Following the international success of PLANET, LETTER, and NOCHE, Sofiane Pamart returns with MOVIE, his most ambitious and deeply personal solo album to date, conceived as the first "film" he has ever scored himself. Spanning 20 tracks, the album marks a major artistic turning point, blending intimate piano compositions with cinematic scale and featuring the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra alongside 14 international collaborators including Wyclef Jean, Celeste, SIA, J Balvin, Nelly Furtado, FKJ, and others. MOVIE reflects Pamart's evolution into a defining figure in contemporary piano music, underscored by over one billion global streams, mastering by Grammy winner Matt Colton, landmark performances such as the Paris 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony, and historic achievements including selling out Accor Arena, an upcoming Stade de France performance, and high-profile collaborations ranging from Formula 1's Charles LeClerc to global pop and hip-hop icons.

SONGS THAT SHAPED BOB DYLAN / VARIOUS

A mainstay of the Memphis blues, R&B and soul scenes from the mid-1940s until his death in 2001, the sometime DJ who billed himself on radio as 'the world's oldest teenager' was the only man to record for the Bluff City's three major independent record labels (Sun, Stax and Hi) and a lot more besides. With daughter Carla, Rufus Thomas more or less started the Stax label on it's road to success, being one of the first and indeed also the last people to have a 45 issued by the label. Prior to that he'd built a career that began as a tap dancer in the 1930 to a point where he made his first records in the late 1940s. In this collection you can hear just about everything Rufus cut between our title track - his first release - up to his first Stax solo hit 'The Dog' in 1962. Rufus' musical journey up to that point and beyond mirrors the evolution of the black American music scene in the south across the same time frame. Only a few of these records were anything more than local hits, but they all contribute significantly to a much bigger catalogue that is one of the most consistent of any artist whose career stretched across eight decades! If you want to find out where The Memphis Sound (of soul, anyway) began, this is a very good place to start looking.

Celebrating Francoise Hardy's indelible mark on the history of modern music. • Comprehensive collection of Francois Hardy's English-language studio recordings. Francoise Hardy's Vogue years have left a mark on the history of French and international music. Even today, the 5 years between 1962-67 remain an exceptional moment in her career, the ones when she exploded in the eyes of a generation that was born during or just after the World War II, the generation that would be part of the May 1968 Paris protests. Hardy exploded not only in France alongside her fellow "Yeyes," but also internationally, where she became the symbol of French elegance, talent and charm. The United States, Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain-no one could resist Francoise, who recorded most of her hits in English, Italian, and German. In English collects her English-language studio recordings. All tracks have been fully remastered.

Shards is a oneness of performance and transformation, transformation as performance. As Jason Moran and Marcus Gilmore play, BlankFor. Ms records micro fragments of time and sends them back to his collaborators sped up, slowed down, reversed, broken into ever tinier grains of data and smeared into a sparkling blur. Moran and Gilmore receive glimpses into their immediate past, or even further back in time, like they're playing into a broken mirror - not just cracked in it's visual plane, but in the sense of it's shards shattering time and light, showing them past and future.

With her riveting Blue Note debut Diavola, vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa makes her artistic arrival with an album that unveils her range as a band leader, a songwriter, and a fearless song interpreter who treats each gesture with subtlety and reverence. Co-produced by Joshua Redman & Don Was, Diavola is a collection of original songs and luminous arrangements that features an extraordinary cast of collaborators with Jeff Parker on guitar, Paul Cornish on piano, Larry Grenadier on bass, Brian Blade on drums, and Redman on tenor saxophone.

A landmark in jazz history, Time Out (1959) by the Dave Brubeck Quartet broke conventions with it's bold exploration of unusual time signatures. From the fiery 9/8 rhythm of "Blue Rondo a la Turk" to the cool, hypnotic 5/4 pulse of "Take Five", this album fuses complexity with accessibility. "Strange Meadow Lark" and "Three to Get Ready" blend lyrical piano with dynamic interplay, while "Kathy's Waltz", "Everybody's Jumpin'", and "Pick Up Sticks" round out Side B with vibrant energy and rhythmic innovation. A timeless classic that redefined modern jazz.

This debut joint album by a married duo of distinguished pianists captures two artists at the height of their international careers, delivering masterful interpretations that affirm their virtuosity and artistic maturity. Both works reflect turbulent chapters in their composers' lives, tracing themes of transformation, memory, irony, intimacy, and emotional honesty. The result is music that invites deep reflection on both artistic and personal truth, while also immersing the listener in moments of pure beauty-shaped by the fleeting, atmospheric spirit of the North.

With their poetic and energetic music, the three storytellers from Italy, France, and Switzerland create an unobstructed view of the Mediterranean across the narrow mountain valleys. The music of these three musical personalities thrives on it's poetry, it's beautiful sound, it's depth of thought, and the interweaving of composition and improvisation. Original compositions meet Radiohead and Monteverdi variations and merge on Fables of Time into soulful music full of energy and subtle wit. A trio with three leaders, all three at home in different musical languages and technically at their peak. Together they form a unity that is rarely found. Thirteen years after the two highly acclaimed CDs What is There What is Not and Mavi, the long-awaited third release from this extraordinary trio is here. "The path offered to the listener is full of surprises and joy - you never know what's waiting around the corner: a stroll through a stately Renaissance melody, a sudden jolt of energy from free improvised passages, an evocation of village dance from an imaginary country that borders the desert, the Alps and the countryside, a flash of funky, and sometimes all these things at the same time", writes Francesco Martinelli in the liner notes.

Expanded edition of the Icelandic singer/songwriter's 2025 album. A Matter of Time is the third studio album by Laufey. With four new songs, this 19-track deluxe album is an introspection about learning to live with one's anxieties - embracing uncertainty, accepting the passage of time, and finding calm after the storm.

Midway through Martin Luther King, Jr.'s historic speech at the 1963 March on Washington, a voice rang out from behind him: "Tell them about the dream, Martin!" That voice belonged to Mahalia Jackson, King's close friend and one of the most revered gospel singers of the 20th century. Glorious Mahalia, a visionary tribute to Jackson's life by the internationally renowned Kronos Quartet, uses that moment as a springboard to explore the depth of Jackson's musical craft and it's impact on the Civil Rights Movement, including her relationship with Clarence Jones and Studs Terkel, other luminaries of the time. Featuring compositions by Stacy Garrop and Zachary James Watkins, a new arrangement of Jackson's astonishing version of the Antonio Haskell composition "God Shall Wipe All Tears Away," and archival audio of Jackson's voice, the album illuminates Jackson's historic artistry and advocacy.

Two CDs. Harold Melvin's four albums for Philly International Records, dating from 1972, '73 and '75.

These recordings produced the huge hits of 'If You Don't Know Me By Now', 'Bad Luck', 'The Love I Lost', 'Wake Up Everybody' and 'Don't Leave Me This Way', When Melvin left Philly, and with Teddy Pendergrass also going solo, the band were unable to replicate their earlier success; however, these recordings are some of the finest black music ever. Digitally remastered and slipcased, and with extensive new notes.

While Sam Phillips of Sun Records is known as one of the architects of rock and roll, he also dabbled in other genres - 1960's The Martini Set is a great example of his jazzy side. Featuring pianist Graham Forbes and his trio, this midcentury lounge music gem has interpretations of standards like "Autumn in New York" and "The Lady is a Tramp." Fans of romantic jazz can raise their glass to the shimmering version of "Adios" that provided the soundtrack to an episode of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

NEW PAINTINGS OF JAZZ

Released in 1962, Jazz Samba is a landmark collaboration between saxophonist Stan Getz and guitarist Charlie Byrd that effectively launched the bossa nova craze in the United States. The album features a smooth blend of cool jazz and Brazilian rhythms, highlighted by the classic hit "Desafinado," which won a Grammy for Best Jazz Performance.

Louis Armstrong's career began nearly 15 years before Ella Fitzgerald's. In fact, Louis was one of Ella's first musical idols. Although both Ella and Louis had probably met and performed together previously, they wouldn't be heard on record together until January 18, 1946, when they waxed a single 78 rpm disc coupling "The Frim Fram Sauce" with "You Won't Be Satisfied". They wouldn't record a lot together until 1956, when producer Norman Granz reunited them for three memorable albums: Ella & Louis (presented here), it's sequel Ella & Louis Again and the selection of tunes from George Gershwin's folk opera Porgy & Bess. The results: some of the most fascinating jazz music ever produced. THE COMPLETE LP - 180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL - LIMITED EDITION

BACKLASH OF UNCERTAINTY

Amazing jazz interpretations of songs of Nirvana, Klaus Doldinger, Grace Jones, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Talking Heads, Grandbrothers, Dave Pike, Empire Of The Sun, Joe Jackson, Eurythmics, Kruder & Dorfmeister. WEB WEB is starting a new chapter with Kover Kover. For the first time in the band's ten-year history, the focus is not on original compositions, but exclusively on cover versions - a radical change of perspective that seems entirely consistent. The musicians' stylistic openness inevitably led to an intriguing question: what would songs by Talking Heads, Kruder & Dorfmeister or Joe Jackson sound like if they had originally been penned by WEB WEB? The answer was obvious - you just had to put these pieces through the distinctive WEB WEB cosmos. The idea: to interpret favorite songs from completely different musical worlds in such a way that they fit organically into one's own musical language. The amazing thing is that it wasn't particularly difficult. Because a really good song can be reduced to two essential components - a melody that you can sing along to and a harmonic structure that remains instantly recognisable even in it's simplest form.
