Mihály Víg was born in Budapest in 1957 into a family of musicians. At the age of 21 he founded the band "Balaton", with whom he still performs. Between 1982 and 1985 he was a member of the band "Trabant", whose concerts were considered to be legendary events in the Hungarian underground in the second half of the Kádár era.

Larry Coryell was one of the first and, depending on your point of view, one of the best/worst fusion guitarists in jazz history. He's done some truly exciting, breakthrough work with Gary Burton, Philip Catherine, Carla Bley and John McLaughlin, and some then-trendy stabs at funk that are best forgotten. With this CD, Coryell gets back to his jazz roots. By covering tunes by the greats (many of which have become jazz standards) Coryell pays homage to the jazz legends that helped shape his musical conception.

Eduardo Arolas (February 24, 1892 - September 29, 1924) was an Argentine tango Bandoneon player, leader and composer. He's regarded as one of the early masters that helped to define the future of tango music in Argentina. He was avant-garde as composer, with a prolific work in a very short life (209 compositions).

Accordion Tribe, an all-star group of world-renowned accordionists, originally assembled for a brief project in the late '90s. American accordionist Guy Klucevsek brought together Sweden's Lars Hollmer (Samla Mammas Manna), Finland's Maria Kalaniemi, Austria's Otto Lechner, and Slovenia's Bratko Bibic (Begnagrad, Nimal). Each of the musicians contributed repertoire to the ensemble, drawing from the accordion's traditional role in European folk music but also introducing a contemporary and even avant-garde edge.

Bandoneonist and pianist born in 1925, Eduardo Rovira was a underestimated artist not only of his generation but also the following one. His work became a worship for a reduced core of initiates in arts of the Tango and urban culture of Buenos Aires.

First of 90's Gismonti albums, Infância is a wonderful sample of the talent of this brazilian musician. In a chamber format, here are some of his best tunes (like the one that gives the title of the album, or the beautiful "7 aneis") with other more complex compositions, like the two Danças that have an intrincate-style.

Guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel takes The Next Step in his creative evolution on eight songs that exude several degrees of great jazz. He succeeds in topping the musical tastes presented on his debut release for the Verve label, The Enemies of Energy. Rosenwinkel is one of many young jazz musicians forging ahead into the new millennium with bold musical steps, and the compositions, all of which he wrote, represent the culmination of many life phases for him.

This 2-CD set of "Treemonisha" on Deutsche Gramophon was first released in 1976 with the initial enthusiasm over the opera and reissued in 2005 at a budget price. Gunther Schuller, who orchestrated Joplin's piano score, conducts with Carmen Balthorp singing the role of Treemonisha and Betty Allen singing Monisha.

Since the early '80s, Cyro Baptista has been the percussionist of choice for many a downtown New York ensemble, perhaps achieving greatest prominence in John Zorn's Bar Kokhba chamber group. Here, Baptista performs music written or inspired by the Brazilian composer Heitor Villa Lobos and the result is a fine compendium, bristling with Brazilian rhythms, earthy folk songs and impassioned accordions among other delights.

Two pianos, a lot of the best boogie woogie and blues. Memphis Slim & Jean-Paul Amoroux play a wonderful disc, for all jazz and blues lovers.

This record is a crack-up. The purposely eccentric band performs 13 songs by Henry Mancini, being sure to state the melodies but eventually deconstructing and tearing them apart. The interpretations are sometimes quite violent, close to avant-rock, and almost always very humorous bordering on hilarious, while still ironically showing the themes some respect.

This Swedish obscurity recently reissued by APM is a real masterwork of symphonic prog with a few light fusionesque touches. Breezy, cheerful, and winsome, this band whips through complex dual-keyboard arrangements with ease.
