The Squadronaires formed in 1940 from the cream of dance band musicians who had joined the Royal Air Force. Among the players were trombonist George Chisholm and trumpet star Kenny Baker, who would both have international reputations in the post-war jazz world.

These first twenty-four tracks were indicative of the coming cool school of jazz orchestration that would blossom a few years later, with solos by Danny Polo, Mickey Folus, and Ed Zandy, as well as vocals by Fran Warren.

Selling Points Guitarist Eric Bell—a founding member of Thin Lizzy—played the blues to enthusiastic crowds in clubs around Belfast before “Whiskey in the Jar” became a huge hit and propelled the band to legendary stardom.

Selling Points Throughout his career, Aynsley Dunbar has proven his ability to perfectly master a variety of different musical styles, including blues, jazz, fusion, rock, and progressive rock. For over forty years, Dunbar has been one of the greatest drummers on the scene, recording with Frank Zappa, Journey, David Bowie, Lou Reed, Sammy Hagar, Jefferson Starship, Whitesnake, Pat Travers, John Lee Hooker, and more. No other modern rock musician—let alone drummer—has played and/or recorded with such an impressive list of talented and successful musicians!

He was a close contemporary and friend of Manuel de Falla (1876–1946), but never became as famous.

• This disc brings to a conclusion the first collection of Llobet’s entire output, published and unpublished, from 1896 to 1935. The album is named after the Impromptu Respuesta (“The Answer”).

• Llobet’s work is unmistakably personal, exploring new directions in guitar playing and the sort of harmonies that would have puzzled any composer/guitarist who came before him. Nevertheless, he wins over his listeners with warmth and humor.

Niccolò Castiglioni (1932–1996) was an Italian composer and pianist who refused to be swept away by the currents all around him, yet whose music today seems unquestionably “modern.” He named his greatest influences as Anton Webern and Franz Schubert!

• Castiglioni’s music underwent a continuous process of evolution. It is noted for clarity and brightness, elaborate filigree, and the importance of timbre as a structural element.

David DEL PUERTO Symphony No. 2 Ananda Sukarlan: piano/Manuel Guillén: violin/Orquesta de la Comunidad de Madrid/ José Ramón Encinar: conductor DEL PUERTO: Symphony No. 2 “Nusantara” for piano and orchestra (2005) • Concerto for violin and orchestra (1997) Nusantara is the ancient name of Indonesia and simply means “archipelago.” The solo part of this work was written for the Indonesian musician Ananda Sukarlan.

• Composed in 2005, Nusantara employs a pentatonic scale typical of Gamelan music.

• The Concerto for Violin was written in 1997 and calls for far larger forces than Nusantara. Despite this, the overall sound is generally leaner and tends towards a more chamber-like orchestration.

• David del Puerto, born in Madrid in 1964, studied guitar and harmony. Since 1985 his works have been performed at festivals and concert seasons worldwide.

• His Oboe Concerto won the Gaudeamus Prize in Amsterdam in 1993, the same year he won a major award from Spanish National Radio.

His opera Ferramondo was produced in 1836, and in 1844 he became director of the Italian Opera in Berlin.

Giacomo Antonio Perti (1661–1756) was a significant figure of the Bolognese school in the Italian Baroque. He lived for ninety-five years, dying in the year of Mozart’s birth, and served as maestro di cappella of San Petronio for sixty years. He composed a large number of works, many of which, unfortunately, have been lost. Some twentythree oratorios, twenty-eight Masses, and 130 cantatas are listed under his name.

Selling Points Following Matisyahu’s dramatic crossover from the Jewish market into the secular world, the most popular female New York Jewish musical artist is ready to break out!

• Haran features catchy songs that blend a Middle Eastern sound with contemporary hooks and a folk/pop mentality. Easy to dance to, it works for all audiences.

• Blending a psychedelic sensibility and a pan-Mediterranean sensuality, Basya Schechter leads her band through swirling Hasidic chants, Mizrachi and Sephardi folk-rock, and spiritual stylings filtered through percussion, flute, strings, and electronica.

• Her sound has been cultivated by her Hasidic music background and a series of trips to the Middle East, Africa, Israel, Egypt, Central Africa, Turkey, Kurdistan, and Greece. She has recorded four albums: three with Pharaoh’s Daughter and one instrumental exploration with Persian santur player Alan Kushan.

• Over the past two years, Schechter was the recipient of numerous compositional and project grants from the New York State Council of the Arts, American Composers Forum, and American Music Center.

• Large following in New York, with an existing fan base from seven years of performing in major Jewish communities throughout North America.

• Rock Paper Scissors—the leading world music publicity company—will work on this release. They specialize in US publicity and marketing for the best current world music artists on Nonesuch, Harmonia Mundi, and dozens of other labels.

“Seldom do I hear singing and music so suffused with gentle beauty and calmness as I did on Compassion. Tibetan vocalist Dechen Shak-Dagsay’s songs and mantras, impeccably accompanied by flute, piano, Tibetan bowls, tambura, and subtle synthesizer textures, wrap around you like a soft blanket, comforting and imbuing you with a sense of inner peace and serenity. These songs are a spiritual oasis for our troubled souls in these perilous times, and only the most hardened of hearts will remain unaffected by this recording.”

I thought it was very soothing and melodic.” — Gina Johnson, Licensed Massage Therapist “The hauntingly beautiful melodies are mellow enough to play in the background during a meditation, yet emotionally charged enough to bring tears to the listener’s eyes.
