Julie London (née Peck; September 26, 1926 – October 18, 2000) was an American singer and actress whose career spanned more than 40 years. A torch singer noted for her sultry, languid contralto vocals, London recorded over thirty albums of pop and jazz standards between 1955 and 1969.

Three CD clamshell box conaining all the Jade Warrior albums issued on the legendary Vertigo label in 1971 and 1972. Formed in 1970, JADE WARRIOR were one of the most original British bands to emerge during the Progressive Rock era. Signing to Philips' progressive Vertigo label, the band recorded their self-titled debut album in March 1971. A remarkable work, 'JADE WARRIOR' would be the template upon which the band would build their unique sound - venturing stylistically between ethnic music, melodic, gentle ethereal and ambient sounds and heavier guitar driven rock. Upon it's release the album was acclaimed by critics and has since acquired legendary status for it's sheer inventiveness. In November 1971, the band's second album, 'RELEASED', was issued. For the sessions the band had now expanded to a quartet with drummer ALLAN PRICE adding a new character to the band's sound. The sessions also featured a guest appearance from saxophonist DAVE CONNORS. 'RELEASED' was a huge progression from the band's debut and featured such classic tracks as 'THREE-HORNED DRAGION KING', 'EYES ON YOU' and the epic 14-minute piece 'BARAZINBAR'. 'LAST AUTUMN'S DREAM' was the band's third and last album for Vertigo and was arguably the most fully realised album by Jade Warrior during their tenure with the label, featuring such classic tracks as 'A WINTER'S TALE', 'SNAKE', 'DARK RIVER' and 'BORNE ON THE SOLAR WIND'. This Esoteric Recordings celebrates the early years of one of Britain's most unique progressive bands and features an illustrated booklet with essay.

Belgian jazz guitar legend Philip Catherine and German bassist Martin Wind come from different generations but share a common love for melodic jazz with swing roots. On this album, the two musicians complement each other perfectly: Catherine’s playing is technically unique and never seems to stop revealing new lyrical guitar sounds, but it is not merely his technique and dexterity that set him apart. What makes him unique is his acoustic guitar sound and an improvisational style based not on other guitarists, but on some of the great horn players in jazz. Wind’s bass is always strong yet elegant and lush on this collection of standards and originals.

This first volume also contains some of his greatest and most joyous creations the immortal Country Gardens, Shepherds Hey and Molly on the Shore.
