Safia Nolin covering Quebecois songs such as Céline Dion's, and a Christmas song.

Vinyl LP pressing. The 2007 opus from the Italian Death/Doom pioneers, presented on vinyl for the first time. The seeds of Novembre were originally planted in September 1990 in Rome, Italy by the brothers Carmelo Orlando (guitars & vocals) & Giuseppe Orlando (drums). Then known as Catacomb, their early recordings of unusual gothic doom metal were to quickly gain the band interest. It was around 1993 that the brothers decided that a name change was in order & Novembre was born. Following swiftly on the back of 2006's 'Materia ' - Novembre's first album for their then new tag, Peaceville - & in the wake of the great acclaim the band was receiving at the time for it's highly captivating blend of atmospheric, emotional & progressive rock/metal, arrived the follow-up opus, 'The Blue', in 2007. Featuring among the band's strongest compositions to date & with twists of doom/gothic which brought to mind classic bands such as Opeth, 'The Blue' was a flawlessly executed opus of soaring majestic anthems in the unmistakable Novembre style. 'The Blue' was recorded at Outersound Studios, Italy, by the band & mixed at Finnvox Studios in Finland (Nightwish, Finntroll, HIM). Artwork was created by Travis Smith (Katatonia, Opeth). Following the recent of the band's stellar 'Words Of Indigo' album, this edition of 'The Blue' is presented on black vinyl with printed inner sleeve featuring lyrics & arrives on the vinyl for the first time.

Gerry Mulligan - Nocturne In the role of leader, Mulligan prepared scores that always made jazz a conversation between musicians. Playing was first and foremost an exchange of ideas. Mulligan had an unwavering sense of logic and had shown it from a very young age. The first great result came in the historic recordings of InchBirth of the CoolInch the leader was Miles Davis but the éminence grise was above all this boy in his early twenties. InchIt was a concert recorded in Bologna exactly the day after Jeru's sixty-fifth birthday. For that evening in Bologna Mulligan had brought his trusty Dean Johnson and RonVincent, who accompanied him in the last part of his career (he would die a little less than four years later). At the piano sat Harold Danko, whose contribution in mainstream contexts has always been first-rate. And yet his gaze, his sense of humor, his style - and anyone who attended one of his concerts can confirm this - everything has remained lively as if the crew cut was no longer in his head but somewhere in his soul. Furthermore, while maintaining his sense of logic unchanged, this mature Mulligan knows how to get to the heart of things on stage. If he has to swing, he does it with all the warmth possible. Of the compositions from his golden years, such as Line for Lyons and Walkin' Shoes, he gives us versions that bring memory back to life. But it is in the more intimate pieces that we find the art of the latest Mulligan at it's best. Among these stands out Song for Strayhorn, a tribute to Duke Ellington's right-hand man. Billy Strayhorn was perhaps the musician who influenced him the most in his youth as a composer and arranger. For us who listen to him in Bologna, Mulligan finds the sincerest and most emotional notes to honor that little great man. Inch
