An actress as much as a singer, Germaine Montero was the perfect incarnation of her texts, whether they were songs or poems; better than anyone, she succeeded in highlighting their rhythms, their spirit and their musical qualities. And she was ideally suited to perform them: she could reach inside the heart and shape of a word, and grasp its meaning and colour. Every one of the 96 titles in this anthology compiled by Jean Buzelin and Marc Monneraye is an illustration of the art of perfect performance. Patrick Fremeaux Actriz y cantante, Germaine Montero encarna a la perfección textos y canciones como poemas de los cuales era capaz de expresar el ritmo, la musicalidad y el espíritu mejor que nadie. Ella fue la interprete ideal de aquellas obras, sabiendo entrar en el corazón de la palabra y del verbo para entender su sentido y su color. Los 96 títulos juntos en esta antología de Jean Buzelin y Marc Monneraye, son ejemplo de su arte perfecto de interpretación. Patrick Fremeaux

"Hollywood legend Judy Garland left her mark on 20th century American art through her movies, stage performances, radio and songs. Her peerless ‘Over the Rainbow’ was voted ‘song of the century’ and five of her recordings entered the Grammy Hall of Fame. Lawrence Schulman presents an exceptional anthology with the first album featuring Judy Garland’s greatest hits and the second offering titles from private collections which have never been issued previously. The rarity of these recordings compensates the quality of sound which is inferior to studio recordings. A new aspect of this timeless icon from America’s Golden Age." Patrick Fremeaux FReMEAUX & ASSOCIeS ISSUES 25 NEVER-BEFORE-HEARD JUDY GARLAND TRACKS French Label Unveils 79-Year-Old Film Soundtracks and 72-Year-Old Radio Broadcasts Fremeaux & Associes is proud to announce the release of a new box set of two compact discs Judy Garland: Classiques et Inedits 1929-1956 [Judy Garland: Classic and Previously Unreleased Recordings 1929-1956] that contains forty Judy Garland recordings, most of which have been unavailable for up to seven decades. Culled from studio sessions and private collections from around the world, the anthology, whose tracks were trans-ferred by Grammy Award winner Jon M. Samuels in New York and remastered by Art & Son Studio in Paris, has been in preparation for over a year. It includes well-known and lesser-known Garland classics, but also collectors’ items many of which are previously unreleased, such as her screen debut at First-National—Vitaphone Pictures in 1929, 20 rare radio appearances of which 19 are new on CD, the first re-lease of a song she herself composed, and surround sound reproductions done for the set’s director, Lawrence Schulman, by the Australian sound engineer and award-winning radio host Robert Parker shortly before his death in 2004. The two tracks that open the first CD, "Blue Butterfly" and "Hang on to a Rainbow", are both from Vitaphone discs done by the 7 ½ Frances Gumm for early talkies in 1929 – almost a decade before "Over the Rainbow"! The collection encompasses all the labels for which Garland recorded during her career, from the earliest Decca side "Stompin’ at the Savoy", to her last MGM recording Get Happy, and beyond to her Columbia and Capitol sessions. Of special interest on the first CD are "Send My Baby Back to Me", "Heartbroken", "Without a Memory", and "Go Home, Joe", all recorded in 1953. Robert Parker, well-known for extracting stereo from vintage jazz and popular recordings, transferred them from DJ vinyl 78s into surround in 2002. This is the first time any Garland studio session has been heard in surround. A regular guest on the radio during her movie heyday, Garland sometimes tried her hand at standards and novelty numbers she never performed on film or record. These coveted collectors’ items, released sparingly over the years, make up the collection’s second CD, which includes her first preserved radio appearance from 1935 wherein she belts "Broadway Rhythm", as well as "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" in 1938, "Goody Goodbye" in 1939, "In Spain They Say “Si-Si”" in 1940, "Daddy" in 1941, and "You and I" in 1951. Other new items to be savored are "Love’s New Sweet Song", a song Garland herself composed with husband David Rose in 1941 for a radio show, and a never-before-heard private record of her performing "Someone to Watch Over Me" for a Democratic Party dinner in 1944. “The fact that so many Garland radio performances have never been released so many decades after their broadcast is astounding” states Schulman. The 32-page brochure in French and in English contains liner notes by Schulman, as well as a detailed discography. Fremeaux & Associes, founded by Patrick Fremeaux and Claude Colombini, and recipient of the Grand Prix in honorem of the Charles Cros Academy, has built a catalogue over the years of some 25,000 references distributed in 32 countries. With of over 1000 awards, the label takes pride in striving to rehabilitate the sound heritage of the 20th century to make our collective memory permanently available to future generations.

This two-album collection featuring some of the best known and most successful songs of her career comes from perhaps the greatest Hungarian pop legend. Zsuzsa Koncz's career started after her performance in the Ki mit tud? talent show of 1962. She has been performing with various bands and musicians over the years, most notably Illés and János Bródy. In the 1970s, she made several successful tours abroad, mainly in Eastern Bloc countries as well as in West Germany (sometimes under the names Shusha Koncz and Jana Koncz in German-speaking countries), but also in France, the U.S., and Japan. She remains extremely popular in Hungary, with some of her songs now part of Hungarian folklore, among them: 'A Kárpáthyék lánya', 'Ha én rózsa volnék', and 'Valahol egy lány.'

Personnel includes: Frank Sinatra, Connie Haines, The Pied Pipers (vocals);
Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra.
Recorded between 1940 & 1942.
In 1939, Frank Sinatra scored his very first success, "All Or Nothing At All," with trumpeter Harry James' Orchestra. The following year the young singer began an extraordinary two year apprenticeship with the much classier Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, a regimen which taught him everything he needed to know about musical taste and judgement if not popular adulation. Make no mistake, however; from the beginning, through sheer dint of will, Sinatra managed to make his time with the master trombonist and bandleader a collaboration of musical equals.
Milestone recordings like "Stardust," "I'll Be Seeing You," "I'll Never Smile Again," "Everything Happens To Me" et al are both big band classics and the beginning of a new age of romantic popular singing. No male singer had ever gone as far as Sinatra did in exploring the tender feelings expressed in these songs, in identifying so completely with a given song's meaning. It was a revolution in popular sensibility that we are still living through several decades later.

This is an eclectic array of original compositions and unique interpretations from the archives, featuring your favorite Chesky singers and songwriters, both old and new. Artists featured: Carla Lother, Sara K., Rebecca Pidgeon, "David Johansen and others.
