Oscar Peterson - Motions & Emotions (1969/2014) [Official Digital Download 24bit/88,2kHz] Download

Recorded in 1969, Motions & Emotions from Oscar Peterson is a bit of a departure from what the famed pianist was doing back in those days. Featuring lush orchestral arrangements by Claus Ogerman, known for his work with Frank Sinatra and more recently, Diana Krall, the album shows off Peterson and his trio members Bucky Pizzarelli on guitar and Bobby Durham on drums performing a wide range of cover songs, from the Beatles to Bacharach, Bobby Gentry to bossa nova.

Avril Lavigne - Head Above Water (2019) [Official Digital Download 24bit/44,1kHz] Download

For people who witnessed Avril Lavigne’s entrance into the music world with 2002’s Let Go, it might be surprising to hear that Avril Lavigne, in 2019, listens to jazz and soul music all day every day: Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, and Frank Sinatra, to name a few. Those interests have spilled over into the 34-year-old musician’s latest record, Head Above Water. “I get a little jazzy on the album,” she tells EW. “I needed to evolve musically and not do the same pop-rock thing over and over again.”

Water is also a departure from Lavigne’s 2013 self-titled work, trading in guitar and live drums for a more stripped-down, less pop-oriented experience. While there are exceptions — the power ballad “Head Above Water” and the playful, empowerment anthem “Dumb Blonde” — Lavigne instead offers a resilient project crafted around her vocals.

Art Van Damme – Mit Art Van Damme in San Francisco (1966/2015) [Official Digital Download 24bit/88,2kHz]

Studio Masters By admin · July 8, 2022 · Comments off

The 1966 With Art Van Damme in San Francisco was the first of some 16 recordings Van Damme would make with Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer’s MPS. As had become his habit at this point in his career when he was on the road, the Chicago-centered Van Damme played with a local rhythm section. In this case, he picked the cream of the San Fran crop, musicians who had worked with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Stan Getz, Nat “King” Cole, and Benny Goodman. And with vibes player John Ray and guitarist Paul Miller joining Van Damme on the front line, Van Damme’s signature sound is intact. There’s a tasty mix of 12 standards and originals, with sizzling up-tempo versions of Old Black Magic and Runnin’ Wild. Van Damme runs virtuoso arpeggios on a beautiful interpretation of the ballad Here’s that Rainy Day, and he smokes a solo on the medium tempo early bop classic Robbin’s Nest. Two Van Damme originals grace the set, the minor key Ode to Cleavage with its mysterioso feel, and the jazzy Playing Around with the Blues. Van Damme plays with combination of virtuosity and economy, saying what he wants to say and not a note more.

Arthur ‘Artie’ Malvin was a composer and vocalist who was the baritone member of The Crew Chiefs, and he also sang with Glenn Miller’s band. Following Miller’s death in an aircraft accident on December 15, 1944, Malvin also toured with his surviving bandmates under the leadership of saxophonist Tex Beneke. After relocating to Hollywood, Malvin became an in-demand session singer on children’s records and advertising jingles, his distinctive baritone gracing commercials for everything from Tang fruit drink to Sominex sleeping pills. He also served as a backing vocalist behind Pat Boone, Andy Williams, and the husband-and-wife duo of Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme. With the commercial ascendance of rock & roll, Malvin transitioned from performing into writing and arranging, focusing largely on television. His work with Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Antonio Carlos Jobim on A Man and His Music notched his first Emmy Award, with a second coming in 1978 during Malvin’s 11-year run with the CBS variety series The Carol Burnett Show. In 1980 he also received a Tony Award nomination for his work on the Broadway smash Sugar Babies.
