• This DVD traces the rise of Nancy LaMott’s career, from her earliest days in a small club in San Francisco through the Algonquin, The Palace Theater, and national television shows such as Good Morning America, Live, The Today Show, and The Charles Grodin Show.

press quotes “[She] is more than just another good girl singer. Her voice is a flawless instrument, but she also possesses that ineffable spirit and ability to communicate that separates the good from the truly great. LaMott is a singer’s singer and a critic’s dream. If you want to see how it’s done, Nancy LaMott can show you. It doesn’t get better than this.” — Backstage “A singer who didn’t have a dishonest note in her.” — Stephen Holden, New York Times “Exquisite phrasing … she’s like a young Rosemary Clooney.”

— New York Daily News “Whatever she sang, Ms. LaMott invested it with a hint of swing, a dash of humor, and deep understanding of how a good song can distill a lifetime’s experience.” — New York Times media & marketing Phil Putnam Public Relations will handle an across-the-board marketing and promotion plan including national press releases, feature-length artist bio distribution, CDs and DVDs mailed to critics and reviewers, extensive followup, targeted industry distribution, a major email campaign, MySpace, website, and more.

Impressive at every musician’s station, this ensemble produces music that’s charming and elegant.” — Variety

— New York Post “Mr. Page had the audience snapping their fingers and tapping their feet … warm exhilarating stage presence.” — Parlee Media & Marketing Service to theatre and online press outlets.

Selling Points • The 1950 edition of Duke Ellington’s famous orchestra offered an extremely

intensive and emotionally deep performance. Ellington’s orchestra must be termed “unique,” for it preceded all others at that time.

• Soloists like Ray Nance, Ernie Royal, Johnny Hodges, Harry Carney, Lawrence Brown, Jimmy Hamilton, and Ellington’s alter ego Billy Strayhorn offered great performances—the same way they would for another 25 years!

Only long-time drummer Sonny Greer, who suffered from “burn-out syndrome,” had to be supported by drummer Butch Ballard.

• A considerable amount of these arrangements were written by the leader for the respective soloist, all of them great personalities. Add the beautiful soprano voice of the lovely Kay Davis, and you’ll get an idea of a perfect performance by the best orchestra of that time.

Clearly he is a major American composer.”

— David Harrington, Kronos Quartet “Raymond Scott was like an audio version of Andy Warhol; he preceded Pop-Art sensibilities, and he played with that line between commercial art and fine art, mixing elements of both worlds together.

Ulf Wakenius Notes from the Heart

Lars Danielsson Libera Me [SACD]

“A consistently brilliant player over the past 25 years, Wakenius stands to gain considerably more attention on the strength of this beautifully conceived and eminently accessible album.” — Bill Milkowski, JazzTimes

“This intriguing set features the compositions and bass playing of Lars Danielsson. The music is beautifully recorded, often sparse (à la ECM), and thoughtful … works well as both background music and for close listening.” — Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

“Swedish guitarist Ulf Wakenius’ style has clearly been filtered through Keith Jarrett and Pat Metheny, but that’s not to imply he lacks his own voice ... By approaching not only some of Jarrett’s more wellknown songs, but also material from his solo piano improvisations, Wakenius proves Jarrett’s statement that the real time compositional nature of improvisation is more than self-justification for abandoning conventional writing.” — All About Jazz

“An ambitious, large-scale project involving the Danish Radio Concert Orchestra. The music was lush, and so was the SACD 5.1channel surround sound ... Danielsson, from Sweden, is one of the most poetically expressive bassists in jazz.” — JazzTimes

This is the story of the construction and defense of Hitler’s three-mile deep web of fortifications, pillboxes, troop shelters, and anti-tank obstacles that ran along Germany’s western frontier.

“The Siegfried Line,” as it was nicknamed by the Allies, and the natural barrier formed by the Rhine River, were key to Germany’s defense of its Western Front. The breaching of the Siegfried Line at the Battle of the West Wall, and the subsequent crossing of the Rhine barrier at Remagen, heralded the collapse of German resistance in the West.

Featuring fascinating archive footage from all over the world, the program includes a review of the political and military situation before the battle, portraits of leaders and commanders, an explanation of weapons and tactics, and the story of the battle itself.

The battle for Okinawa, chosen to be the final springboard for an Allied invasion of Japan, claimed more American lives than any other battle in the Pacific campaign. The Japanese had constructed a formidable series of defenses and were prepared to fight for every inch of the island’s soil. The battle included a 700-plane Kamikaze raid against the US naval fleet. US casualties were estimated to be 49,000. Ultimately US forces took control of the island in June 1945 and in August, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki brought the war against Japan to a dramatic end This episode is from the landmark television series Battlefield.

In August 1943 the Romanians—no doubt prompted by merciless Allied bombing—changed sides. Thereafter, events moved swiftly: the Russians soon captured the vital Ploesti oil fields, a huge loss to the German war effort, and within days the Soviets captured Bucharest. A nervous Bulgaria sued for peace with the Allies, but the Russians pushed on into Sofia. Despite German delaying tactics, Hungary fell next. In Yugoslavia the Germans held grimly on to Belgrade until October. The bloody mop-up fighting was left to the Soviets and lasted until the end of the war.

In August 1944, with the battle for the beaches won, Allied troops were advancing through Normandy. The Falaise Gap, southeast of Caen, represented the only remaining escape route for the Germans. In danger of being overrun, the Germans were determined to extract their forces before becoming completely encircled. The subsequent fighting in the hedgerows and fields was intense, as the Allies battled to overcome 150,000 determined Germans. The Gap was finally closed on August 19. Approximately 50,000 trapped German soldiers surrendered. Germans losses, especially of heavy guns and tanks, were catastrophic.
