767 Fifth Avenue

Fifth Avenue finds the groove and stays there. There has to be a story of why these 5 brothers didn't stick around a little longer. They won't make you forget the Commodores or the Temptations. But they do have a few chops. Excellent musicians. Would not surprise me if they were the house band for some label.

Liebe und Laster in der Fifth Avenue: Da ist die Hollywood-Diva Schiffer Diamond, der Beweis, dass Frauen mit Stil zeitlos sind. Da ist ihre Jugendliebe Philip, der sich statt mit ihr lieber mit jungen Models umgibt. Da ist die verzogene Lola, deren neureiche Eltern sich um ein angemessenes Appartement für ihr Töchterchen kümmern. Und Mindy, die sich mit ihren ewigen Komplexen plagt, weil sie nur im Erdgeschoß des Luxus-Towers lebt. Wird sie es schaffen, an das freie Penthouse im Top-Level zu kommen?

Fifth Avenue is a modern jazz group formed by five young Finnish musicians. They represent the top-notch of their generation in the Finnish mainstream jazz scene. The sound of the album has been influenced heavily by the spirit of New York City, where it was mixed and mastered by the legendary Dave Darlington at the Bass Hit Studios. New York famously being the ultimate melting pot of different nationalities and cultures, the group Fifth Avenue brings greetings from the Nordic wilderness to the urban atmosphere of the Big Apple. This combination comes beautifully together in their strong debut release “Tales", an unique and intriguing collection of acoustic jazz. It features original compositions by three members of the group, New York based guitarist Olli Hirvonen, pianist Tuomas J. Turunen and saxophonist Ville Vannemaa. The songs are inspired by everyday life, spiced up with interesting instrumental solos as well as inventive accompaniment by the rhythm section.”

Fifth Avenue, New York and conductor John Scott release this compelling programme of choral works by Henry Purcell which also features the acclaimed New York period ensemble Concert Royal. Recorded on period instruments, this collection of sacred works by Henry Purcell features some of the composer’s best-known choral works framed by the large scale works O sing unto the Lord, Z44 and the Te Deum in D major, Z232. Completing this collection is the organ Voluntary in G major, Z720, in a striking performance by John Scott.

One of the world’s leading liturgical choirs, the Saint Thomas Choir of Men & Boys of Fifth Avenue, New York, with their renowned director John Scott, begin a major new collaboration with Resonus Classics with this new and exciting recording of Motets by J.S. Bach. Representing a vital cornerstone of Baroque choral repertoire these seven Motets are often emotive, joyous, intensely virtuosic, and are some of the most accomplished and sublime of Bach’s many musical achievements.
