On March 31, the live album A Modern Songbook by Thomas Enhco and Stéphane Kerecki will be released on Sony Music – a summit meeting of two virtuosos.

When the brilliant pianist Thomas Enhco and the indispensable double bassist Stéphane Kerecki interpret timeless classics such as Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin or Fields of Gold by Sting together, a smooth jazz gem with unforgettable chill ballad is created. Thomas Enhco is a pianist and composer and experimented with music in its full range from an early age: classical and popular music, written and improvised. His stepfather, the violinist Didier Lockwood, introduced him to the world of great jazz musicians. He was already immersed in the intensity of the clubs as a child and felt equally comfortable as a jazz pianist, classical soloist or composer.

New York is a city of ghosts. An ordinary-looking building on an unexceptional street can harbor the spirits of countless human dramas of past years: family secrets, forgotten news, lost traditions, heroes unsung, artworks unseen….

If every building on every block has stories to tell, one place in particular has a history like no other. The inconspicuous four-story brick townhouse at 64 East 7th Street was at the heart of a long series of dramatic moments in New York’s cultural history, from the day of the city’s first major disaster through the Beat movement and the punk era to 21st-century gentrification.

“Different Game”, is the long-awaited follow-up to their critically-acclaimed 2015 release “Still Got That Hunger”, which charted in Billboard’s Top 100 and SoundScanned over 12k units in America alone.

The band began working on this album in 2019, shortly after their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, but it was delayed by the Pandemic – they strongly prefer to record together and capture a live band performance in the studio (just as they had to do in the 1960’s). They were not willing to make this album remotely.

In the mid-to-late ‘60s, The Grasshoppers were kings of the Twin Cities music scene. They had it all — sweat-stained rock ‘n’ roll, radio-ready pop songcraft, and harmonies tighter than a monk’s entertainment budget. They took their act all over the Midwest, from Iowa to Wisconsin to North Dakota, sometimes generating a Beatlemania-like female frenzy along the way. But for all their regional renown, The Grasshoppers only released one single… until now!

Brubeck in Amsterdam is a 1962 live album by Dave Brubeck and his quartet recorded on 3 December at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, though unreleased until 1969.

A live gem from the classic Dave Brubeck Quartet – and a great reminder that the group could almost be even more exciting in a concert setting than on their studio albums! The date is 1962, and the combo is in perfect form – sublime alto from Paul Desmond, and always-inventive rhythms from Joe Morello on drums and Eugene Wright on bass – fused perfectly with Dave’s piano, but also very open and spontaneous here – with this extra sort of crackle that makes us know that although working at the level of perfection, these guys are still just mere mortals too! The set features a 12 minute take on “Brandenburg Gate” with a solo by Desmond that’s simply stunning – and other cuts include “Since Love Had Its Way”, “King For A Day”, “Good Reviews”, and “Cultural Exchange”.
