This 10 CD set offers an exciting overview of some of the most important recordings made by American jazz stars in Paris in the Fifties. They are milestones of Modern Jazz, Bebop and Hard Bop recorded by some of the most important players of the time, including Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, Lionel Hampton, Chet Baker, Sarah Vaughan, Mary Lou Williams, Lester Young and Donald Byrd. Treated like second class citizens at home, many American jazz stars not only got more recognition and respect in the French capital, but found much better playing conditions as well. From concert-halls like "L'Olympia" to the clubs of the "Latin Quarter" they were appreciated and celebrated, and their music met with a glowing enthusiasm.

Swedish band Änglagård is part of a whole breed of young progressive rockers who have cut their teeth on King Crimson's Red. Like the other Crimson Swedes, Anekdoten, Änglagård crams angular hooks and start/stop tempos into every moment they can spare. Writing lengthy symphonic pieces, the band sound like many big '70s acts but always play with a very tough sound. Meaty bass and scorched guitar tones duel it out with organ, mellotron, and hyperactive drumming, while folky Swedish singing and flute occasionally break the tension.

2012 three CD set, the seventh volume in the So80s series, this time with an Ibiza theme. Blank & Jones searched for the biggest anthems of this magic island during the 1980s. Long time before mass clubbing started on Ibiza in the 1990s, there was a true musical melting pot creating it's very own soundtrack. The legendary KU (now known as Privilege), the Amnesia or Pacha were all hot spots for the Jet Set of the beautiful, the rich and the famous. Here comes the soundtrack for this special time with the whole range from Wham!, Sandy Marton, Bandolero and Lime, but also with the secret anthems of Ibiza like Flash & the Pan, Tullio de Piscopo, Art of Noise, Carly Simon an Tony Esposito. Celebrate the Sound of Ibiza in the 80s with Blank & Jones!
