​A nice debut album, that combines smooth jazz with funky R&B jazz. 

​For his new album "Royal Tea", Joe Bonamassa was inspired by his British guitar heroes Jeff Beck, John Mayall, Eric Clapton and the superband Cream. For this recording process he went to the legendary London Abbey Road Studio. His touring band with drummer Anton Fig, bassist Michael Rhodes and keyboard virtuoso Reese Wynans formed the rhythm section. Kevin Shirley signed on as producer. "Royal Tea" completes the circle for Bonamassa with the type of British blues he discovered as a child in his father's record collection. Joe Bonamassa has perhaps his most differentiated record in the music shops. We bow deeply to Joe Bonamassa….! 

​Chubby Checker may, rightly or wrongly, be seen as the King of the Twist, but fact is that Joey Dee and his companions, in the early sixties, were very close behind him. Jasmine bundled 29 danceable tracks, which inevitably reminds us of the slogan ‘twistin 'time is here’.

​A beautiful album with contemporary & smooth jazz and funk. Something for everybody!

​As on the acclaimed albums "Enjoy It While You Can" (2016) and "Moon Over Montgomery" of 2017, The Brothers continue to perform a sophisticated mixture of horn-driven blues, Memphis soul, swinging gospel and pop tinted rock songs. The album "A Time Like This" is perhaps the most divergent record for The McKee Brothers. Handsome..!

​Weaving both the skills of Aaron and Michael gives this album wings.  Beautiful inventive compositions with a lot of emotional triggers. Great!

​A beautiful, atmospheric album with a message of hope. 

​This album offers an occasion to feel the Navajo way of life. 

​The 29 tracks on this album undeniable proof that Lee was not only a great performer, but that he also managed to put songs that were hits in America, with taste and knowledge in a British guise. His versatility certainly lent him a helping hand. The well-known songs sometimes sound a bit like the early Beatles, while he also had the gift to give other songs an Elvis touch. Therefore there  is no question of blind copying. Fans of British sixties rock and roll should have this in their record collection.

​Dave Riley and Bob Corritore play powerful down home blues, deeply rooted in Chicago and Mississippi. A natural musical chemistry and friendship manifests itself in the twelve songs. This duo found their soulmates in Johnny rap (guitar), Matt Bishop (piano), Dave Riley Jr. and Paul Thomes on bass and drummer Tom Coulson. Songs like the acoustic "Overalls", the Muddy Waters enthusiastic "Come Here Woman", the Windy City electrified "Let's Have Some Fun Tonight" and the shuffle "My Babies Gone" are existent chapiters. Superb…!       

​A nice album, which brings the fusion back under our attention. 

​Let Sequentia Legenda take you beyond the known universe and enjoy his cosmic soundscapes. 

​Again an album that lovers of fusion will approve of. 

The "Cold Chills" collection offers a portion of fourteen songs (and a phone message to John Brim) from those great sessions. The duo Gray/Corritore worked together for over 22 years. In addition to eight Henry Gray vocas, many special guests including John Brim, Tail Dragger, Eddie Taylor Jr., Jimi Primetime Smith, Chief Schabuttie Gilliame, Bob Stroger, Illinios Slim, Bob Margolin and Rockin 'Johnny Burgin contribute to the blues magic that spontaneously arises here! Grey's Chicago piano blues structure and very pleasant vocal timbre find backing by an all-stars blues ensemble and Bob’s harp-ace. Although he leaves the vocals to Tail Dragger in songs like "Hurt You Feelings" and "Birthday Blues". Jimi Smith is vocally preparing "You For Me" and John Brim is also allowed to lend his voice to his "Moonlight Blues". Even Hank Ballard's "The Twist" is an absolute highlight, just as J.B. Lenoir's "The Mojo" and the swinging ‘Javelina Jamboree’. This is a wonderful document and musically testament to and from Henry Gray ..!

​Spellbounding experiment in the alternative rock landscape.  Nashville meets London… create a special vibe.  Listen at least two times and you are lost, I promise you!

Legendary Southern California blues guitar player Kid Ramos and Chicagoan harmonica player / producer Bob Corritore collaborated on four powerful studio recording sessions in Phoenix from the late 1990's to early 2000's. These sessions were built around some great vocalists: Henry Gray, Nappy Brown, Big Pete Pearson, Chico Chism, Doctor Fish and Chief Schabuttie Gilliame. This is old-fashioned and down-home Chicago blues. Splendid..!!

​Roy Orbison, The Big ‘O’, died on December 6, 1988, one of the most beautiful voices of the last century. Like many of his fellow artists at the time, Roy also started his career with Sam Phillips's Sun label. This compilation contains the A and B sides of the first seventeen singles for Jewel, Sun, RCA Victor and Monument, recorded between 1956 and 1962.
Songs that you can all listen here in their original form. Lots of Orbison compilations are circulating, but his songs are still best expressed as they were recorded, namely in mono. That’s the reason why this Jasmine disc is an absolute must.

​The release "Weed 'Em & Reap" is yet another great album for the band Misty Blues. The eleven songs are deeply rooted in the blues tradition, while there is also a lot of jazz, funk and soul floating around in the arrangements. The opening song "No More To Give" immediately has that dark and slow realization. Gina Coleman sings through those sad and groaning lyrics with her low soul voice and accompanies herself on cigar box guitar. Keyboardist Benny Kohn, trumpet player Bill Patriquin, Aaron Dean on sax, drummers Rob Tatten and Gina's eldest son Diego Mongue, and guitarists Seth Fleishmann and Wes Buckley complete the tight rhythm section.
A lots of blues, a few New Orleans rhythms, handy jazz arrangements and some rare ballads are a cool mixture on this release ..!

​Three years ago, Nikki had her solo debut "Love Will Lead You Home" in store shelves. Followed by the singles "When Do I Tell Him" and “Where Luck Can Find Me” in 2018. Now she is proud to promote the record" World Is Waiting ", which will be released on the Blackbird Records label. The tight backing band, lots of stimulating guitar riffs and acoustic strings, and Nikki's soulful timbre are a constant for many songs. Rock, Americana, country and some blues are the main constituents on this record.What a beautiful and relaxed album is "World Is Waiting"…!

​A varied album, with contemporary jazz and fusion. 

​Initially he was part of mainly gospel-inspired groups. In 1959 Tarheel Slim took a tour de force with the release of the single ‘Wildcat Tamer’ with the flipside ‘Number 9 Train’, a 45 RPM with two A sides as it turned out. On this magnificent collector you can listen to the evolution that Tarheel Slim went through in chronological order.

​As a singer songwriter, Greer often chooses to write songs about his personal experiences growing up and living on the Gulf Coast of Texas, near the Louisiana border. All this will ultimately also strongly influence him musically. After a first listen, his musical diversity and storytelling song lyrics are particularly striking. Greer went to Congress House Studio in Austin, Texas to collaborate with multi-instrumentalist / producer Mark Hallman and musical soulmates like Bradley Kopp (guitar) and violinist Richard Bowen. As an acoustic artist, he has a unique style that includes country, rock, Americana and bluegrass. Douglas Greer shares a lot of wisdom on his latest release "My Last Storm".. And for now, Replay please !

​This is a wonderful smooth jazz debut album, and I definitely want more!

​In 2017 there was the beautiful record "Feelin 'Freaky". Three years later, John Németh presents the release "Stronger Than Strong", his tenth release. And you can take that literally and figuratively. What a hell of a record! Németh returned to the Electraphonic label in December 2019 and with his seasoned road band The Blue Dreamers, he recorded ten original songs and two cover versions. John Németh has a very varying album on the shelves. "Stranger Than Strong" is already in my personal list of the best albums of 2020! This is a must have for you collection…

​Once again Mean Mary surprises with her acoustic performance on guitar and banjo.  You will never feel alone with her new album ‘Alone’.  Great folksongs!
