On May 5th 1975, Elvis performed a concert in aid of the McComb tornado victims at the State Fair Coliseum, Jackson, Mississippi. Elvis raised $108,860 to help residents who were affected by the devastation. The audio for this show is damaged beyond repair. However, 'Sprit Of Jackson, MS' includes two other shows from the State Fair Coliseum. Just over a month after the charity show, Elvis performed in Jackson again and this show is featured on Disc 2. Disc 1 stays at the same venue for a concert given in September 1976. 'Sprit Of Jackson, MS' is a 2-CD digipack.

The two anniversary concerts with excerpts from baroque operas by Handel, Rameau, Purcell, Vivaldi and Campra now appear as a live recording on the album "20 ans - Une nouvelle fête Baroque!"

Homage to the powerful was nothing unusual in the Baroque era; Thomas Selle, however, took it a little further: he paid tribute to several members of his prince’s family with musical “laudations”. Selle combined the compendium with “little sacred concerts”, for secular power and religion went hand in hand. These concerts are more concerned with the everyday worries of the rural population, who hoped for consolation in religion. Thomas Sella’s work thus occupies a special position. The story is told on different levels, Neo-Latin poetry meets Bible verses, combined in a highly intellectual way with subtexts and set to moving music. It unites: longing for peace and the romance of chivalry, religiosity and absolutism, cries of triumph and contemplation, archaism and humanism, pathos and charity, luxury and humility. Thomas Selle covers the entire spectrum of human nature in all its contradictions. Thus, this work remains highly topical even in our time.

Genre: Jazz / Label: Grady Nichols, Ltd.

Grady Nichols From the time he picked up his first saxophone in the sixth grade, Grady Nichols fell in love with the instrument. Raised in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, Nichols studied under legendary saxophonist Joe Davis in his high-school years. After graduating from John Brown University, Nichols moved to Tulsa and became recognized on the scene for his mix of jazz and gospel hues. In 1996, he released his debut album, Between You and Me, which was mainly a live recording. The following year saw him release Mysterious Intentions. Having performed or shared the stage with everyone from the O'Jays and Bill Champlin to Herb Alpert and Huey Lewis & the News, the musician perfected his craft and became one of the new stars on the jazz scene. In 2001, he released In the Fullness of Time and quickly returned to the studio to record his fourth album, Sophistication. When not performing on land, Nichols has performed on various cruise lines. He has appeared on the gospel television show Hour of Power and has remade the Star Trek theme, which impressed William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. The performer has also hosted an annual charity concert, which has seen performers including the Beach Boys. He has also performed at the World Pulse Festival in Indiana.

The album completes Liszt's six Consolations with new transcriptions by Maya Magub to complement the famous Lento placido arranged by Nathan Milstein. With extraordinary key and mood contrasts, each piece now sits within the whole, as Liszt intended. Milstein’s transcription, in the middle of the set, is now framed as in Liszt's original, to greater emotional impact. These works move from profound simplicity to virtuosic turbulence and wistful charm.Complementing the set of Consolations, Magub and Huang bring together other well-known reflective musical gems to offer consolation of some form. Many of their choices were inspired by audience favourites from performances for UK-based charity Everyone Matters, which funds life-enriching concerts in care homes and hospices. When combined, the emotional weight of these pieces is even greater. The performers, too, drew great consolation from their programme and the ability to communicate with an audience despite the creative restrictions of pandemic lockdowns.

A wonderfully groovy set – every bit as great as you might guess from the title and the cover – and the very first installment in the now-legendary Mood Mosaic series! The set's one of the few to bring together tunes from the groovier side of the spectrum at the end of the 60s – work from British, French, American, and German sources – all awash in a great blend of funky, easy, and pop-oriented modes! There's a nicely trippy feel throughout – and titles include "Hascisch Party" by George Garvarenz, "Kiss This" by Claude Denjean, "Acka Raga" by Shocking Blue, "Mas Que Nada" by Luiz Enriquez, "En Melody" by Serge Gainsbourg, "Love For Sale" by Marian McPartland, "Batucada" by Phil Crewe, "Marins Armins Amant Ou Maris" by Michel Legrand, and "Sitar Beat" by Klaus Doldinger. © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

The Doors mark the moment when the American rock underground of the 1960s came crashing into the mainstream.
The group's massive influence on the course of rock music may been overshadowed by decades of lionization of their late lead singer Jim Morrison, whose early death wound up being a pivotal part of their legacy.

The most compelling arc in the story of a major pop act is always the one where their sound deepens and matures, with the band finally balancing who they are with who the label wants them to be. From the start, Little Mix have been on a mission to perfect this balance, countering their televised coronation as winners of U.K.'s The X Factor in 2011 with albums that showcase their soulful voices and knack for multi-part harmony with believably righteous feminist and sex-positive messages. Released in 2018, the aptly titled LM5 feels like the apotheosis of this journey, and once again presents the group as an empowered pop force to be reckoned with.
