Bobby Nunn is an American R&B producer, songwriter and vocalist, best known for his Top 15 US Billboard R&B chart hit single, "She's Just a Groupie." Nunn's big opportunity came through his association with Rick James. Nunn played keyboards and sang background on some of James's early Motown recordings. As a solo artist, Bobby Nunn co-produced his 1982 debut Motown album, Second to Nunn, with Winston Monseque. He wrote or co-wrote all but one of the tracks. The album was successful, hitting #14 on the R&B charts.

Sylvie Vartan is a French pop institution, as popular today as when she first took the y-y scene by storm in 1962 with the first of a half century-worth of hits. The vivacious and always stylish Vartan was also a pioneer amongst the new breed of French female artists, crossing the Atlantic several times in the early 60s to record. She proved remarkably adept at tackling material in English, which resulted in many superb recordings chanted in a husky, compelling accent.

Humeur lunaire, poésie, légéreté et simplicité, tels pourraient être les adjectifs qui viennent en tête immédiatement quand on sort de l'écoute de cet excellent résumé de la carrière de l'un des plus brillant et authentique chanteur français contemporain.

A sample of friendly jazzy affinity between real Swing players with the virtues that should have to jam. These rare transatlantic dates issued by HRS & Vogue performs Basie-ite trumpeter Clayton (for whom Stanley Dance coined the term "Mainstream") with solid feelings of Tiny Grimes, Dicky Wells-Trummy Young, Don Byas, George Johnson and young pianist Billy Taylor, or French cats like Alix Combelle & André Persiany in four sessions that can be considered among the final small-group swing events of the classic era.

The Ambient Visitor (Brin Coleman) is a prolific ambient, shoegaze musician and producer from Manchester, UK. Quietly drifting through the clear night sky. A cool breeze rustles through the trees and the stars shine brightly. One continuous generative ambient drone. The glassy sound you hear on this album is just that, a recording of a Chimay beer glass that produces an amazing clear and prolonged tone when struck.

One of the all-time great tenor saxophonists, Stan Getz was known as "The Sound" because he had one of the most beautiful tones ever heard. Getz, whose main early influence was Lester Young, grew to be a major influence himself, and to his credit he never stopped evolving…

With ‘Maa’, his debut album for Disco Gecko, LO18 has crafted a mystical musical marriage between the mechanical and natural worlds. Finding inspiration in singular sounds, whether from the environment or an instrument, Lounela combines his love of non-rhythmic ambience and slow, tiny movements with that of groovy rhythms and simple pop hooks. The result is a refreshing collection of tracks, which flow from melancholy to melody and back again, with plenty of unique flourishes along the way.

Duke Ellington was at the height of his popularity during the 1940s; at the same time, he was enjoying a creative peak and fronting one of the finest organizations he'd ever assembled, including trumpeters Cootie Williams, Ray Nance, and later Rex Stewart and Harold "Shorty" Baker, trombonists Lawrence Brown, Tricky Sam Nanton, and Tommy Dorsey, saxophonists Johnny Hodges and Ben Webster, Jimmy Blanton and Oscar Pettiford on bass, and drummers Sonny Greer and Sid Catlett. The material here includes Ellington's famous versions of "Take the 'A' Train," "Caravan," "The 'C' Jam Blues," "Mood Indigo," and "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)."
