Porgy and Bess is a 1959 album by Sammy Davis Jr. of selections from George Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess co-starring Carmen McRae.

Few artists have a voice you can spot from note one. Leah Blevins is one of them.

This album showcases a flamboyant collection of 20th-century Azerbaijani popular song classics, fusing Western traditions, Azerbaijani folk music, and American jazz.

Not to be confused with the nefarious conglomeration of evil-doers Spectre, the nemesis of super-spy James Bond, is the new Brazilian band Spektra. The band was created by vocalist BJ (Tempestt, Jeff Scott Soto, Danger Angel) with a desire to revisit some of his own classic rock influences like Journey, Foreigner, and Winger. The result is Spektra's debut album, Overload, for Frontiers Music, and produced by Jeff Scott Soto…

Sunnyside Records presents the second boxed set of recordings from the archive of pianist Joe Castro, a diverse collection featuring incredible and never heard performances from legends like Paul Bley, Paul Motian, Leroy Vinnegar, Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones and many more.

The experimental elucubrations of musicians with insatiable passion. A sweet madness.

Recorded on the cusp of our voyage into isolation, Wordless Voices sings songs from the collective unwinding at the heart of improvised music. The 4 tracks traverse, intertwine and disentangle myriad territories of microtonality, pulse, melody, and noise and present an incorruptible expression of group improvisation and, just as significant, a remembrance of collective listening shared by audience and performer.

A superb debut album from Saga; Prog-rockers with a melodic vein of songwriting already fully formed, and a vocalist possessing a velvety yet urgent and powerful voice…

Moritz von Oswald Trio returns with Dissent, a striking new album that explores the scope of jazz and dance music within abstracted electronic music. It follows the Sounding Lines LP from 2015 with a further explorative and daring sound, which dives through broad ambiences, uptempo dance and jazz sensibilities. As ever with albums from the Moritz von Oswald Trio, this new album, recorded during November and December 2020 in Berlin, emerged from a series of long extended jams then edited down.

The very talented Mr Vanbergen returns to Music For Dreams with Coloured Cones, inspired at large by Ghent filmmaker and painter Michael Borremans. With Reinhard Vanbergen's days since Das Pop entering him into a world of soundtrack production for movies, short films, documentaries and commercial work, Coloured Cones seems exactly one of those. With little information to surface of this release we can only assume this is the music of a film we've yet to see (or have we?), with the storylines and motifs his Belgian counterparts themes coming through in folky ambient strings, plucked percussion and wavering, surf guitars. A fragmentary John Fahey of the spaced-out cinematic future.

As the core member of the 13th Floor Elevators and an undisputed pioneer of psychedelic rock, the ’60s were thrilling times for Erickson. His band riding high in their native Texas and beyond, the howling single ‘You’re Gonna Miss Me’ was his calling card, but Erickson’s ‘60s ended in the stuff of nightmares.

The Jazz Kings was established in 2017 and has now become one of the most sought after jazz bands on the Gold Coast and beyond. The band is made up of well known established musicians with Nicole Parker-Brown as our main vocalist.

Queen guitarist Brian May's first complete attempt at a solo album, Back to the Light, focuses on the hard rock sound that Queen often abandoned in the 1980s. While obviously sounding similar to some of the work by his former band, May's path is far more hard-edged and emotionally punched than the majority of Queen's work…

This one-off disco outing was recorded by Don Ray, an arranger who is best known for his work with disco maestros like Alec Costandinos and Cerrone (who produced this outing and also co-wrote many of the songs). It is a slick, ornate slab of Eurodisco that infuses its ornate orchestrations and pulsating rhythms with a layer of Kraftwerk-style programmed synthesizers…

ert Kaempfert (born Berthold Heinrich Kämpfert, 16 October 1923 – 21 June 1980) was a German orchestra leader, multi-instrumentalist, music producer, arranger, and composer.
