newly reformed and influential jazz ensemble, The Bill Evans Trio. Following the death of long-time band member Scott LaFaro, Bill Evans enlisted bassist Chuck Israels to perform on this soothing tapestry of jazz ballads. The subtle, yet mind-blowing set, included the haunting Evans' original, "Re: Person I Knew", a jazz rendition of "Stairway to the Stars" and the sublime, "Polka Dots and Moonbeams".

'Round the World with Les Baxter is an album by Les Baxter, His Orchestra and Chorus. It was released in 1957 on the Capitol label (catalog no. T-780). The album was recorded on August 8, 1956.

Kaleidoscope is one of Les Baxter's earliest 12" albums, an instrumental platter that contains the hits "Blue Tango," "Ruby," "Gigi," "The High and the Mighty," and one of his biggest, "April in Portugal.

What an astonishing idea: Couple the sensational, genre-defying Japanese pianist Hiromi Uehara with the spellbinding Colombian harpist Edmar Castenada, who proves that his traditional Andean folk instrument is as unlimited as his musical imagination. Both these people are charmers: Since her 2003 debut recording "Another Mind", Hiromi has dazzled listeners with her explosive keyboard technique and performance style. She is classically trained, but clearly loves the spontaneous and unbound aspects of jazz. Castenada, whose father was a famed harpist, hails from Bogota. He emigrated to New York City in 1994, quickly attracting attention. In his hands the harp’s strings ring forcefully, adding unusual counterpoint to jazz’s encounters with all the world's possibilities. What do Hiromi and Castenada sound like in collaboration? Only a few audiences know - this is their first tour together. Bet on their music being fresh and lively.

New recordings of six superb Baroque suites by a London contemporary of Handel, graced a vision and ingenuity out of all proportion to his fame.

The Tomb of Couperin. Ravel completed the composition of Le Tombeau de Couperin, a cycle dedicated to the piano, in November 1917. This tribute to eighteenth-century French music includes six parts: Prelude, Fugue, Forlane, Rigaudon, Minuet and Toccata.

At roughly half an hour’s running time, the return of Elizabeth Fraser is an EP with all the heft of an album. Fraser’s gaseous soprano arrived fully formed in the 80s as part of the Cocteau Twins. Since then, she has lent her instantly recognisable instrument most famously to Massive Attack – her partner in life as well as in Sun’s Signature, Damon Reece, played drums for them – but hasn’t released a body of work of her own.

Whiskey Myers has been growing and developing since Firewater and every album has seen the band feel more comfortable in their sound and have made some incredible music along the way. I have been a fan of the band since Firewater and have had the pleasure of seeing the band live on numerous occasions along with playing the album on regular repeat.

A l'automne dernier Jean-Louis Aubert se produisait dans les théâtres et opéras de France avec PREMICES, puis au printemps-été avec PREMIXCES. Deux tournées à guichets fermés, où il a dévoilé, en avant-première, des nouvelles chansons et une scénographie inédite : un rêve qui l'habitait depuis longtemps, sur lequel il a travaillé trois ans durant avec une équipe d'informaticiens et d'ingénieurs.

Produced by 16-time GRAMMY Award-winning producer David Foster, Wallflower finds Diana Krall breaking new ground with her interpretations of some of the greatest pop songs of all time.

The Smithereens decided to make a proper, all-out studio version of one of the albums that inspired their rock dreams of becoming a band in the first place for this 40th anniversary tribute. The Who's unique sound will never be duplicated, but then again neither will The Smithereens' sound that has made them enduring rock icons over the past 25 plus years. The result is part Who, part Smithereens. Part totally familiar, and part unexpectedly unique… and 100% tour de force. The Smithereens' "musical dreams ain't quite what they seem" - the result is more than a loving tribute and much more like an inspired re-imagining. After listening to this album a few times, you may never hear any of The Who's versions of "Tommy" the same way again.

Son Lux is a band. A trio, to be exact; one that has meticulously woven together dizzying percussion, fraying guitar, symphonic bluster, and haunting vocals into a quaking and vivid post-pop (post-everything) burst called Bones. The fourth Son Lux album combines all of the architectural precision and aural inventiveness we've come to expect, with more immediacy and melody than ever. That's all to do with the crew.

Be sure that Jean Louis is one of the most innovative and surprising RIO bands of the last years. Their debut was really shocking and powerful, full of enjoyable sections that mixes the most wild RIO of the new century, Avant-Prog, Jazzy moods, some chamber Rock and freaky syncopated rhythms. With their next releases, Jean Louis just confirm the superb talent of their musicians when they create that singular kind of music.

Les Baxter (1922-1996) used to be an utterly talented composer and bandleader who was on the go to the max during his active years. His version and as I should say vision of jazz music was a contemporary fresh and colorful sound with an exotic vibe due to the use of many elements of latin music within a modernized big band sound.
