The Cappella Musicale di San Giacomo Maggiore in Bologna constitutes a vocal and instrumental group dedicated to the enhancement of the unpublished heritage of hidden treasures in the still unexplored musical archives. After the sacred works by Ippolito Ghezzi, Pirro Capacelli Albergati, and of the InchItalian Seicento in Spanish style,Inch the team directed by Roberto Cascio tackles the genre of the eighteenth-century comic intermezzo, which had great fortune in it's time among the composers of the theatrical genre, to then come up to the present day in the wake of the immortal Serva Padrona by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi. The two interludes proposed here are the InchPalandrana and ZamberluccoInch by Alessandro Scarlatti, the progenitor of that Eighteen century Neapolitan school in which Pergolesi will also grow, and the InchSelvaggia and DametaInch by anonymous composer. Both works are centered on comic amorous quarrels performed by two characters brought to the stage by the vocal parts of a contralto and a bass.

Country Harvest Records pays homage to the trailblazing Jean Shepard with the reissue of InchSlippin' AwayInch. A pioneer for women in country music, Shepard left an indelible mark on the genre with her powerful vocals and candid songwriting. InchSlippin' AwayInch is a timeless exploration of heartache and resilience, showcasing Shepard's ability to convey raw emotion through her music. Here, Country Harvest Records' remastering breathes new life into Shepard's poignant performances, allowing listeners to rediscover the depth and significance of this classic album.
