吉姆·豪爾是一名美國爵士吉他手，作曲家和編曲家。《Premier Guitar》雜誌中曾寫道：「或許可以這樣講，爵士吉他的大樹植根於這四個名字：強戈·賴因哈特、查理·克里斯蒂安、韋斯·蒙哥馬利和吉姆·豪爾。」

這張專輯是妮娜西蒙在1967年為RCA唱片所灌錄的，這是她在RCA發行的第一張專輯，當中她唱了蓋希文的歌劇《波吉與貝絲》中的「我的男人不在了」、以及她自己創作宣揚公民權和黑人平權的招牌歌曲〈Backlash Blues〉、還有以西蒙的偶像貝西史密斯招牌歌曲改寫成的〈I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl〉、另外，原本西蒙在1962年錄過，但一直沒紅，被Animals合唱團翻唱才大紅，後來又被瓊拜雅翻唱，成為嬉皮運動招牌歌曲的〈The House of the Rising Sun〉也重新在這裡改以快節奏翻唱。這首歌原本就是民謠，鮑布狄倫在1961年也錄過。為了和她之前在別廠牌所錄的專輯風格有所區隔，西蒙這張專輯不再一人身兼鋼琴、歌手、作曲等職，而是找來專人與她合作，當中她除了演唱外，只負責鋼琴。

Dorothy Jeanne Thompson (August 6, 1932 – April 13, 1986), better known as Dorothy Ashby, was an American jazz harpist and composer.

A new album by legendary pianist and composer Ahmad Jamal is always a hotly anticipated event. But Marseille has an additional glow of excitement as it is a very personal expression of the sincere and long-standing mutual admiration that has existed between the American artist and French audiences for over six decades. The title track of the record is a love letter to the iconic Southern city whose magnificent port and dazzling light have inspired numerous artists and filmmakers over the years. In a daring departure for Jamal, it features a striking performance by French rapper Abd Al Malik. Marseille is the work of a master musician who never says more than he has to but always says enough to make the world sit up and listen.

Eartha Kitt was an American singer, actress, comedienne, dancer, and activist known for her highly distinctive singing style and her 1953 recordings of "C'est si bon" and the Christmas novelty song "Santa Baby", both of which reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

《迈尔斯戴维斯·泛蓝调调》是20世纪顶尖爵士乐手最完美的一次经典录音，透过重新数位制作呈献细腻感动的质素；也是认识史上最伟大爵士巨人Miles Davis的入门推荐，与爵士乐迷收藏的必备经典！

素有“黑暗王子”之称的小号巨擘 Miles Davis （1929-91）是一位奠定50年代酷派（Cool School）冷调风格，开创60年代末期Jazz-Rock 融合（Fusion）新乐风的先锋；受到波普（Bop）时期最具代表性萨克斯风大师Charlie Parker提携，Miles Davis由纽约52街的酒吧表演跨入大乐团，而后自组五重奏的历程，不仅绽放个人深刻色彩，更跨越肤色藩篱成就后起之秀。这张专辑除了获得企鹅爵士五星最高评价，也是各家乐评一致推荐的世纪不朽作品；自1959年发行至今届满四十周年，美国当地销售超越七十万张，全球销售高达两百万张。

“Kind Of Blue”谱写酷派爵士时期，调式爵士（modal）经典代表；由Miles Davis与作曲及钢琴家Bill Evans共同蕴织出主要行进线，以贯穿整张专辑的概念为主轴，藉着其他乐手的加入而渲染蔓延转化层次分明的无际空间。参与本专辑的乐手们在日后皆成为爵士乐界要角，而“Kind Of Blue”也是 Miles Davis五重奏巅峰时期的专辑，每一位乐手表现超高水准。中音萨克风手John Coltrane与Miles共有的灵巧思绪以纯熟的默契化作柔畅的旋律，在最具代表性曲目“So What”中，可以发现两人即兴演奏的精彩绝伦。而高音萨克斯风手“Connonball” Adderley、贝斯名将Paul Chambers和鼓手James Cobb在Miles穿针引线的前导带领，凝聚演绎技巧绝妙境界的最高张力。只出现在“Flamenco Sketches”一曲的钢琴大师Wynton Kelly，同样跟乐手们演出完美契合的对话，专辑还有未曾在黑胶唱片时收录的版本！

Original album by the Brazilian easy listening/ bossa nova great. Contains all 11 tracks from when Atlantic first issued the album in 1966, including 'The Girl From Ipanema'. Legendary Brazilian guitar genius Antonio Carlos Jobim guests on eight of the cuts. Art Farmer & Phil Woods also guest on several numbers. WEA.

As the name implies, this album consists of pieces composed with the saxophone in mind. Nine saxophonists in all (from the London Saxophonic) pitch in on the disc, which also features some piano, folk-rock vet Danny Thompson on contra bass, several percussionists, piano, and occasional ensemble vocals; Moondog himself contributes bass drum, bongos, and (as a member of the ensemble) vocals throughout. In its swaying (at times even sing-along) melodicism, intricate arrangements, and light bounce, it's strongly reminiscent of his excellent 1969 Moondog album; in fact, "Bird's Lament" makes an appearance on both records. This is more enjoyable, toe-tapping, and life-affirming than most any other jazz or avant-garde music around in the 1990s, demonstrating that Moondog's talents remain undimmed in his eighties; it's impossible to hear the ebullient choral vocals on "Paris" without smiling.
