A bargain-priced CD, Early Morning Jazz for Lovers provides a soft, but not saccharine, 40 minutes of music for first thing in the morning romance. There's an interesting conglomeration of musicians represented on this disk, to say the least. From the Charlie Parker-influenced Phil Woods to the enigmatic, sometimes quirky clarinet player Pee Wee Russell. However, it is Woods who is the feature player here, with six of the ten tracks belonging to him (although on one of the tunes credited to him, "When Dreams Come True," there's just piano and no sax on the track). Woods' alto takes on a softer tone than one usually hears, appropriate for the amorous mood the music is trying to create, or to enhance. Grady Tate chips in with his pleasant, unassuming vocalizing on "And I Love Her" and "The Windmills of Your Mind" from his 1968 album Windmills of My Mind, with Herbie Hancock, on organ no less, and lots of strings. Guitarist Gabor Szabo contributes a solo on "Song of Injured Love." Pee Wee Russell's up-tempo "That Old Feeling" seems out of synch with the mood the other tunes are venturing to establish. But it is good listening anyway.

Freddie King (September 3, 1934 - December 28, 1976) possibly born Frederick Christian, originally recording as Freddy King, and nicknamed "the Texas Cannonball", was an influential African-American blues guitarist and singer. He was often seen mentioned as one of "the Three Kings" of electric blues guitar - with the longer-living Albert King and B.B. King. Freddie King based his guitar style on Texas and Chicago influences and was one of the first bluesmen to have a multiracial backing band onstage with him at live performances. He is best known for such singles as "Have You Ever Loved A Woman" (1960) and his Top 40 hit "Hide Away" (1961). He is also known for such albums as the early, instrumental-packed Let's Hide Away and Dance Away with Freddy King (1961) and the later Burglar (1974), which displayed King's mature versatility as both player and singer in a range of blues and funk styles...

Grammatik einmal anders … Jedes dieser elf Lieder demonstriert ganz unauffällig und doch einprägsam eine grammatikalische Form der deutschen Sprache. Dennoch steht beim Hören nicht die sprachliche Form im Vordergrund, sondern vielmehr die Botschaft: Die Lieder erzählen mit großem Einfühlungsvermögen, einem Schuss Ironie und einer Prise tieferer Bedeutung vom interessantesten Thema zwischenmenschlicher Kommunikation: von der Liebe in ihren schönen oder schmerzlichen Momenten. Die Sprache der Lieder ist einfach genug, dass einige schon auf der Niveaustufe A2, alle aber auf der Stufe B1 mit unmittelbarem Genuss und ohne besondere Anleitung gehört werden können. Darin besteht ihr eigentlicher Zweck: Ganz authentische Hörerlebnisse schon in der Grundstufe zu ermöglichen. Wer darüber hinaus mit den Liedern Teile eines Deutschkurses gestalten möchte, für den gibt es Kopiervorlagen mit didaktischen und methodischen Hinweisen und vielen Aufgaben zur Heranführung an die Texte und zur eingehenderen und kreativen Beschäftigung mit ihren formalen und inhaltlichen Besonderheiten.

Blind Before I Stop is a 1986 album by Meat Loaf. The album was produced in Germany by Frank Farian and was the first to fully embrace the 80s sound. Critics were concerned about the album missing the characteristic Steinman-influenced sound by incorporating synth chords and samples. According to Meat Loaf's 1998 autobiography, he would have preferred to wait to work with more Steinman material, but his contractual obligations with Arista required him to complete two more albums by the end of the 1980s, including this album and a live album. Meat Loaf co-wrote three of the songs on the album. One of them, "Blind Before I Stop", was performed live on Saturday Night Live, with Meat Loaf playing guitar...

Novella by Thomas Mann, published in German as Der Tod in Venedig in 1912. A symbol-laden story of aestheticism and decadence, Mann's best-known novella exemplifies the author's regard for Sigmund Freud's writings on the unconscious. Gustav von Aschenbach is a revered author whose work is known for its discipline and formal perfection. At his Venetian hotel he encounters the strikingly handsome young teenager Tadzio. Aschenbach is disturbed by his attraction to the boy, and although he watches Tadzio, he dare not speak to him. Despite warnings of a cholera epidemic Aschenbach stays in Venice; he sacrifices his dignity and well-being to the immediate experience of beauty as embodied by Tadzio. After exchanging a significant look with the boy on the day of Tadzio's scheduled departure, Aschenbach dies of cholera. As in his other major works, Mann explores the role of the artist in society. The cerebral Aschenbach summons extraordinary discipline and endurance in his literary work, but his private desires overwhelm him.
