Hollywood Jazz Quintet / Gordon,Hal - Neon Dancer - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Founded in 1977 by Lionel Hampton, the Who's Who in Jazz tag existed as a means to present to the world the best musicians that the jazz world had to offer. With Lionel chairing the recording sessions (and also featuring on several of the sessions himself), these recordings have truly earned their title featuring jazz greats such as Buddy Rich, Charles Mingus, Terumasa Hino, Sonny Stitt, Teddy Wilson, Stéphane Grappelli and Dave Brubeck, amidst the many others. Recorded at Eldorado Studios, Hollywood CA in 1977 Nuances sees Hal Gordon (percussion) team up with Harvey Newmark (bass), Carlos Vega (drums), Sam Most (flute), Ted Saunders (keyboards) and Steve Hoffsteter (horns) to showcase an array of original compositions including 'Gemini Lady', 'Sweet Tooth' and 'Samba Wamba'.

Jos van Immerseel InchWhile since it's foundation in 1987 Anima Eterna Brugge has grown organically into a symphonic orchestra, chamber music once again forms an important part of our repertory today. We will continue our journey through orchestral music, but want to broaden our base by including chamber music as well.Inch This recording is Anima's very first to be completely devoted to instrumental ensemble music. A group of musicians headed by violinist Jakob Lehmann breathes new life into two 19th-century masterpieces. Schubert's Octet in F is a crown jewel from the repertoire, taking it's cue from Beethoven's celebrated Septet yet at the same time paving the way toward the Grosse Sinfonie. Roughly 20 years after it's iconic recording of the complete Schubert symphonies, Anima brings it's signature approach to the composer's chamber music to explore it with the insights and Inchlanguage skillsInch developed back then and from thereon. In contrast to Schubert, Franz Berwald has been largely forgotten - undeservedly, as this gifted Swede left behind an oeuvre that is both surprisingly modern and delightfully original. Performed on period instruments, using authoritative sources and contemporary playing techniques, these brilliant pages of large ensemble music are now ready to be rediscovered and enjoyed once again.
