"Music fit for kings - The Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles – set up by the French Gaovernment to research and perform French music from the years between 1600 and 1800 – have gathered together 20 CDs worth of alluring material, most of it from live recordings made last autumn by Radio France at concerts in various rooms of the Versailles palace…..for anyone who loves French Baroque and Classical music, this box is a cast-iron must have."

Gramophone Magazine, August 2008

"A monumental achievement, this is essential listening - not just for classical fans, but for anyone who cares remotely for French culture."

Waltz Club album by Didier Lockwood was released Mar 27, 2006 on the Universal Distribution label. Waltz Club CD music contains a single disc with 16 songs. The accordion and violin are the favorite instruments of jazz in French. Stephane Grappelli and Marcel Azzola are two of the pioneers of this tradition. I paid tribute to Stephane Grappelli in my "Tribute to Stephane Grappelli" and I could not forget the "Great" Marcel Azzola with beaded and poetic phrasing…

Songs from Ms. Oxford, Bodleian Library, Canonici Misc. 213. The Dutch recorder player Kees Boeke is a busy bee. From sunny Tuscany he produces, together with soprano Jill Feldman, not only his own olive oil and wine, but also his own CDs with Olive Music. Since 2003 CDs with new but especially old music have appeared here. An old love of Boeke is the music of around 1400, and this CD is also dedicated to this. And it is these unknown others who get all the attention here. They will be more than happy with this, because as always the musicians around Boeke deliver top performances. The singers Zsuzsu Tóth and Carlos Mena are exemplarily accompanied in their graceful but extremely difficult lines by fiddles, harp and flute. The thoughtful approach of Boeke also ensures that we hear all the refined subtleties in music.

Avid Jazz continues with its Four Classic Albums series with a re-mastered 2CD release from Mal Waldon, complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details. “Mal 2”; “Left Alone”; “Mal 1” and “Mal 4”.
Although possibly best known as a fine composer and arranger, Mal Waldron, born New York City in 1925 started his musical career playing alto sax until he ran into a guy they called “Bird” and smartly changed over to the piano! Incredibly Mal had over 100 albums released under his own name during his long career and featured in countless more as composer, arranger and pianist. His name has probably appeared on more albums in the extensive Avid Jazz catalogue than any other musician! It would probably take less time and space to name the musicians Mal hasn’t played with than has! In 1956 he was recommended by Jackie McLean to take the chair as house pianist for the famed Prestige label…
