     Emerging from the tragic bankruptcy of Stiff Records, James Taylor, founding member of the infamous group The Prisoners - formed The James Taylor Quartet JTQ's first single, Blow Up, was released on the Re Elect The President (Acid Jazz) label in 1985. It was a huge success, immediately attracting the attention of John Peel who championed it; the track appearing three years running on Peel's seminal Festive 50 Chart. After an impressive 13 weeks in the Indie Singles Chart, the band decided to start work on a mini album, titled Mission Impossible. This debut, released in '86, was naturally featured around Taylor's Hammond organ sound to produce classic covers of Sixties film themes Mission Impossible, Goldfinger, Mrs Robinson and other heavily grooving instrumental punk funk tunes. With JTQ's following growing, the band were encouraged to put out their second album on Re Elect The President, The Money Spyder. By the time it was released in 1987, the band's attentions were being drawn away from their recording career to their now massive live audience. JTQ's emphasis on live 'dance' music has been the key to the band's success, enabling them to establish a solid relationship between them and their fans. With the focus now strongly on being a 'live' band, The Quartet gigged relentlessly, selling out on the London club circuit. During this period, major record company interest was aroused resulting in a long term deal with Polydor. The James Taylor Quartet released three albums on Polydor, Wait a Minute in 1988, Get Organised in 1989 and Do Your Own Thing in 1990. A number of hit singles were spawned from these such as the acclaimed and well-loved classic The Theme from Starsky & Hutch. With the release of their first live album, Absolute in 1991, The Quartet moved to Polydor subsidiary Big Life. Featuring guest vocals from Rose Windross of Soul II Soul on Shelter and Noel McKoy on Somebody, the album initiated JTQ's introduction to the Soul Market. - All About Jazz.com

     After a nearly 40-year hiatus, Thornton is back to swing and sing her way into your heart. In comparison to her old Riverside recordings, it seems she's lost nothing vocally, the angelic clarity and souful vibrato intact, her enthuisiasm spiking depth charts. Teri Thornton is emphatically back with this complete view of an artist, finally giving us a taste of what we've suspected for these many years. Michael G. Nastos, AMG

     The maestro is really warming up now, the keyboard fireworks leap out of this second album - if anything his best recording to date. The title, roughly translated as "having a good time", is a suitable description for this vividly colourful journey into more experimental territory than his previous outings.
     CHANCHULLO was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Tropical Latin Album.

     Stacey has a soft voice, the instrumental album that is excellent, a perfect combination. In this album Stacey adventure is also the Bossa Nova - in music - "Samba Saravah" of Baden Poewell and Vinicius de Moraes - detail the music is sung in French. Another song that I drew much attention was the version that Stacey did for "What A Wonderful World" - simply perfect and different his way of cantar.O me most was imprecionou even the instrumetal. The track "The Ice Hotel" already shows the whole quality of musicians that come with Stacey Kent, these are Grahem Harvey (Piano), John Parricelli (guitar), Dave Chamberlain (Low), Matt Skelton (Drums and Percussion) and Kim Tomlinson (Tenor saxophones, alto and soprano and flute).
     Finally, for those who never heard Stacey Kent I recommend. I'm listening at that time, is a singer of great quality and the musicians accompanying the singer. The album "Breakfast On The Morning Tram" is proof of that. And I found a novelty - Stacey said in an interview to one TV channel in Portugal, that his inspiration in Brazilian and Portuguese subjects has helped in their desire to learn the language. Waiting to hear the Portuguese, Stacey Kent. Valley and much give that album.

     Although many critics have written that Lester Young never sounded as good after getting out of the military, despite erratic health he actually was at his prime in the mid- to late-'40s. He toured (and was well paid by Norman Granz) with Jazz at the Philharmonic on and off through the '40s and '50s, made a wonderful series of recordings for Aladdin, and worked steadily as a single. Young also adopted his style well to bebop (which he had helped pave the way for in the 1930s). But mentally he was suffering, building a wall between himself and the outside world, and inventing his own colorful vocabulary.
