Steve Haines: And the Third Floor Orchestra
by Jerome Wilson
In the Fifties and Sixties it was very common to have jazz recordings that would feature a vocal or instrumental soloist like Ella Fitzgerald or Stan Getz in front of a full orchestra.

Camilla Battaglia: EMIT: Rotator Tenet
by Angelo Leonardi
Definire Camilla Battaglia una cantante jazz è riduttivo. Certamente l'espressione vocale è il suo tratto saliente ma solo marginalmente si lega al canto jazz tradizionale, perché trova nel panorama contemporaneo gli elementi per costruire la propria identità.

Steve Haines: And the Third Floor Orchestra
by Jack Bowers
This is by and large lovely music, to be sure, but to paraphrase a Burger King ad from years gone by, “Where's the jazz?"

Instead, composer / arranger Steve Haines and the Third Floor Orchestra canvass ...
