Frisson N 43

A Limited Edition, Original Jackets collection showcasing the artistry of the magnificent American soprano, Kathleen Battle. Kathleen Battle enraptured opera audiences of the 1980s and 1990s. Here was a lyric soprano combining unsurpassable beauty of tone with a keen musical intelligence, a way with words and a communicative warmth that drew listeners to Strauss and spirituals alike. She has the easy phrasing of a great jazz singer combined with the breath, breadth and precise projection of a trained voice. James Levine coached her at the Metropolitan Opera, and when he accompanied her at the 1984 Salzburg Festival and DG recorded the recital as Battle's debut solo album, nothing less than a phenomenon was launched.

La Maison du Duke is proud to present a collection of unpublished recordings of Duke Ellington, which come from an important stock of Ellington archives (Clavié collection), acquired by the association, which only a few collectors had access to today . The CDs are reserved for members of the Maison du Duke association and are not intended to be marketed.

A year after the release of the seminal Electro-Blues Volume 1, and following a summer of touring the chicken wire-covered stage around loads of the UK’s top festivals, we are delighted to present Electro Blues Vol 2. Continuing the 21st Juke joint experience, this must-have compilation features luminaries of the scene like Son of Dave alongside Freshly favourites Swing Republic and Future Shape of Side, rounded off with bonafide classic originals from Etta James and Booker T and the MGs…

On the first full album in seven years from the softly psychedelic British band, they’ve left something behind in the quest to recapture the essence of the Clientele.
