Lady Farmer

A small guide for those seeking a life of beauty, simplicity, and sustainability.

"Big Blues" finds flugelhornist Art Farmer and guitarist Jim Hall pairing up for one of their first sessions together since their collaborations in the mid-60s and they literally don't miss a beat. The unique quintet project is rounded out by Mike Mainieri (vibraphone), Michael Moore (bass) and Steve Gadd (drums) and the results are as relaxed as they are lyrical.

Commenced in late 1973 but forgotten about and then abandoned in favour of the songs that became 1974’s As I See It Now, Melanie’s Autumn Lady is a great lost album. Aside from a few songs that became singles, such as ‘Bitter Bad’ and her cover of ‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow?’, the material is entirely unheard. The record, as the American singer-songwriter originally conceived it, is pieced together by her manager Dave Thompson.

Mylène Farmer is a Canadian-born French pop superstar who rose to fame in the 1980s and topped the charts time and time again for decades thereafter. Known for giving precious few interviews and doing little to no promotion, she is a deeply mysterious figure with a cult following of fans around the world. Videos and concerts are an integral part of her musical act and its inclination toward taboo subject matters such as sex and death.
