Blues / Rhythm & Blues

Arthur Gunter, a seemingly obscure blues singer will never be forgotten because he holds a unique place in American pop history. His first recording, 'Baby Let's Play House' in 1954 for Excello Records of Nashville became one of the first recordings by Elvis Presley. This is the first time both sides of his Excello singles have been collected together in chronological order and the quality of these sessions are all exciting and typical of the kind of blues popular in the south.
Listen to the sounds of Arthur Gunter and wonder at the impression it must have had on the young Elvis Presley - stunning by all accounts. This collection is a must for blues and R&B fans.

Delicatessen was created in 2006 with the partnership of Beto Callage, a jazz lover and researcher, and Carlos Badia, a local musician, who discovered in the delicate voice of Ana Krüger the possibility to fusion jazz and bossa nova. They invited the musicians Mano Gomes (drums) and Nico Bueno (bass) to create the group. Delicatessen’s show has surprised and delighted many different audiences. This enchantment is the result of a perfect chemistry created between a singer of enormous talent and empathy and the public, but which is also valued by the arrangements of the group and inspired by the instrumental and harmonic richness of Brazilian music and jazz. The shows bring as a special guest Luiz Mauro Filho on the piano.

Big Joe Turner was a blues singer like no other, and he was able to work in an astonishing number of styles and settings, from jazz, swing, and boogie-woogie to jump blues, early R&B, and rock & roll, and even bop and straight pop, without ever betraying his talent. This four-disc, 71-track set collects several of Turner's earliest recordings from various labels, beginning with 1938’s “Roll ‘Em Pete” and running up to 1951, when Turner signed with Atlantic Records.

Reggae / Roots Reggae / Ska / Rocksteady

Cornell Campbell is one of an elite group of Jamaican reggae singers who’ve weathered the changes throughout the music’s development – in his case, from the ska era to right up to date – whilst retaining their relevance. Witness his recent alliance with UK Afrobeat / reggae band The Soothsayers or Jazmine Sullivan’s R & B hit Need U Bad, which sampled his classic 'Queen Of The Minstrel' – a song that still sounds fresh more than thirty years later.

It's My Time may be Percy Strother's best record yet, capturing his explosive soul-blues in all of its raging intensity. Truth be told, Strother hasn't really ever given a bad performance on record, but the key to the album's success is that he has a set of terrific original songs which effectively showcase his raging, soulful roar and his blistering guitar. This is raw soul, with little of the slickness that distinguishes latter-day retro-soul – and that's why it's worth hearing.
