Earl Grant ~ "The House of Bamboo"
Earl Grant ~ "The House of Bamboo"
Earl Grant (January 20, 1931 - June 10, 1970) was an American easy listening pianist, Hammond organist, and vocalist popular in the 1950s and 1960s. Born in Idabel, Oklahoma, Grant was gifted with keyboard skills and a fine singing voice. Other instruments he was skilled at playing were trumpet, drums and Hammond organ. Grant attended four music schools, then became a music teacher, augmenting his income by performing in clubs during his army service, stationed in Fort Bliss, Texas. In 1953 Grant signed with Decca Records in 1957 and his first single "The End" reached number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Ebb Tide, released in 1961, was his first album, which also rose to number 7 on the Billboard 200. The single "Ebb Tide" sold over one million copies, gaining gold disc status. He recorded five more singles that made the charts, including "Swingin' Gently" (from Ebb Tide), and six additional albums (mostly on the Decca label) through 1968. He also recorded the album Yes Sirree and the instrumental album Trade Winds, single-tracked on the Hammond organ and piano, featuring the love theme from the film El Cid and Chaplin's "Eternally". This album featured some realistic sounding 'tropical bird calls' produced by his electric organ. "The House of Bamboo" was another big selling single. In all, Grant recorded 30 albums for Decca. Several of his albums featured tenor saxophonist Plas Johnson. Grant also made a few appearances in film and television, including Tender Is the Night (1962), Juke Box Rhythm (1959), and The Ed Sullivan Show (1961). He died instantly in a car accident in Lordsburg, New Mexico, at the age of 39 when the car he was driving ran off Interstate 10. He was driving from Los Angeles to and intended destination Juarez, Mexico. His 17 year old cousin was also killed in the accident.

Virginia Rodrigues ~ Jeito Faceiro
Virginia Rodrigues ~ Jeito Faceiro
Virginia Rodrigues (Salvador, December 31, 1964) is a Brazilian singer. She was discovered by Caetano Veloso during a rehearsal of the Bando de Teatro Olodum in Salvador, in 1997. Her music is influenced by classical music, samba and jazz, while her lyrics have references to entities of Candomblé and Umbanda. Her prolific and serious voice reaches high notes from deeper tones and even more is a typical case of Brazil, a talented artist and very well recognized internationally, but ignored in Brazil. After years singing in both Catholic and Protestant church choirs, she was invited by the director Márcio Meirelles to attend part Pelô Bye Bye, where Caetano saw her first. From humble origins, Virginia brings lyrical and popular references of what he heard in childhood and youth. The result is that her singing wanders between classical and popular. The first album was produced by Celso Fonseca and had arrangements by Eduardo Souto Neto. The songs were chosen by Virginia, Veloso and Celso Fonseca, and includes songs like Night Time, by Dorival Caymmi, in addition to interests of Djavan, Gilberto Gil and Milton Nascimento. Their first album Sol Negro was well received in the United States and Europe, earning the singer rare criticism. The Times of London wrote: "... The new diva of Brazilian music, the singer from Bahia, 33, moved all over Brazil with her debut album Sol Negro, a rich blend of African and Portuguese influences and samba roots being also praised by newspaper Le Monde and the magazine Rolling Stones. The history of Bahian singer Virginia Rodrigues was so well known internationally that American journalists have nicknamed her "Cinderella Brazil". Ex-manicure leaving a slum of Salvador held in one year, two United States tours, concerts in Europe and was interviewed by David Byrne, live on U.S. television. In the United States, Europe and Japan, their first album came out of Virginia by the Rykodisc label, owned by Chris Blackwell. On her second album, Nós, Virginia honors the african blocks of Salvador. Its stylish and sophisticated singing sings songs of Ile Aiye, Olodum, Timbaland, Ara Ketu and Afreketê. The New York Times has defined it as "one of the most impressive singers who came from Brazil in recent years." One of the most impressive international releases of recent years wWrote Stephen Cook of the" All Music Guide. " Virginia reaches the third CD, Mares Profundos, crowned by success abroad - although it is still unknown in her homeland. Released in January 2004 in the United States, Mares Profundos arrived in Brazil with simultaneous editing in Europe. The seal of the album is the prestigious Edge, the German label Deutsche Grammophon, the more traditional classical music. The production, of course, is Caetano. The repertoire is venerable: 11 african-sambas composed between 1962 and 1966 by guitarist Baden Powell (1937-2000) and the poet Vinicius de Moraes (1913-1980). The program closes with samba 'Lapinha' (Baden-Paulo Cesar Pinheiro). Four years after releasing her latest album, Virginia Rodrigues is coming back with the album Recomeço, which talks about love dual timeless and ubiquitous issue in the songbook, and much discussed in the composition. As a performer that is cut, exudes a classic recurring originality of Brazilian music. Her singing chamber music together with the understanding of the folk song gives a new meaning to poetry by Chico Buarque, as the dreamy "Every Feeling" (with Christopher Bastos) and "Brian" (Edu Lobo), Vinicius de Moraes, either with Francis Hime - the little known "I Love You Love", or Tom, the ancestral partner in gems like "All My Life" and "Estrada Branca" or even the great hymn of Dolores Duran, "The Night of My Well ". Today Rodrigues is the most respected singer in the circuit of the most important festivals of jazz and world music throughout the world, participating in several world tours. Among her fans is former U.S. president Bill Clinton, who was delighted to attend her presentation in São Paulo. In an interview, Clinton once said that she was the singer who he liked best in the world. He devoted a passage to Virginia in his memoir "My Life." The New York Times called her voice as "heavenly." Virginia Rodrigues made an appearance in the movie Solomon Wally Ana Carolina Teixeira Soares.

Patricia Barber ~ The Beat Goes On
Patricia Barber ~ The Beat Goes On
Patricia Barber (born November 8, 1955, Chicago, Illinois) is an American jazz and blues singer, pianist, songwriter, and bandleader. She was awarded Guggenheim Fellowship in 2003 in Creative Arts - Music Composition field. She was born to parents who were both professional musicians; her father is Floyd "Shim" Barber, a former member of Glenn Miller's Band. She was raised in South Sioux City, Nebraska. Her music is centered on her singing, in a fairly low register and a traditional blues-jazz style, and her piano playing, which is technically accomplished. Her repertoire includes original compositions and standards drawn mostly from classic rock, including "Ode to Billie Joe," "A Taste of Honey," and "Black Magic Woman." She is known for imbuing her songs with intelligence and a wide and unusual vocabulary, which results in complex and witty lyrics. Her 2006 album, Mythologies, is a set of songs based on Ovid's Metamorphoses. In 2007, Premonition Records presented The Premonition Years: 1994-2002, a three-CD box set of Barber recordings divided into originals, standards, and pop. The set includes unreleased tracks and selected songs previously released on Cafe Blue, Modern Cool, Companion, Nightclub and Verse. Those five albums have been reissued by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab on SACD and limited edition 45 rpm half speed mastered, 180 gram audiophile vinyl. In September 2008, she released "The Cole Porter Mix," a collection of her unique takes on the classic Cole Porter songbook, as well as three original compositions inspired by Porter. Barber is a lesbian; interviews with her suggest that she does not try to hide this fact, but that she 'tires' of the public interest in her sexuality and dislikes the fact that it contributes to her fame. In November 2008, she was interviewed by Gregg Shapiro of Gay & Lesbian Times, a San Diego magazine. *** The Beat Goes On ~ The Best of Sonny & Cher The Beat Goes On: The Best of Sonny & Cher is the sixth compilation album by American pop rock duo Sonny & Cher, released in 1991 by Atco/Atlantic Records and did not enter the album charts. The Beat Goes On: The Best of Sonny & Cher is a collection of Sonny and Cher's classic Atco era; the compilation covers a lot of ground for a single-disc anthology. Besides the duo's hits, it includes some Bono solo singles, most notably the 45 edit of "My Best Friend's Girl is Out of Sight," from his 1967 solo album Inner Views. None of Cher's solo material is here, which lends a slightly lopsided view of the duo's history. A handful of their songs, such as "Baby Don't Go" and their breakout "I Got You Babe", represent the peak of a certain style of commercial folk-pop that was one of the defining sounds of the 1960s. It also includes lesser-known tracks, like the full-on Phil Spector tribute "It's the Little Things," the waltz-time "A Beautiful Story," and a spoken-word b-side called "Hello,".

Lamb ~ Gabriel
Lamb ~ Gabriel
Lamb is an electronic music duo from Manchester, England, whose music is influenced by trip hop and drum and bass. The duo consists of producer Andy Barlow, who also produces under the pseudonym Hipoptimist, and singer-songwriter Lou Rhodes. They achieved commercial success with two hit singles "Górecki" and "Gabriel". Lamb's core members were Barlow and Rhodes, although the band subsequently expanded to include bassist Jon Thorne, Icelandic guitarist Oddur Mar Runnarson, and Danish drummer Nikolaj Bjerre. London-based string trio Chi 2 Strings and trumpet player Kevin Davy were frequent guest musicians. They released their first album, the self-titled Lamb in September 1996, and followed this up with another three albums and a cache of singles over the next eight years, culminating in the release of a greatest hits album, Best Kept Secrets, in June 2004. While they seemed destined for stardom, it seemed to evade them and during the early 2000s they lost momentum and played live only sporadically. Still, a 2004 tour produced memorable shows, according to the British press. Lamb performed what was billed as their final live appearance at the Paradiso in Amsterdam in September 2004. Their 2003 album Between Darkness and Wonder proved to be their last studio album; the duo had always been "combustible," and both went solo. Rhodes left the music world briefly for a commune, and in 2006 released her first solo album. Although getting their start in Manchester, Lamb are more commonly associated with the Bristol-based trip hop sound that was popular during the 1990s. Aside from trip hop, their musical style is a distinctive mixture of jazz, dub, breaks and drum and bass, with a strong vocal element and, in their later works especially, some acoustic influences. While they were a hit phenomenon in the UK, they found limited success in other parts of the world, despite securing distribution. Portugal was an exception, however; the band achieved crossover success there, including one major number one hit with "Gabriel," the lead single from 2001's What Sound. The band produces experimental work with a distinctive production style, which includes passionate lyrical delivery. Their artistic videos draw on influences ranging from Cyberpunk through George Lucas' THX 1138 to Zen Buddhism. By far their best-known track to date is "Górecki", from their eponymous debut album. The song is inspired by Henryk Górecki's Third Symphony, the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. Part of the lyrics to "Górecki" were used by Baz Luhrmann for some of Satine's lines in Moulin Rouge!. The song was used in an advertisement for Guinness and an advertisement for the Tomb Raider: Underworld video game. It was also featured on the soundtrack of the 1998 Hollywood film "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer". The 2004 DVD The Fall & Rise of the Fools Ark, a roadmovie by Dutch duo Dadara and Jesse for which Lamb provided the music, is an animated roadmovie in the style of Monty Python and Yellow Submarine. During the band's hiatus, both were working on a variety of solo projects. Rhodes released her debut solo album Beloved One on her own label Infinite Bloom in 2006. This was followed by Bloom in 2008 and One Good Thing in 2010. Barlow worked on a project called "Hoof" (together with Oddur Runasson, among others, who also appeared on Rhodes' solo debut), which has performed live a number of times but as of 2011 not released an album. Barlow also worked on a project called "Luna Seeds" with vocalist–songwriter Carrie Tree (also without releasing an album so far), and produced the Fink album Distance and Time. In February 2009, the organisers of The Big Chill music festival announced that Lamb would be re-forming to perform at the August 2009 event. The band subsequently announced two further appearances, at Cactus Festival and Beautiful Days Festival, and also played the Glastonbury festival and made appearances at festivals in Porto, Portugal and Prague, Czech Republic, among others. At the time, no announcement was made as to whether the band would be releasing new material, or whether the festival tour was going to be a one-off. Later in 2009, the band announced concert dates for 2010 as well. During one of those shows, on 3 January 2010 at The Tivoli in Brisbane Australia (the 32nd gig out of an initially planned 7), Andy Barlow stated that it would be their "last gig ever, but who knows". Barlow later followed up on Lambs Facebook fan page on 7 January, "I have a strong feeling that there will be more Lamb shows, It doesn't seem like it has reached its finale just yet". In December 2010, the band sent another e-mail to fans, announcing the recording of their fifth album, to be titled 5. A selection of songs from the album were previewed at Playground Weekender music festival near Sydney, Australia on 20 February, 2011. A special edition of the album, hand-numbered and limited to 2800 copies, could be pre-ordered through Lamb's website and was shipped to fans in May 2011, followed by the commercial release of the standard edition on 9 June in the UK. Other European countries saw slightly later release dates. The band started a European tour to promote the new album on May 19 in Kiev, and are scheduled to play further concerts - including festival appearances - throughout the summer of 2011.
