This themed album from Quincy Jones and his orchestra contains songs from around the world, as the title suggests. "Around the World" was aimed at fans who like their quality big band music easy on the ear, for though there is some nice soloing by Clark Terry, Phil Woods, Sahib Shihab and Benny Bailey, these are primarily lushly voiced atmospheric arrangements delivered by a brilliant, airy and swinging band. Released in 1961, the LP includes several original numbers and a handful of standards. Whether catering for listeners or dancers, Quincy Jones would have it no other way.

«Si l’Histoire n’a retenu que les exploits du chasseur, c’est parce que le lion n’a pas d’historiens», écrit Jean-Yves Le Naour. À côté des grandes figures de proue, des êtres ordinaires ont eux aussi «fait» l’Histoire. Les destins des «oubliés» choisis ici éclairent d’un jour nouveau la vie politique ou sociétale du XXe siècle : la résistance allemande au nazisme à travers le portrait de Sylvin Rubinstein ; le combat pour le suffrage féminin dans l’entre-deux-guerres par Louise Weiss ; la prise de conscience écologique incarnée par René Dumont ; la révolte des prostituées emmenée par Grisélidis Réal ou encore la fronde du torero Manolete sous le franquisme…

The achievements of Quincy Delight Jones Jr. as a multi Grammy and Oscar-winning record producer, musician, songwriter, composer, arranger (as well as film and television producer) are the stuff of legend. His incredible career spans 70 years in the entertainment industry and began in the 1950's when the young man from the South Side of Chicago started out as a Jazz trumpeter before soon becoming a popular arranger and successful band leader. This exclusive 10 CD box set presents those legendary beginnings with twenty original albums that showcase Qs wide range of musical talents. The music ranges from the big band sounds of his own all-star orchestras via arrangements for trumpeter Art Farmer, on to albums he produced, arranged and conducted for singers Peggy Lee and Dinah Washington. After listening to these selections, it becomes obvious why Time magazine named the man later famous for producing the biggest hits of Michael Jacksons one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century.

"I don't know what the next record will be," Josef Zawinul said in the summer of 1972, "but it'll be something else! We've been learning every night, and we're still growing."Indeed, Sweetnighter was something else. Zawinul began to assert greater control of band, steering it away from the collective improvisation that marked its live performances toward more structured compositions emphasizing funk and groove. This was exemplified by the album's two dominant tracks, "Boogie Woogie Waltz" and "125th Street Congress," as well as the album closer, "Non-Stop Home." Other tracks were reminiscent of Weather Report's previous albums, making Sweetnighter a transition from the band's first phase to what one might call its mature phase.

It might be surprising that the Oscar and Grammy nominated gentleman behind massive inescapable hits for Miley Cyrus, The Weeknd, and Celine Dion is a classically trained impresario. However, for producer, songwriter, composer and musician STEPHAN MOCCIO, bringing a timeless aesthetic into the modern musical landscape comes naturally.

Corre implacable 1947, undécimo año triunfal del glorioso Alzamiento Nacional. Tras cumplir de cabo a rabo su condena en el último campo de concentración para prisioneros de la República, Pepe Gazuza sale como transeúnte a un país tomado por el que campan los fantasmas del hambre, la picaresca del estraperlo y la humanidad de los pobres. Sin oficio ni beneficio, Gazuza vagará por las calles de una España yerma donde todo son secundarios buscándose las habichuelas. Entre ellos Ingrid, una rutilante fatale que guarda ausencia a su misterioso marido; Petro, criada multitarea que ha dejado el pueblo para servir en la capital, donde se dejará cortejar por el fascista Alfredi o, o Prosapio Pérez, viajante de lo inverosímil y mientras, los americanos, los rusos y hasta los andorranos, acechan.

As displays of sonic excitement made with specific audiences in mind, the two Quincy Jones albums included in this set are tremendously effective performances, brilliantly recorded. Around the World was aimed at fans who like their quality big band music easy on the ear, for though there is some nice soloing by Clark Terry, Phil Woods, Sahib Shihab and Benny Bailey, these are primarily lushly voiced atmospheric arrangements delivered by a brilliant, airy and swinging band.

Moins médiatique que les autres chanteurs de son époque, Henri Tachan n'en est pas moins un fin lettré qui, comme Léo Ferré et tant d'autres, flirte avec Verlaine, Rimbaud et Baudelaire. Son goût musical pour Beethoven ou Schubert se ressent dans les sonorités de ses musiques comme dans la chanson Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert et Rossini.
