If you’re a longtime jazz or Sonny Rollins fan, you’re probably already aware of the Rollins Road Show Compilations of his live performances that he chooses himself.

Despite the co-billing, Sete only appears on the second half of the album, leaving the Guaraldi trio to knock out a crisp series of standard pop tunes of the time ("I'm a Loser," "People," "More") and two memorable Guaraldi originals ("Nobody Else," "El Matador") in its patented mainstream and Latin modes in the first half. When Sete turns up, the set goes all-Brazilian as the two display their blended, intertwined teamwork for the third and last time on records in "Favela" and a brace of tunes from Black Orpheus. Though it is only a partial collaboration, this album has a bit more fire than their previous ones, possibly due to the live factor.

Christian Thielemanns reading of Wagners complete Ring Cycle at the Wiener Staatsoper in 2011 was universally hailed as one of the greatest Wagnerian events of the last half-century and is now being released as a beautiful box set containing 14 CDs of the four Ring operas and 2 DVDs featuring four introductory films to each opera.

Tomes are available annotating the importance of this recording. The musical and social impact of Miles Davis, his collaborative efforts with Gil Evans, and in particular their reinvention of George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess are indeed profound. However, the most efficient method of extricating the rhetoric and opining is to experience the recording…

This hard bop album from saxophonist Jackie McLean, recorded and released in 1960, features musicians Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Paul Chambers on bass, drummer Art Taylor and pianist Walter Bishop, Jr. who also contributes two of the six songs here. "Capuchin Swing" is one of McLean's earliest albums for Blue Note, where he would remain under contract until 1967.

Featuring Jackie McLean on alto sax, Walter Davis Jr. on piano, Herbie Lewis on bass and Billy Higgins on drums, "Let Freedom Ring" has been widely acclaimed as core collectors album. Recorded in 1962, just prior to the trailblazing album "One Step Beyond", this release marked the beginning of a shift toward a more modern sound for McLean.

"Destination… Out!" is one of saxophonist Jackie McLean's best album, full of complexity that demonstrates the his ability as a writer, arranger, and instrumentalist. Together with its predecessor, "One Step Beyond", this 1963 session is considered one of Jackie McLean's best, to a great extent due to the stellar quintet members joining him. Trombonist Grachan Moncur III and vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson both played on "One Step Beyond", their musical chemistry with McLean so strong he invited them back for this album. The quintet is rounded out by Larry Ridley on bass and drummer Roy Haynes. Moncur III also contributes three out of the four songs here while McLean wrote the fourth, "Kahlil The Prophet".

A hard rock band from Newcastle, England, Geordie is mostly known for their lead vocalist, Brian Johnson, who would later join AC/DC. In 1972 and 1973, they had a few hits in the U.K., including the number six single "All Because of You" and "Can You Do It," which reached number 13. Their sound was influenced by British rock bands of the day such as Led Zeppelin, as well as some glam stompers, with Johnson's distinctively abrasive singing strongly in evidence…

The best recording of Don Quixote I've ever heard, and this work has had some fine recordings. Karajan, always a superb Strauss conductor, shapes a coherent narrative such that one's attention never flags.

The Rolling Stones release a new version of their smash 1968 hit “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and its relatively obscure B-Side “Child of the Moon”. Both tracks are newly remastered by twelve-time Grammy-winning mastering engineer Bob Ludwig!

First off if you don't know, this has to be the most underrated album of all time, by any artist. It is probably neglected since it came out two years after 'Best of' which has his most famous songs.

In their debut recording for harmonia mundi, the young viola prodigy Timothy Ridout and his musical accomplice Frank Dupree celebrate the power of love, with selections from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet, performed in Borisovsky’s popular arrangement, and with their own transcription of Schumann’s Dichterliebe.
