Philly Soul has been experiencing a huge resurgence over the past decade and a lot of that has to with the efforts of veteran producer Butch Ingram who has consistently introduced new voices into the ever-expanding talent pool. A case in point would be the vocal group TRU and their enormously talented lead vocalist Jimi Williams. The song InchI Think I'll Stay Home Today,Inch originally sung by Billy Paul many years ago, was a beloved favorite within the R&B community. Billy Paul (Williams) is a family member of Jimi Williams so Jimi knew the song well. When Carla Benson said it was one of her favorites also from the time The Sweeties recorded the background with Billy, Ingram decided to record it as the first solo project for Jimi Williams - and Benson, Sharon Ingram and Nikita Harmon are singing the background vocals almost note for note as they did the first time, all those years ago. The new single is presented here along with a special instrumental version of the track as an added bonus. This excellent new version of Billy Paul's time-honored tune will no doubt attract new and old fans alike, and places Jimi Williams where he belongs - at center stage.

If a composer writes 24 caprices for the violin, and if he himself is also a uniquely virtuoso violinist, then a comparison with the 24 caprices by Paganini is inevitable Henri Marteau was not only appreciated and revered as one of the greatest violinists of his time, but his compositional work was lost in the background. He shared this fate with Niccolò Paganini, who was also experienced during his lifetime more as a InchwarlockInch of the violin than as a serious composer and musician. So, if this comparison is almost inevitable, it must be mentioned that Paganini himself, with his main work published in 1820, also took up the example of other composers, such as the Etudes and Caprices of Rodolphe Kreutzer. The subtitle of Henri Marteau's Caprices Inchd'exécution transcendanteInch is also very revealing. Moreover, Marteau has his miniatures accompanied throughout by the piano, unlike Paganini, who uses the violin alone. The violin virtuoso Ingolf Turban considered his own violin class at the Hochschule München predestined for this first recording of all 24 of Marteau's caprices. So together they dared to do the almost unbelievable all twelve students in his class were involved in this mammoth task, the absolute peak of which, of course, lies in the very elaborate piano accompaniment. Here he engaged the pianist Tomoko Nishikawa, who confidently took on this mammoth task! Ingolf Turban also described himself as the Inch13th studentInch, so to speak, so he took the caprices for his own playing from the InchrestInch, which for hidden reasons was rather spurned, and gladly took part in it. The present recording is the result of a live concert on 12 December 2017 in the large hall of the Munich Musikhochschule and a smaller event on 7 October 2019.
