Although the word salon derives from a room in a domestic dwelling (In 1836, Robert Schumann referred to Salonmusik (a term he incidentally coined) as a 'combination of sentiment and piano passage'), it also came to refer to private gatherings of composers and well-to-do members of society congregated in order to appreciate musical performances of a shorter and more varied nature, as distinct from those of longer chamber works. By the 1830s, the musical salon emerged as a vehicle for virtuoso performers who encapsulated the romantic ideals of enhanced emotional subjectivity and greater artistic individuality, with the piano at the center of it all. The charming, off-the-cuff pieces that so delighted audiences up until relatively recently seem to have faded away with the last performers of the romantic tradition. This album serves to illuminate the brilliant music that many of these underrated yet highly talented 19th century composers gave us.

Mirador - InchMiradorInch. Mirador conjure sky-shaking, boundary-bursting rock 'n' roll by invoking spirits of Ancient myth, traditional folklore and Delta-born blues in one concentrated musical incantation. In the band, 21st century guitar hero, innovator, songwriter and GRAMMY-winning Greta Van Fleet co-founder Jake Kiszka not only shares vocal and guitar duties with Chris Turpin of Ida Mae, but he also shines as a producer/songwriter, stepping out on his own. Initially, the world got to know Mirador when they spent a month supporting Greta Van Fleet's Starcatcher World Tour in 2024. Galvanized by this nightly trial-by-fire, the band rolled into the studio with GRAMMY-winning producer Dave Cobb and cut their self-titled debut live in barely 2 weeks. Jake and Co. Pave an unprecedented path rife with uncompromising fire, unbridled fearlessness and unmatched attitude, laying the groundwork for a rock movement beyond the established scope of the genre.
