Pianist and country music supremo Floyd Cramer returns with two albums on one SACD: Class of ’73 and Class of ’74-’75. Produced by Chet Atkins and recorded at the famous “Nashville Sound” Studios, it’s certainly an ear-opening experience hearing Cramer’s inimitable piano in wide, expansive four-channel audio. And you’ll marvel at just how alive and vibrant his country interpretations of popular hits are when given the quadraphonic treatment.

Floyd Cramer's known as a studio genius who's especially great in an intimate setting – but here are two albums that feature the legendary pianist in very different modes! First up is "Floyd Cramer With The Music City Pops" – a set that has Floyd's piano in front of the Nashville orchestra – who soar and glide along in these ways that are maybe even more upbeat than some of Cramer's usual material – even though the lineup features lots of strings and woodwinds. Second is "Floyd Cramer In Concert" - a compelling live album – with Floyd playing in front of an audience, but still recorded in all the best up-close modes of his other records.

"Complete Communion" is a 1966 album by American jazz composer Don Cherry, his first release on Blue Note Records. Each side of the original LP were suites, side-long compositions working with several themes. Critics have proposed this recording as an important innovation in the free jazz of the time, introducing "an alternative both to athematic improvising and to monothematic pieces".

Tony (real name Antonio Čulina) does not like riffs, there are practically no riffs, he does not use distortion or any special pedals, he moves through a multitude of improvisations, opening the accompanying line-up full space for basic movement from the quintet to the sexte of a single chord and back to the frequent repetitions of ‘blue Notes’, and in order for the real blues not to be without that basic, there is more than half of the material in casual, moderate and sluggish tempos

“We cannot plan our life, we can’t plan our day. We can only be grateful that it goes in a good way,” says Juanita Cohen Smith, a 90-year-old pianist and jazz and pop singer.

“It is my profound belief that one can discover meaning in life by reflecting on death and the evanescence of our existence. It is only by contemplating death and accepting it that we may find peace of spirit and mind.

The transition to another dimension, that of eternal life, is a stage that comes as natural to every Christian. This is why my own musical statement about the dead is contemplative in mood, full of hope, optimism, and love…”
