Long lost collaboration by Glenn Hughes and Robin George, originally recorded in 1989. Mastered from the original tapes.
The recording industry of the 20th century saw stars become legends and albums become icons of popular culture. Completed in a total of only four days and released in January 1956, Glenn Gould s début recording of Bach s Goldberg Variations is without doubt one of the most significant and successful classical recordings in the history of the gramophone record.
Transformation is the new recording by Grammy Award-winning musician and composer Ted Nash in partnership with Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress Glenn Close. This star-studded, multidisciplinary masterwork explores the complex theme of transformation. Close curated the literary material and spoken word performances, adding her voice to selections with her signature gravitas and acuity. She draws from a wealth of experience; both her own and that of her courageous and fiercely talented guests. In co-imagining Transformation, Nash is the quintessential partner - his compositional prowess assimilates and morphs almost any concept into unforgettable music. The palpitating and melodically sweeping music of Transformation brings us to the heights of catharsis and accompanies us through the lowest reaches of the psyche with sounds both exhilarating and poignant. Nash embraces the full range of voices in the orchestra as well as the full spectrum of emotions they inspire. Special guests: Wayne Brady, Amy Irving, Matthew Stevenson, Eli Nash, Wynton Marsalis & Members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
Resonate is the fourteenth studio album by English hard rock singer Glenn Hughes. The album was released in Japan on 28 October 2016 by Ward Records, and worldwide on 4 November 2016 by Frontiers Records. Hughes has said of the album: "It's possibly the heaviest record I've ever made. I don't want to confuse it with horns-up heavy; it's not metal. But it's definitely f–-ing heavy. It's dense. It's dark. There's some aggression on this record. Every bloody track is begging to be played live." All tracks written by Glenn Hughes, except track 12 which was written by Gary Moore.
The Allnighter is the second solo studio album by Glenn Frey, the guitarist and co-lead vocalist for the Eagles. The album was released in mid 1984 on MCA in the United States and the United Kingdom, two years after Frey's modestly successful debut album, No Fun Aloud and four years after the demise of the Eagles. It was and still is Frey's most successful solo album throughout his whole solo career, having reached #22 on the Billboard charts, and releasing two Top 20 singles with "Smuggler's Blues" and "Sexy Girl". The album achieved Gold status in the US. It is generally regarded as the culmination of the smoother, more adult-oriented sound of Frey's solo work.
With his solo career fading, Glenn Frey got serious on his fourth album, but many of the album's sentiments sounded strange coming from him. "He Took Advantage" was subtitled "Blues for Ronald Reagan," but it came more than three years after Reagan's retirement, and Frey's 1984 song "Better in the U.S.A." could have served as Reagan's campaign song. On "I've Got Mine," Frey sang about how people in limousines don't care about "us," but when was the last time he was on the outside of a limousine looking in? Frey was out of his league going for the kind of philosophical/political territory better handled by his old partner Don Henley. So, although Strange Weather signaled a new commitment by Frey to his career, it missed the charts entirely. (The album concludes with "Part of Me, Part of You," an Eagles-like tune used in the 1991 film Thelma and Louise.)
Am 14. Januar 1966 befand sich New York, unter einer Schneedecke, fest im Griff von Minus-Temperaturen. Doch als Elisabeth Schwarzkopf die Columbia-Studios betrat, um mit Glenn Gould Lieder von Richard Strauss aufzunehmen, war es nicht etwa nur mollig warm, es muss eine Bullenhitze geherrscht haben. Der dauerfröstelnde Kanadier Gould hatte die Thermostate aufdrehen lassen – und daran sollte sich zum Leidwesen der Stimmbänder der Schwarzkopf nichts ändern. So hört man die Sopranistin immer wieder mal kräftig durchkeuchen, mit den Worten „I´m full of Schleim!“
Glenn Miller's reign as the most popular bandleader in the U.S. came relatively late in his career and was relatively brief, lasting only about three and a half years, from the spring of 1939 to the fall of 1942. But during that period he utterly dominated popular music, and over time he has proven the most enduring figure of the swing era, with reissues of his recordings achieving gold record status 40 years after his death. Miller developed a distinctive sound in which a high-pitched clarinet carried the melody, doubled by a saxophone section playing an octave lower, and he used that sound to produce a series of hits that remain definitive examples of swing music.
