Lady in Satin is an album by jazz singer Billie Holiday released in 1958 on Columbia Records, catalogue CL 1157 in mono and CS 8048 in stereo. It is the next to final album completed by the singer and released in her lifetime (Her final album, "Billie Holiday" being recorded in March 1959 and released just after her death). The original album was produced by Irving Townsend, and engineered by Fred Plaut.
The song material for Lady in Satin derived from the usual sources for Holiday in her three decade career, that of the Great American Songbook of classic pop. Unlike the bulk of Holiday's recordings, rather than in the setting of a jazz combo Holiday returns to the backdrop of full orchestral arrangements as done during her Decca years, this time in the contemporary vein of Frank Sinatra or Ella Fitzgerald on her Songbooks series. The album consists of songs Holiday had never recorded before.
The arrangements were by bandleader Ray Ellis, Holiday familiar with his Ellis in Wonderland album. Soloists on the album included Mel Davis, Urbie Green, and bebop trombone pioneer J.J. Johnson. The song "The End of a Love Affair" did not appear on the stereo release, CS 8048, the final track of side two being "I'll Be Around."

《迈尔斯戴维斯·泛蓝调调》是20世纪顶尖爵士乐手最完美的一次经典录音，透过重新数位制作呈献细腻感动的质素；也是认识史上最伟大爵士巨人Miles Davis的入门推荐，与爵士乐迷收藏的必备经典！

素有“黑暗王子”之称的小号巨擘 Miles Davis （1929-91）是一位奠定50年代酷派（Cool School）冷调风格，开创60年代末期Jazz-Rock 融合（Fusion）新乐风的先锋；受到波普（Bop）时期最具代表性萨克斯风大师Charlie Parker提携，Miles Davis由纽约52街的酒吧表演跨入大乐团，而后自组五重奏的历程，不仅绽放个人深刻色彩，更跨越肤色藩篱成就后起之秀。这张专辑除了获得企鹅爵士五星最高评价，也是各家乐评一致推荐的世纪不朽作品；自1959年发行至今届满四十周年，美国当地销售超越七十万张，全球销售高达两百万张。

“Kind Of Blue”谱写酷派爵士时期，调式爵士（modal）经典代表；由Miles Davis与作曲及钢琴家Bill Evans共同蕴织出主要行进线，以贯穿整张专辑的概念为主轴，藉着其他乐手的加入而渲染蔓延转化层次分明的无际空间。参与本专辑的乐手们在日后皆成为爵士乐界要角，而“Kind Of Blue”也是 Miles Davis五重奏巅峰时期的专辑，每一位乐手表现超高水准。中音萨克风手John Coltrane与Miles共有的灵巧思绪以纯熟的默契化作柔畅的旋律，在最具代表性曲目“So What”中，可以发现两人即兴演奏的精彩绝伦。而高音萨克斯风手“Connonball” Adderley、贝斯名将Paul Chambers和鼓手James Cobb在Miles穿针引线的前导带领，凝聚演绎技巧绝妙境界的最高张力。只出现在“Flamenco Sketches”一曲的钢琴大师Wynton Kelly，同样跟乐手们演出完美契合的对话，专辑还有未曾在黑胶唱片时收录的版本！

《Take Five》是一支为爵士乐做出划时代贡献的乐曲，也是爵士历史上最有名的乐曲之一。是否觉得Take Five这两个单词看上去似乎眼熟了？因为现在全世界以Take Five命名的咖啡厅、酒吧、店铺或是乐团太多了，所以才会使人有这种感觉。
上世纪五十年代末，Dave Brubeck Quartet组合中的灵魂人物中音萨克斯手Paul Desmond写了这一首名叫Take Five的四重奏乐曲，最开始时这首爵士乐以单曲的形式发行，由于采用了极为罕见的5/4拍，这在当时的爵士音乐界引起了强烈震动，并受到广泛批评，但在符合大众口味的金曲排行榜上却可以和彼时如日中天的猫王的歌曲抗衡。
以后的时间证明了，这种复杂节奏改变了当时人们陈旧、萎靡和一成不变的听力习惯，同时在探索爵士节奏的可能性上作出了深远影响。21世纪福克斯公司也曾经将此曲用做电影题头。
由于Paul Desmond在爵士历史上的地位与名气都远远不如Dave Brubeck，《Take Five》的曲作者经常被误以为是Dave Brubeck。而实际上由Dave Brubeck、Paul Desmond、Joe Morello、Eugene Wright组成的四重奏组合在1959年发行的专辑《Time Out》里，Dave Brubeck的确是除《Take Five》之外的所有乐曲的作者，这张专辑中八分之九拍、四分之五拍、四分之六拍等诸多非常规爵士乐节拍也有出现，但《Take Five》在爵士乐史上石破天惊的意义显然非专辑中其他乐曲可以比拟，在后来发行的绝大多数关于Dave Brubeck Quartet的精选专辑中，几乎100%都会收录。

AMPARO: Lee Ritenour and Dave Grusin with special guest stars; Joshua Bell, Chris Botti, Renee Fleming and James Taylor. Lee Ritenour and Dave Grusin are two legendary musicians primarily known for their work in jazz but also known by a broader musical community in classical crossover, film scores, instrumental and adult music. Recognized both as composers and players, they are artists with strong name recognition. AMPARO has them together again after eight years for a sequel to their Two Worlds album. Like Two Worlds; AMPARO brings music from different areas together. In AMPARO's case music from South America, classical, vocal and jazz. Ultimately, it continues to celebrate their love of music in all its forms. A romantic and rhythmic mix of timeless melodies from Classical and South American music.

Pharoah Sanders is an American jazz saxophonist. A member of John Coltrane's groups of the mid-1960s, Sanders is known for his overblowing, harmonic, and multiphonic techniques on the saxophone, as well as his use of "sheets of sound".
