This “best of” is a look back at the unique work of the first European band featured on the cover of US jazz bible DownBeat, and a tribute to its mastermind Esbjörn Svensson.

• Headed by Esbjörn Svensson (1964–2008), e.s.t. was undoubtedly one of the most important groups in jazz. This definitive collection celebrates the life and music of the late piano genius, drawn from the group’s stunning recording history on ACT. • Eighty minutes of 13 e.s.t. highlights, compiled by Dan Berglund and Magnus Öström.

Esbjörn Svensson: piano Dan Berglund: bass Magnus Öström: drums Track Listing: From Gagarin’s Point Of View • Dodge The Dodo • Good Morning Susie Soho • Spam-Boo-Limbo • Behind The Yashmark • Seven Days Of Falling • Viaticum • Strange Place For Snow • Believe • Beleft • Below • A Picture Of Doris Travelling With Boris • Goldwrap • Dolores In A Shoe.s.t.and • Leucocyte “This band is simply, uniquely, stunning. The elegant piano of Esbjörn Svensson is up there with the best that this genre has to offer.

Mixed with the skittering but oh-so-controlled drumming of Magnus Öström and the dynamic fuzztone bass of Dan Berglund you get an overwhelming, hypnotic, visceral experience.” — BBC Key Markets: New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Austin, Los Angeles, Seattle, Detroit

New releases

Recordings produced by Alan Douglas when he ran the jazz division of United Artists in 1962—some never on CD—featuring Art Blakey, John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Bill Evans, Billie Holiday, and more!

• For these recordings, Alan Douglas was able to round up an impressive list of talent for one-time-only appearances. By putting Bill Evans with Jim Hall, and Duke Ellington with Charles Mingus and Max Roach—which yielded two enduring classics—Douglas tried to get a mix of personalities that would create something different from what the musicians were already doing and thereby stand out from the rest of their catalogs.

• This exclusive compilation of Alan Douglas productions on Douglas Records from the Blue Note/United Artists catalog boasts a stunning line-up and features both successful classic recordings and tracks that have never been on CD before.

• Liner notes in English, French, and Italian.

• Alan Douglas will be available for interviews and special features.

Art Blakey, Betty Carter, John Coltrane, Kenny Dorham, Duke Ellington, Bill Evans, Jim Hall, Billie Holiday, Ken McIntyre, Jackie McLean, Herbie Mann, Lloyd G. Mayers, Charles Mingus, Oliver Nelson, King Pleasure, Max Roach, Wayne Shorter, Cecil Taylor, Phil Woods • Kenny Dorham: El Matador • Betty Carter: This Is Always • Duke Ellington: Caravan • Oliver Nelson with Phil Woods: Rendezvous • Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers: Three Blind Mice • Billie Holiday: My Man • Billie Holiday: Them There Eyes • Bill Evans and Jim Hall: My Funny Valentine • Herbie Mann: Brazil • John Coltrane: Just Friends • Charles Mingus Jazz Workshop: I Can’t Get Started • King Pleasure: I’m in the Mood for Love • Oliver Nelson with Lloyd G. Mayers: A Taste of Honey • Ken McIntyre: Say What “His business sense, ear for originality, and talent for bringing together unlikely musical partnerships was forged in the late ’50s out of a love for the music and a respect for the musicians he was dealing with.

Unlike many of his record executive contemporaries, Douglas was a man with trust on his side … [he] brokered some of the most influential recordings of the time … [and] their impact is still felt today.”

Few musicians can claim the versatility and depth of Bennie Wallace.

Cecil Taylor & Italian Instabile Orchestra The Owner of the River Bank

Gilad Atzmon Exile

This meeting of two legends of avant-garde jazz remains a unique and special event. Fresh from a successful appearance at the Chicago Jazz Fest in September 2000, the Italian Instabile Orchestra collaborated with Cecil Taylor, who obliged the musicians to take a fresh look at themselves and rethink their basic ideas of what making unconventional music implies. Formerly under license to Justin Time, now exclusively available from ENJA.

Jazz Album of the Year (2003) at the BBC Music Awards! Gilad Atzmon’s music moves more and more towards a cultural hybrid.

On Exile, he and his colleagues try to tell the story of Palestine, a country that was stormed by radical Zionists in the 20th century.

• Trumpeter Chet Baker became known in the 1950s as one of the “cool cats.” His lyrical blowing—distinguished by a seemingly endless melodic inventiveness and a dark, calm tone—matured over the years and reached its artistic peak in the ’70s and ’80s.

• When Baker came to Europe in 1978, he had just released several albums for CTI and A&M and he was full of energy and self-confidence. Assisted by his fine American tour band, including the fantastic Phil Markowitz on piano, Baker delivered an exceptional radio show for the SDR in Stuttgart, Germany.

• Fifteen years after Baker’s untimely death in Amsterdam, this beautifully balanced album is a worthy memorial for one of the greatest and most unmistakable improvisers in jazz. Oh You Crazy Moon is the fourth volume of the successful Chet Baker Legacy series co-produced by CCB and ENJA. • The program starts with “The Touch Of Your Lips,” a tune that shows that Baker was also a dedicated, crafty singer and passionate scat artist. As a trumpeter, he especially shines in such exquisite tunes as Wayne Shorter’s bossa melody “Beautiful Black Eyes,” Van Heusen’s “Oh You Crazy Moon” (vintage 1939), and Michel Legrand’s “Once Upon a Summertime.”

• Formerly under license to Justin Time, now exclusively available from ENJA.

• An exciting and resonant set from two masters of the jazz world’s international improvisatory school, and one newcomer! Tobias Preisig’s violin speaks with subtlety and finesse, an equal voice among his elders.

• Preisig recalls the bluesy grit of Stuff Smith, the fantasy-inducing elegance of Stephane Grapelli, and the eyebrow-raising élan of Jean-Luc Ponty—with a wisp of tzigane world-weariness. An enchanting debut!

Rise To Addiction Some Other Truth Rise To Addiction’s second album, Some Other Truth, is a collection of the finest modern classic rock by a young band that has a strong understanding of the history of the genre. The band is the brainchild of guitarists Steve Wray and John Slater, former members of ex-Iron Maiden vocalist Blaze Bailey’s band. A follow-up to the band’s highly acclaimed debut A New Shade of Black For The Soul, released in 2007 and produced by Andy Sneap (Killswitch Engage, Megadeth), Some Other Truth combines anthem-esque elements with melodic eccentricities, resulting in an antidote to the soulless and mundane music that litters the heavy rock scene these days.

Dengue Fever presents fourteen newly mastered 1960s surf-garage psychedelic rockers never before released outside Cambodia!

• Chosen by the members of Dengue Fever from their collection of rare Cambodian cassettes.

• “Shave Your Beard” by Ros Sereysothea has been recorded by Dengue Fever and is a staple in their live set.

• This music was recorded in the 1960s and early ’70s soon after Cambodia became an independent nation. It was a period of rapid modernization that not only influenced music, but also architecture, sculpture, painting, dance, and cinema. For many, it was Cambodia’s own artistic renaissance, a time pointing to a hopeful future.

• This golden era came to a sudden end when the Khmer Rouge took control of the country in 1975 and brutally attempted to destroy any trace of modern society. Sadly, while many of the recordings of modern Cambodian rock and roll survived, most of the artists who created it did not.

• Over the last decade Dengue Fever has culled this compilation of their favorite Cambodian rock and roll from many different cassette tapes. The great music you’ll find here is a testament to the spirit of a modern Cambodia that existed not so long ago, and should be remembered today.

• Dengue Fever will tour and promote the disc via live radio appearances.

• Give Me One Kiss • Don’t Speak • Jombang Jet • Flowers In The Pond • Shave Your Beard • I Will Marry You • I Want To Shout • Jasmine Girl • I Want To Be Your Lover • Hope To Meet You • Snaeha • I Will Starve Myself To Death • Unknown title by Pan Ron • Cold Sky Key Markets: Los Angeles, Long Beach, San Francisco, Austin, New Orleans, New York

• This anthology is a tribute to Giovanna Marini, a key artist and an emblematic figure of Italy’s oral song tradition.

• Born in Rome into a family of musicians, Giovanna Marini passed a degree in classical guitar at the Santa Cecilia School in Rome and perfected her skills with Andres Segovia. She then played the lute for a few years in the ensemble Concentus Antiqui, directed by Maestro Quaranta. In the early sixties, she met a group of intellectuals—among them Pier Paolo Pasolini and Italo Calvino—and discovered social songs and sung oral history.

• In 1964, the rather chic audience of Spoleto was shocked to be presented with Bella Chiao, a show of political and social songs. The show then toured throughout Italy, giving Marini an opportunity to sing and to gather traditional songs—all in the context of the fiery sixties.

They find their reference pieces in the Arab, Turkish, and Azeri repertoires, be they urban and ‘classical’ or country and ‘traditional.’

• Devoted to the original shape of the oud (the oriental lute), Marc & Thomas Loopuyt have studied the effectiveness of gut strings. They have collected more than seven traditional ways of making a plectrum—from feather, shell, or horn. The duo even experiments with the way of holding the instrument on the chest, as indicated in the Caucasian tradition and shown in ancient Arab, Persian, Turkish, and Andalusian miniatures.

• Their research and choices have converged towards varied and nuanced ways of expressing energy, as well as unsuspected freedom of breath and body posture. All this is concomitant with the rich structure of the old playing style, as it can be heard in sound archives.

• Bonus DVD with English subtitles of interviews.

• Booklet in both French and English.

Miriam Makeba The Legend Mama Africa’s greatest hits including “Pata Pata” and “The Click Song”! This carefully compiled collection is unique in that it contains all of Miriam Makeba’s best tracks from the early years through to her most recent songs—finally all together on one album! Known throughout the world as Mama Africa, the legendary Makeba has lived an extraordinary life. Born in South Africa, she first made her name as a featured vocalist with the Manhattan Brothers in 1954. Her incredible voice won her the lead role in King Kong, a Broadway-inspired South African musical, which she starred in with Hugh Masekela.

She went on to conquer America, where she sang at President Kennedy’s birthday and worked with Harry Belafonte to create such classics as “The Click Song” and “Pata Pata.” In 1963, after testifying against apartheid before the UN, Makeba was exiled. In 1968, she married Black Panther leader Stokely Carmichael and they fled to Guinea. She returned to prominence when she performed with Paul Simon on 1987’s Graceland Tour, and her 2000 album Homeland was a Grammy Award nominee.
