Damien Leith - Remember June - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

These songs are my outlet to say what I really felt about something but didn't say because my feelings didn't fit the script, says OGI.InchI was afraid of looking cocky or unruly ('Looker') or being overly resentful ('Bitter') or too apathetic ('Let Me Go') or being too affectionate ('IKYK'). These are performances of songs by a person who feels like she's performed all her life. How meta. The most relatable thing about my experience is that I tried to be something that I'm not to fall in line with an internalized notion of myself. In other words, I performed the expectations that I was given. And everyone can relate to forgoing the fullest expression of themselves for the sake of the crowd -the audience. But now I'm putting myself display and staging those thoughts I never intended for people to hear. We love radical (maybe too specific) honesty.Inch Today, rising songstress OGI has unveiled her debut EP, MONOLOGUES. The project includes her debut single InchI Got ItInch which was produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner No I.D. (Jay-Z, Rihanna, Kanye West) and featured on Zane Lowe's World First on Apple Music. It also includes her second single InchEnvyInch which was accompanied by an official live performance videoshot on location at Seattle, WA's inspirational Chihuly Garden and Glass. TRACKLISTING 1.

Parnassus is proud to present a new collection of first commercial releases of spectacular live performances from pianist Sviatoslav Richter. Taken from recordings made by audience members and live broadcast sources, and now remastered and restored by Gene Gaudette of Urlicht Audiovisual, Richter Supreme is a must-have collection for Richter fans.Devotees of Richter know that even he had those supreme moments in which he exceeded his extremely high standards. When producer Leslie Gerber listened to the centerpiece of this recording, a recital at Hunter College, New York in 1965, he was convinced that this performance qualified as InchRichter SupremeInch. Throughout the performance of works by Schubert, Brahms, Debussy, Ravel, Prokofieff, and Rachmaninoff, the listener experiences Richter at the very height of his powers, technical prowess allied to the most penetrating musical interpretation. This concert may not introduce any new Richter repertoire, but gives us the opportunity to listen in on a master musician at the height of his powers.Completing the set are two further rarities a 1988 Tokyo performance of Hindemith's ferocious Suite '1922', which shows Richter bringing out all the music's challenging qualities, and building the finale to an apocalyptic frenzy unlike his earlier studio recordings, and an early 1958 Budapest broadcast of the Bartók Second Piano Concerto with the Hungarian State Orchestra under János Ferencsik.A treasurable document of greatness.

One of the greatest and most underrated singers of her time, June Christy is best known for her work in the cool Jazz genre. Christy first rose to prominence with the Stan Kenton Orchestra in 1945, then began to pursue a solo career starting in 1947. In 1954 Christy released a 10Inch LP entitled InchSomething CoolInch which became instrumental in launching the cool vocal movement of the 1950 s. Presented here is a fitting tribute to Ms. Christy featuring Les Brown & His Band of Renown performing songs associated with Christy. June Christy herself appears on three tracks, InchI'll Remember April,Inch InchI'll Take RomanceInch and InchSeptember Song.Inch Les Brown's vocalist Jo Ann Greer appears on the other vocal selections. All selections newly re-mastered.
