Beacon was a British label run by a fascinating character named Milton Samuel. It lasted from 1968 to 1972, and specialized in hard-edged soul music made by Brits and Americans. Let's Copp a Groove: Lost UK Soul 1968-1972 collects 27 of the highlights released by this unsung, but really good, label. The best tracks combine deep soul voices, and a kind of groovy musical backing stationed halfway between soul and rock. Case in point: Jon and Jeannie's "We Got Lovin'," which features Jon and Jeannie trading lines back and forth in a soulful frenzy, while the guitar player doles out whip-smart hard rock solos behind them.

While many of the decade’s most successful UK bands (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones et al) were originally inspired and influenced by Black American soul and R&B, it could be argued that Black artists recording in Britain at the time weren’t given the exposure they deserved.

This excellent set gives one a definitive look at altoist Lee Konitz at a period of time when he was breaking away from being a sideman and a student of Lennie Tristano and asserting himself as a leader. With pianist Ronnie Ball, bassist Percy Heath, and drummer Alan Levitt, Konitz explores a variety of his favorite chord changes, some of which were disguised by newer melodies such as "Hi Beck," "Subconscious Lee," and "Sound Lee." Among the other high points of this well-recorded set are "Foolin' Myself" and a lengthy exploration of "If I Had You."

A red hot ticket at the Metropolitan Opera in 2010/2011 was Donizetti's comic gem, Don Pasquale, with Anna Netrebko reviving Norina, the part that made her a star in New York. Opera summed up the simple truth: ". . . everyone adored her". John Del Carlo's impressive singing and acting chops as the Don are given every boost by Otto Schenk's hilarious staging and James Levine's witty conducting. Leading this opera for the first time at the Met, the renowned maestro demonstrates that his gifts suit Donizetti as perfectly as Wagner. Mariusz Kwiecien and Matthew Polenzani scintillate as Malatesta and Ernesto.
