During four marathon recording sessions in 1953-55, Norman Granz recorded Art Tatum playing 119 standards, enough music for a dozen LPs. The results have been recently reissued separately on eight CDs and on this very full seven-CD box set. Frankly, Tatum did no real advance preparation for this massive project, sticking mosty to concise melodic variations of standards, some of them virtual set pieces formed over the past two decades. Since there are few uptempo performances, the music in this series has a certain sameness after awhile but, heard in small doses, it is quite enjoyable. A special bonus on this box (and not on the individual volumes) are four numbers taken from a 1956 Hollywood Bowl concert.

World Gone Wild is a collection of all the Doro albums that were released by Universal (with bonus tracks where available). The former vocalist with Warlock has had a 20 year plus career and these albums represent some of her finest works – presented for the first time in one set this collection is a great starting point for the casual and fervent fan of this brand of Teutonic Heavy Metal. All the albums have been re-mastered and the box contains a booklet with notes by Classic Rock’s Malcolm Dome.

Jazz accordion-master, Van Damme plays much more than cool/accordion mush. In fact, he was an innovator during 60s post-bop. He is an unsung hero…

Angry Samoans are an early Los Angeles, CA hardcore punk band, formed by rock critics "Metal" Mike Saunders and Gregg Turner after the demise of Vom, with fellow critic Richard Meltzer in 1978. Along with X, Black Flag, Fear and the Circle Jerks, the savagely satirical Angry Samoans rode the first wave of Los Angeles punk…

With a lyricism and warmth to his sound that was without equal, Arthur Stewart Art Farmer will always be remembered as one of the finest trumpet and flugelhorn players in jazz. Continually evolving in style and approach throughout his career, his playing was noted for its distinctive phrasing, letting the beat run ahead of him rather in the manner of Billie Holiday's vocals". Farmer produced a number records that remain among the most defining of the jazz genre, and which often featured him performing alongside other legendary musicians, including Benny Golson, Gigi Gryce, Horace Silver, Jim Hall and Sonny Rollins. 1961 saw one of the most important shifts in Art Farmer s career. Having played primarily trumpet up until that point, Farmer switched to the softer tone of the flugelhorn, and for the rest of his life it would remain his instrument of choice.

Funky loungey funky breakbeat disco retro fun. Frank Popp Ensemble needs to be heard and in a better world this music would be all over the place. This whole album kicks, if you don't love "Love Is On Our Side" immediately you have no pulse. Big epic 60s-early-70s sound but still up to date, these guys have the chops…
