With "I Put A Spell On You", Nina Simone released one of her most popular albums in 1965, which also contains some of her best-known songs. Her great version of the title track in particular caused a sensation at the time. While Screamin' Jay Hawkins had given the song an ironic touch in the original, Nina transformed it into a rousing love song. Another highlight is the Broadway number "Feeling Good", which Mary J. Blige sampled for her song "About You" in 2006. Nina Simone delighted her then rapidly growing French fan base with interpretations of three well-known chansons: "Tomorrow Is My Turn" ("L'amour c'est comme un jour") and "You've Got To Learn" ("Il faut savoir") by Charles Aznavour as well as "Ne Me Quitte Pas" by Jacques Brel.

With the album "The Capitol Studios Sessions", Hollywood great Jeff Goldblum took his career to the next level in 2018 and casually became a music star. The actor had also cultivated his talent as a jazz pianist since his youth and performed successfully with his Mildred Snitzer Orchestra at the chic Rockwell Club in LA, but it was only with his debut album that he celebrated his worldwide "coming out" as a swinging pianist and occasional singer.

Originally released in 2005, Diana Krall's Christmas Songs pairs her warm vocals with lush big band arrangements by the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. Highlights include "The Christmas Song" and "Let It Snow." This limited reissue is pressed on festive red and green split-color vinyl.
