Music Evolution is the second and last album by the all-star jazz/hip-hop/R&B fusion project Buckshot LeFonque. Led by none other than jazz saxophonist Branford Marsalis, the project was named after Buckshot La Funke, a one-time pseudonym used by alto sax legend Cannonball Adderley for contractual reasons. The album peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Top Contemporary Jazz Albums chart and features guest performances by rapper Guru, Laurence Fishburne, and the highly regarded session musician David Sanborn. While his brother Wynton holds conservative views regarding jazz, his brother is quite the opposite; here, we see him effortlessly embracing and fusing hip-hop, R&B, and rock into a sonic explosion infused with the joy of playing, to paraphrase People magazine. The track InchAnother DayInch reached number 65 in the UK singles chart in December 1997. Music Evolution is available as a limited edition of 1000 copies on 180g pink coloured vinyl and includes an insert.

It is rare to find a situation where one of the most exquisite national operas, according to many, has been recorded only a few times. Although The Haunted Manor by Stanislaw Moniuszko has been considered to be an outstanding showcase of Polishness in opera for more than 150 years, the modest number of comprehensive recordings of this composition may give rise to profound disbelief. This recording was created thanks to the determination of the artists of the Stanislaw Moniuszko Academy of Music in Gdansk, who wished to honor the Patron of the university on the occasion of it's 70th anniversary in a special and permanent way. This album is a documentary of a concert performance of The Haunted Manor, prepared with the participation of the most eminent pedagogues of the Academy. An interesting recording was made, faithful to the spirit of the Opera and, like it, full of noble humor, which is the setting of extremely serious content.
