Charlie Hunter's Everybody Has a Plan Until They Get Punched in the Mouth is not only his first recording for a major label in nine years, but his first with a larger-than-trio-sized band since 2003. His personnel include drummer Bobby Previte, trombonist Curtis Fowlkes (who both played on 2015's Let the Bells Ring On and 2003's Right Now Move), and cornetist Kirk Knuffke. The album's title paraphrases a quote by former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson. It's a metaphorical reference to the contrast between an envisioned plan for living and the reality that transpires later.

Horton was tragically underrecorded as a bandleader; this album certainly attests to his talents in that regard, whether romping through a joyous "Everybody's Fishin'" or elegantly exmaining the tonal possibilities of the Duke Ellington chestnut "Don't Get Around Much Anymore." John Nicholas provides sympathetic backing on both guitar and piano, and Kaz Kazanoff is the stellar saxman.

2009 compilation from the Glam popsters. This holiday-themed release brings together some of the band's best loved hits (including, of course, 'Merry Xmas Everybody'), creating the perfect Rock compilation for your annual Christmas party. With their unique blend of Pop-perfect Rock 'n' Roll, outrageous flamboyance and sense of fun, Slade are one of the best loved British bands of all time. Since forming in 1966, they notched up 23 Top 20 singles (including six #1s) and six hit albums. In the early '70s, Slade were, without doubt, the biggest band in the UK charts: they scored an incredible eleven Top 5 singles between 1971 and 1974 alone. Features 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now', 'C'mon Feel the Noize' and 'Skweeze Me Pleeze Me'.

Pianist Freddie Redd has not recorded all that much during his 45-year career, but most of his records have been special events. This particular set has eight of Redd's tightly arranged compositions being performed by a fine sextet that also features tenor-saxophonist Teddy Edwards, altoist Curtis Peagler and trombonist Phil Ranelin.
