In 1968, Michel Legrand was already a renowned composer. Four years earlier, his composition for the "Umbrellas of Cherbourg" brought him fame, while the film left Cannes with a Golden Palm and even an Oscar nomination. This success therefore made him settle in Los Angeles where he rubs shoulders with Quincy Jones or Henry Mancini ("The pink Panther", "Diamonds on Sofa").

Universally regarded as the most accomplished flautist in jazz, Hubert Laws has done much more than build a bridge between jazz and classical music; he has melded his diverse influences seamlessly with a fully singular approach. Afro-Classic includes brilliant interpretations of Bach, Mozart and James Taylor plus a gorgeous version of Theme from Love Story. This timeless classic by the genre-busting poll-winning flautist features Bob James, Ron Carter, and incredible arrangements by Don Sebesky.

A sweet blend of jazz and soul from Patti Austin – and a set that's a bit different than some other CTI albums of the 70s given that it was recorded down south, at deep soul powerhouse Muscle Shoals! The sound is surprisingly rootsy on a few numbers and warmly jazzy on others and Patti's still got all the polish she picked up from her years with Quincy Jones, but she's also stepping out a bit more as an artist with a stronger emotional palette. Austin works with some great original material that includes the tracks "(Ooh-Wee) He's Killing Me" and "I Can't Stop" as well as surprising covers, like Squeeze's "Another Nail From My Heart", Isaac Hayes' "Body Language", and Bob Seeger's "We've Got Tonight".

John Pizzarelli, one of the most celebrated performers bringing popular standards to a new generation, pays homage to Frank Sinatra with the release of Dear Mr. Sinatra. Early in his career, Pizzarelli opened for Sinatra on tour. His father, the jazz guitar legend Bucky Pizzarelli, played on many of Sinatra's seminal recordings. Focusing on songs that were specifically written for 'Ol' Blue Eyes' and also featuring The Clayton- Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, Dear Mr. Sinatra is in many ways the most personal of all the Sinatra tributes available. Dear Mr. Sinatra, follows Pizzarelli's highly-acclaimed tributes to Nat King Cole (Dear Mr. Cole and P.S. Mr. Cole), Antonio Carlos Jobim (Bossa Nova) and The Beatles (John Pizzarelli Meets The Beatles).

It’s ‘not only a fascinating musical snapshot of Daniels' early years playing with Kellaway, it introduces the larger jazz world to rare compositions written by the two’ (John Murph).
