Fantastic new 96kHz/24bit jazz titles from Chesky and Verve Black Coffee (NEW 96kHz/24bit) Louise Rogers Chesky Records "Hers is a pure, incandescent voice, free of affectation or obvious influence."— Christopher Loudon, Jazz Times Jazz vocalist Louise Rogers has been gradually winning over converts with her beautiful burnished tone, clear diction, flawless intonation and impeccable musicianship. Her natural, unforced delivery harkens back to such pure singers as Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Chris Connor, and Doris Day. Black Coffee is her fifth recording, and finds Rogers taking a more relaxed and restrained approach over 12 songs, including standards "Ain't Misbehavin"' and "Gentle Rain," an interpretation of Peggy Lee's 1956 hit "Black Coffee," and a moving take on "Alice In Wonderland."

The Grammy®-winning virtuoso appeared on some of the most important albums in the genre, including seminal works by Omette Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Art Blakey, John Coltrane, and countless others. The Artist)); Of Freddie Hubbard, his fifth album for Impulse!, is a spellbinding piece of jazz history. Hubbard's molten lines are augmented by the trombone work of the legendary Curtis Fuller and tenor saxophonist John Gilmore of the Sun Ra Arkestra. One of the all-time great jazz records. EFTA00779858 New 96kHzi24bit titles from Channel Classics and Songlines Tchaikovsky I Saint-Saens I Bruch (NEW 96kH7J24bit) Daniel Sepec, Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Pieter Wispelwey Channel Classics "Best Audiophile Label Recording"— The Absolute Sound, November 2009 issue On this fabulous classical recording, internationally acclaimed cellist Pieter Wispelwey is joined by the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen (German Chamber Philharmonic), led by concertmaster Daniel Sepec.

Also featured is Saint-Saens gorgeous Cello Concerto No. 1 and Bruch's Kol Nidrei. "Pieter Wispelwey has a penetrating musical intelligence."—Andrew Quint, The Absolute Sound The Sixth Jump (NEW 961cHz124bit) Benoit Delbecq Trio Songlines "Luminous harmony, intellectual rigor, and modernist piano technique... a forward- thinking musician..." -Ethan Iverson, AllAboutJazz-New York New York Times Critics' Choice, October 2010 The work of pianist Benoit Delbecq—named "one of the avatars of the prepared piano" by Jazz Times—shows a deep connection with both the modem jazz piano lineage (Monk, Waldron, Ibrahim etc.) and elements of the classical avant- garde (particularly Cage, Messiaen and Ligeti). The result is a startling unique and engaging style. Motored by bassist extraordinaire Jean- Jacques Avenel and Congolese drummer Emile Biayenda, the compositions are full of unpredictable rhythms and textures that sweep around Delbecq's gorgeous Impressionistic piano playing. This is music that readily communicates on a physical and often an emotional level but reveals ever-more-subtle aspects as you get to know it. Classical EFTA00779859 Khachaturian: Concerto for Piano and Orchestra (96kHz/24biti Peter Katin I London Symphony Orchestra I Hugo Rignold "A brilliant piano concerto colored by the Armenian folk background of the composer."—John Sunier, Audiophile Audition On this thrilling audiophile release, piano virtuoso Peter Katin takes on the folk-twinged delicacy and bombast of IChachaturian's stunning Concerto for Piano and Orchestra.

JI ojima Plays Ravel Minoru Nojima "Demands recommendation alongside history's best recorded performances." — Stereophile Reissued by popular demand, this classic recording from 1990 is simply one of the greatest modem documents of Ravel's gorgeous piano works.

The pianist has earned effusive praise throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia and after listening to this breathtaking album, it's easy to see why. Fantastic Jazz from Sunnyside Records Fodder On My Wing& Nina Simone This week only: 20% off this title Recorded in Paris in 1982, Fodder on My Wings features Simone's singular voice over exhilarating Latin and African rhythms with splashes of sounds from the Orient. Informed by her travels to Barbados, Liberia, the Netherlands and France, Fodder is a masterpiece of ever- changing colors and textures. This version contains three tracks not included on the original: "Liberian Calypso," an account of Simone's time in the African country founded by former American slaves, "Le Peuple En Suisse," a reverent homage to Switzerland, and "I Sing Just To Know That I'm Alive," a testament to Absolute Zawinul Absolute Ensemble This week only: 20% off this title Absolute Zawinul is the last studio recording by the legendary Joe Zawinul of Weather Report. A masterpiece and a must for any music fan, the composer insisted that the Absolute Zawinul project be about the musician he had become, not the musician he was thirty-something years before. Under his leadership, arranger Gene Pritsker worked painstakingly to notate the complex and incomparably subtle improvisations Joe had laid down over the years in order to create arrangements that could be played with or without him. The result is one of his finest works —one that truly captures the soul and subtleties of this great musician.

Georgia Warhorse JJ Grey & Mofro "Georgia Warhorse shows Southern rock is still progressing as a genre, thanks in part to the work of Grey and his band."—Scott Bernstein, Relix New York Times Critics' Choice, August 2010 Singing with a passion and fervor directly influenced by the classic soul heroes, B Grey has written and recorded five albums of original songs steeped in the rhythm & blues, rock, and country soul of his native backwoods home outside Jacksonville, Florida.

Rock Classics EFTA00779861 The iginal Sound (96kHz/24bit) Roy Orbison Mother member of The Traveling Wilburys (which included Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and George Harrison). Roy Orbison came under Sun Records' radar in 1956 while performing with the "Teen Kings," which Orbison had formed at North Texas University. His tenure with Sun preceded the mass success of massive hits like "Pretty Woman" and "Only The Lonely," but it introduced the world to one of rock's most distinctive voices.

While meant in part to be exercises to expand and enhance the composer's piano technique, these pieces work brilliantly as stand- EFTA00779862 This fantastic percussion-driven album by Grammy®-winning Brazilian songwriter Gilberto Gil is an exhilarating blend of Latin and African rhythms.

The album is comprised of incidental music for a musical about Zumbi, a Brazilian slave and rebel leader, making for a wonderfully emotional and cinematic listening experience. This is a great introduction to a Brazilian superstar and master musician with 12 gold records, five platinum albums, and seven Grammys® under his belt. alone pieces of art.
