Some of Count Basie's finest recordings were cut for the Roulette label during 1957-1962, and all of his studio performances are included on this massive Mosaic ten-CD boxed set. Among the classic former LPs that are reissued here are The Atomic Mr. Basie, Basie Plays Hefti, Chairman of the Board, Everyday I Have the Blues, and Kansas City Suite. With such soloists as trumpeters Thad Jones and Joe Newman, the tenors of Frank Foster and Eddie Lockjaw Davis, Frank Wess on alto and flute, vocals by Joe Williams, and the timeless arrangements of Neal Hefti, Thad Jones, Frank Foster, Ernie Wilkins, and Frank Wess among others, this essential (but unfortunately limited-edition) set features the second Count Basie Orchestra at its very best.

As one of a select list of versatile urban artists gifted as both an instrumentalist and vocalist, Norman Brown has been front and center in the fast evolving fusion of pop, R&B and jazz music genres, capturing huge critical acclaim and fans worldwide. With his new release, Sending My Love, this incredible guitarist continues to deliver compelling soul jazz that is sure to captivate audiences around the world for years to come.

Compilation album released in Spain, remastered reissue from the original launched in 1958 dedicated to French-born flamenco guitarist -although Catalan gypsy- Ricard Baliardo (Sète, 1921), aka "Manitas de Plata '. He started to become famous playing annually in the region of the Camargue (France), where he soon was recognized among his people as a man of 'silver hands'. Only agreed to play in public 10 years after the death of the famous guitarist, also gypsy, Django Reinhardt. His popularity soared after his performances at Carnegie Hall in New York, which later catapulted him to travel the world with his guitar and his people. Manitas de Plata, a man who is illiterate, did not need to learn anything but to move his hands on the guitar. 'Manitas' probably has sold over 100 million albums worldwide. He plays his music as he breathes, as living, naturally and simplicity, but with virtuosity. The universal language of music, threshed with his fingers, has allowed him to cross all borders and let admired -as happened to Picasso to hear- over the world.
