This U.K. best-of features the versatile 20th-century singer and actress Ethel Waters, who is heard here with 1930s and '40s recordings of some of her most popular pieces. Among the tracks are the title song from the hit musical CABIN IN THE SKY, in which she starred in both theater and movie versions; W.C. Handy's "St Louis Blues," which she was reputed to have been the first to perform; and a show-stopping version of Irving Berlin's "Supper Time." ~ AllMusic Review by AllMusic

Michael Gibbs And The NDR Bigband s Back In The Days is a never before released audiophile recording of this great jazz composer and arranger in a program of original modern Jazz plus three specially arranged classics recorded in separate sessions in 1995, 2002 and 2003. The legendary 'Brit-jazz' composer and arranger Michael Gibbs was born in 1937 in Zimbabwe and was originally a trombonist as well. Gibbs began to concentrate on writing and arranging because performing solos terrified him! Starting in the late 60s, he recorded a series of highly acclaimed and influential albums featuring many of the most prominent British-based Jazz players who, like Michael, were beginning to flirt with Jazz/Rock. Since the 80s, he has mostly done arrangements and orchestrations for major names such as Joni Mitchell, Pat Metheny, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Whitney Houston, Peter Gabriel, and Sister Sledge among many others, while too infrequently recording his own music.

The sole lived member of The Ramones still performing well into the 21st century, Marc Bell, a.k.a. Marky Ramone, helms this punky marathon double-CD "Best of" that includes all songs from his late-90s outings with The Intruders, and even more. The second CD is devoted to new recordings of Ramones standards, including "Rockaway Beach", "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "The KKK Took My Baby Away"…
