Milestones
Milestones is an album that needs no introduction. Often overshadowed by its younger sibling Kind of Blue in the rankings of greatest jazz records, it nonetheless holds a pivotal place in the history of modern jazz. Critics and devoted listeners alike recognize its importance: an early – and outstanding – example of modal jazz, recorded by Miles Davis’ so-called “first great quintet” (actually sextet, this time), featuring legends like John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones,…
Io E Mara
A Milan-born multi-instrumentalist of Venetian heritage, Alberto Baldan Bembo was a gifted vibraphonist, organist, pianist, arranger, and composer whose work bridged jazz, pop, and film music. By the early 1960s, he was performing with Italy’s leading ensembles, including I Menestrelli del Jazz and Bruno De Filippi’s group, and soon became an in-demand session musician. For several years, he toured with the legendary Mina, providing the piano and organ backbone to her live shows—a role that shar…

A prodigious soundscape that blends the Caribbean and the Amazon sophistication and flavors; raw yet delicate textures. “Joropop.

Sonido Amazónico
Ranil is undoubtedly the most unconventional figure among the greats of Amazonian cumbia, earning a well-deserved place alongside all the better-known iconic bands. He worked as a teacher, criollo guitarist, radio host, TV entrepreneur, and politician, but gained lasting fame as the founder of Ranil y Su Conjunto Tropical in the 1970s.
By 1968, around the same time Los Destellos were making waves in Lima, groups like Los Wembler’s de Iquitos and Juaneco y su Combo began electrifying cumbia in Iq…
The Twinkling Star
Legendary Egyptian vocalist and cultural icon Umm Kulthum, revered worldwide as “the Voice of Egypt” and often described as “Egypt’s fourth pyramid,” remains one of the most powerful figures in music history. Originally released in 1961 on Parlophone, The Twinkling Star is a luminous showcase of her unparalleled vocal mastery—an album that captures both the grandeur of her artistry and the emotional intensity that made her a cultural phenomenon across the Arab world and beyond.
A cornerstone o…

In truth, singing is not all that different from acting. Performing a song is very similar to playing a role in a theatrical production. A singer's delivery — the way they interpret and emphasize certain parts of a song — is much like what an actor does with their character. That's why we often find singers who go on to gain popularity as performers — some on stage, but more often on the silver screen (film). These are called 'singing stars' — vocalists who are also featured actors, usually give…
Martin Carthy
Re-pressing of Martin Carthy's debut album, originally released on Fontana in 1965 and re-issued by Topic in 1977. In the early 1960s, the approach Martin Carthy took to folk music was nothing short of revolutionary, albeit a relatively quiet revolution befitting of his humble nature.
You wouldn't find Carthy's music clambering up the singles charts; his was not a face adorning the teen magazines. Instead, his influence was felt at a grass-roots level. He plied his trade in the folk clubs, which…
Waka / Jawaka
One of two sets recorded with a mini-big band in the early seventies, Waka / Jawaka is one of the most eclectic releases of Frank Zappa's hyper-eclectic career. The album's dual showpieces, the opening 'Big Swifty' and the title track, combine dynamic horn arrangements and free-form improvisational experimentation (think Miles Davis circa 1973), and the album's other two tracks, 'Your Mouth' and 'It Just Might be a One-Shot Deal' blend elements of electric blues and country music. Perhaps the co…

Questa Specie D'Amore (Original Soundtrack)
Ennio Morricone's subversive 1970 masterpiece finally emerges in full stereo after 55 years. This restored edition of Indagine su un Cittadino al di Sopra di Ogni Sospetto reveals the composer's deliberately "imperfect" instrumentation—out-of-tune piano, mandolin, synthesizer—as radical social commentary. Essential archival triumph.
