The grooves and vibes are just enough to keep the listener motivated at the work place, while also adding the feeling that one should be 'chillin' in the warmth of the sun, with a refreshing cold drink in hand, lounging by the pool, or better still, on the beach of a tropical island. This record was composed in collaboration with the valued Brazilian jazz guitarist Irio de Paula, the Italian saxophonist Stefano Colnaghi and the African percussionist Wilfred Copello. The majority are covers of well know works from artists such as Jobim, Ellington, Parker. The CD contains two extra unreleased pieces: 'Night in Tunisia', cover of the original song composed by Dizzie Gillespie, and 'Foglie Morte'. originally composed by Shirley Bassey. 8018344029092 SNAX909.2 27538074 .00 18.99 .25 SCHEMA COMPACT DISCS POP JAZZ 12/01/2008 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/b/500/6/5/5/9/1469556.jpg 4 ROSSINI / MARANGONI COMPLETE PIANO MUSIC PECHES DE VIELLESSE 2 Rossini spent his final years in Paris where he wrote numerous short piano pieces arranged in 13 volumes, which he jokingly called Peches de vieillesse, that juxtapose irreverence and seriousness. 747313076673 NXS8570766.2 14230615 .00 19.99 .24 NAXOS COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC & RECITALS 01/27/2009 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/c/500/8/1/3/3/1463318.jpg 6 DEBUSSY / ORCHESTRE NAT'L DE LYON / MARKL IMAGES FOR ORCHESTRA 2 Debussy' orchestral works are much loved for their exquisite orchestrations, poetically nuanced harmonies and almost magical evocations of time and place. 747313099375 NXS8570993.2 14230585 .00 19.99 .20 NAXOS COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 01/27/2009 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/a/500/0/2/3/3/1463320.jpg 70 STOKOWSKI / BOURNEMOUTH SO / SEREBRIER BACH TRANSCRIPTIONS 2 Leopold Stokowski arranged nearly 40 works from Bach' catalogue for the modern symphony orchestra, and Jose Serebrier' second volume of Bach-Stokowski Transcriptions is as colourful and wide-ranging as the first. 747313205073 NXS8572050.2 14230608 .00 19.99 .17 NAXOS COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 01/27/2009 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/a/500/1/2/3/3/1463321.jpg 8 ETERNAL BACH / VARIOUS ETERNAL BACH / VARIOUS This collection of classical favorites of Bach's work serves as a compilation of his famous works made available by Budapest Failoni Chamber Orchestra; Cologne Chamber Orchestra and Northern Chamber Orchestra accompanied by a host of renowned classical talent. 747313802470 NXS8578024.2 14256387 .00 13.99 .18 NAXOS COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL V/A COMPILATIONS 01/27/2009 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/c/500/9/2/3/3/1463329.jpg 11 HALLADAY,WALLACE / SIMON / TORONTO WIND / GOMES NORTHERN WINDS Northern Winds is an inspirational album featuring a wealth of Canadian talent that highlights imaginative approaches to wind orchestration across various styles by several composers, from Louis Applebaum' High Spirits for full ensemble to Henry Ku. 747313224876 NXWB8572248.2 14256271 .00 19.99 .24 NAXOS WIND BAND COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 01/27/2009 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/a/500/2/3/3/3/1463332.jpg 2 STRAUSS,J.
