(2 albums on one CD) George Barnes and Carl Kress often teamed up to play guitar duets from 1962-65, although they made relatively few recordings. "Guitars Anyone?" was their last meeting on record, and it finds the pair in high spirits on a dozen selections. The second part of this CD features Barnes' Second Quartet with Dick Hyman, Hank Jones, Milt Hinton, Jo Jones and others.

This CD features two small group sessions recorded in the late 1950s featuring two of the finest traditional jazz pianists - Art Hodes and Don Ewell. Tracks include Apex Blues, Liberty Inn Drag, Yellow Dog Blues, New Orleans Hop.

You'll hear lots of songs not commonly sung by this great big-band vocalist as you take in these 1949-50 transcription discs. She takes on Dancing on the Ceiling; East of the Sun; How High the Moon; My Man; on the Sunny Side of the Street; Too Marvelous for Words; That's My Desire, and 13 more!

Archive release. Recorded at the San Jacinto Hall, New Orleans, on Sept. 9, 1954. The names of Peter Bocage and Emil� Barnes are not as well-known as those of others who figured more prominently in the New Orleans jazz revival of the '40s through the '60s. Theirs was a different kind of jazz, one which was driving, which was "hot, " while Bocage, especially, and Barnes opted for a more restrained-but no less passionate-approach. This CD presents over an hour of laid back, happy music that will not deafen the listener. It might encourage one to rise up and take a turn or two around the floor, as we can hear the folks doing in the background of this CD. While this is not the first time the contents of the CD have been issued, there having been a previous issue on American Music, this one has the benefit of the session's tracks being remastered. The result is a very entertaining album, and I would join with executive producer Lars Edegran when he says, "It is one of our favorite sessions from that period."
