'Happy Apples’ presents a collection of improvised duo exchanges between legendary free jazz vocalist Julie Tippetts, whose spell-binding vocals intermingle perfectly with saxophonist Kevin Figes’ atmospheric playing. Both musicians supplement the recording with an array of percussive devices, including the quirky tinkling 1970s toy that lends the album its name. The epic opening track “The Third Harmony” sets the mood for the recording as Tippetts displays a dazzling array of vocal techniques throughout, with Figes switching to flute and percussion accompaniment. Other tracks involve strange sounds - a crackling transistor radio, squeaking plastic chicken and toy duck that complement the traditional instruments and Julie’s voice, which is the most powerful and striking of them all.

After the successful Dusk of the Ages (2019) campaign Furor Gallico are back with a vengeance, once again brilliantly blending extreme metal music with traditional Celtic, Irish and Breton tunes. While ‘Future to Come’ cannot be considered as a concept-album, most of the songs are based on the idea of physical and spiritual redemption. The listener will be thrown in a multifaceted world where every song is one of many scenarios - from epic and apocalyptic landscapes to the inner reconciliation with ourselves and the Earth - each unique in its style and yet well balanced, so to take him on a journey through life’s sorrows and deliverance.

The resounding refrains of The Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford reverberate throughout A Lullaby Carol: Christmas from Christ Church, a rich tapestry of traditional and contemporary works celebrating the choir's musical heritage, particularly from the 20th and 21st centuries. Highlights include the melodically and rhythmically rich "Make we joy now in this fest" and "All this time", by Sir William Walton, one of Christ Church's most famous alumni; John Rutter's modern masterpiece "Hymn to the Creator of Light" and Simon Preston's timeless "There is no rose". There are also two settings by former Organists of Christ Church: Stephen Darlington's arrangement of "Silent Night", and his successor Steven Grahl's setting of "O nata lux".

A breathy-voiced chanteuse whose polished and unabashedly romantic pop songs have earned her a sizable international audience, Natasha St-Pier first rose to fame in her native Canada before developing a strong following in Europe after relocating to France. Born February 10, 1981 in Bathurst, New Brunswick, she studied piano and dance throughout childhood and made her professional stage debut at age eight. Already a seasoned veteran of the regional festival circuit, St-Pier vaulted to national fame in 1993 via Quebec's famed television amateur showcase Le Pouvoir de la Chanson, making the series' history as the youngest contestant ever to survive to the final round. Her debut single, "Le Parcours du Coeur," soon followed, and at age 14, she issued her first full-length LP, Emergence. I

Sortie initialement prévue le 8/11 Eddy Mitchell est de retour avec 'Amigos', son 40ème album studio !

When Aisha Badru started making music roughly a decade ago, the soulful singer-songwriter was thoughtful but also shy and hesitant. Her debut album Pendulum (2018) was a melancholic, sometimes fiery, musing on life’s highs and lows. In an industry that thrives on bravado and affectation, even after all her success, Aisha still presents herself as introspective and understated, but what has changed is that she tries to do everything with purpose. This, she chalks up to music’s life-changing impact on her, or “rewiring my mind,” as she likes to put it.

In 1967, Nancy Sinatra would continue her artistic ascent into the pop stratosphere with the James Bond You Only Live Twice theme song, the groovy technicolor television special, Movin' With Nancy, recording one of the most beloved duets of all time, "Some Velvet Morning," and a cross-country pilgrimage to the center of the country music scene. Nancy traveled to Nashville to cut her fifth album at RCA Studios, where many of the greatest country songs of all time were recorded. On Country, My Way, Nancy fuses her own personal style with country music, resulting in a new hybrid sound. Producer Lee Hazlewood called it "hippie-billy." While many people get credit for pioneering the contemporary country sound, like many milestones of the 1960s, Nancy was one of the first. Equal parts strong, sultry, and savvy, Nancy Sinatra has long been ahead of her time-both in her choices as an artist and as a businesswoman. Unapologetically, she established her own path early on and paved the way for decades of female artists to come-all while firmly maintaining control over her career, her image, and her music. In 1965, Nancy Sinatra changed the face of music, fashion, and culture.

Above the album worked the 'Classical Christmas ', and his release took place on 2024. The album has got songs with a total duration of more than an hour. A compilation is a compilation of original music.

Musical messages from Oslo, New York, Basel and Lugano – recorded between 2018 and 2022 - are juxtaposed and recombined on an absorbing recording that features Norwegian drummer Thomas Strønen solo and in a series of duets . With such partners as Craig Taborn, Chris Potter, Sinikka Langeland and Jorge Rossy, the musical frame of reference is very broad. Elements from Langeland’s’s archaic-sounding folk to Potter’s post-Coltrane saxophone and Taborn’s whirlwind modernist piano each find their place in a project that implies new threads of connectivity, new creative relationships. The album was completed and mixed by Strønen and producer Manfred Eicher at Bavaria Musikstudios in Munich in February 2023.

Taking Turns, recorded in New York’s Avatar Studio a decade ago, finds Danish guitarist Jakob Bro joined by a multi-generational cast of improvisers, highly distinctive players all. Lee Konitz, Andrew Cyrille, Bill Frisell, Jason Moran and Thomas Morgan lend their energies to a session that bypasses conventions of the “all-star” band and puts the emphasis on teamwork. Bro’s space-conscious music encourages fresh responses: an atmospheric hint, or a fragment of gentle melody, opening up new trails to explore. “My compositions are about catching a glimpse of a feeling, sketching it down and then unfolding it as we record”, said Jakob Bro at the time.

The album is a mix of own songs and Christmas classics that Gaebel interprets in his own way. The album will include a total of 13 tracks and 4 bonus tracks and will appear as a CD, vinyl, and box/fan bundle. The BossHoss, Helmut Lotti, Sabrina Weckerlin and the successful Canadian crooner Matt Dusk work as guests.

Do They Know It’s Christmas? is a single by Band Aid, a charity supergroup founded in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure. To commemorate 40 years since the original recording, a newly compiled 1CD format will raise vital funds for the Band Aid Trust.
The product features the original 1984 version, and subsequent Band Aid 20 and Band Aid 30 versions, plus the 2024 Ultimate Mix – an extraordinary new edit by Trevor Horn which mixes together vocals of the many artists who have recorded the song over the decades into one seamless whole. Here on one record are the finest voices and the greatest musicians of British rock n roll history.

This smoking organ trio recording is a first for guitarist Larry Coryell and a return to his roots. With the innovative young Hammond B-3 organist Sam Yahel and the versatile, reliably swinging drummer Paul Wertico, the guitar great breathes new life into six familiar jazz pieces, such as "Impressions", "Come Rain or Come Shine" and "Embraceable You" while also showcasing his inimitable fleet-fingered facility on three original compositions.

The boastful title is no exaggeration; this is a welcome return for the classic Chicago blues sideman, who, primarily because of the misfortune of his music being exploited by other musicians, took a self-imposed retirement for nearly 30 years. It's especially rewarding since Williams – whose work you hear on early Howlin' Wolf, Otis Spann, Bo Diddley, Billy Boy Arnold (who guests here) sides – hadn't played a lick during that time, keeping his guitar stashed under his bed. He sounds like he never put the instrument away on this album, the first cohesive disc under his own name ever. Aided by comparative youngsters Tinsley Ellis, Ronnie Baker Brooks, and Rusty Zinn, along with a 21-year-old Sean Costello, Williams holds the spotlight like the pro his is. Though well into his sixties when this was recorded in 2001, he sounds remarkably vibrant, completely confident, and totally in his element.
