It's De-Lovely

Featuring the music of Robin Simone
Duration: 3:20
June 6, 2025

Three-time charting singer-songwriter and band leader Robin Simone fronts a seventeen-piece big band and dedicates her debut album "To those artistic dreamers, the lovers of Hollywood films and its incredible music." An industry musician who has worked on various national TV shows and who was inspired at a young age by her loving mother who sang songs from the movies, Simone chose this special concept album to share her musical dream for all to remember and enjoy the music of the movies.

Though the singer's main instrumental support comes from her entire orchestra, her immediate backup group is a trio comprised of pianist Mike Greenwood, bassist Isabel Dobrev and drummer Liam Wallace.

The album was designed to make it feel like watching a favorite Broadway show. The music opens up with an "Overture" and progresses through several familiar songs from The Great American Songbook before coming to an "Intermission," then rejoining the show for the last chapter and concluding with the "Curtain Call." However, that is not the finale as that honor goes to "Swingin' on a Star with Joe (Tribute to Ella)" a raucous, playful and rambunctious way to sign off and close the curtains.

However, between the beginning and the end of the album there is a lot of sensational music to be heard, starting with "The Hollywood Medley" where Simone's sultry vocals claim the familiar "Hurray for Hollywood," the obligatory "No Business Like Show Business" and "That's Entertainment" with the big band in support playing loud and lively. The singer proceeds to belt out two incredible versions of the 1948 musical Kiss Me, Kate Cole Porter song "So in Love" as well as an emotional performance of the Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer classic "Come Rain or Come Shine" from the Broadway play St. Louis Woman. She returns with another Porter classic from the 1936 musical with a big band splash of the standard "It's De-Lovely" with propulsive statements from the band accompanying the leader on another beautiful interpretation of the classic. Songs of love changes the theme of the tunes beginning with an emotional performance on "Everything Must Change," "The Windmills of Your Mind" from French composer Michel Legrand introduced in the 1968 movie The Thomas Crown Affair and finally a beautiful interpretation of the Harold Arlen/Ira Gershwin "The Man That Got Away" first introduced in the 1954 film A Star is Born.

Chick Corea Acoustic Band & Bobby McFerrin

Featuring the music of Chick Corea
Duration: 13:32
June 1, 2025

The late, genius pianist Chick Corea knew there is power in numbers. Many of his finest live recordings feature his working quartet at the time or a duo with a brilliant partner. With this version of "Autumn Leaves," Corea achieved the pinnacle of both formats. Guest singer Bobby McFerrin co-vamps over the extended introduction, inventing patterns, mimicking jungle sounds and displaying more vocal elasticity then a freshly-opened packet of rubber bands. Once the melody of the song is revealed at [2:38] and the hard swinging bottom of John Patitucci on bass and Tom Brechtlein on drums kicks in, the band is off on a high-energy expedition you cannot stop enjoying… for years.

Official Trailer for 4K Restoration of Oscar Winner Artie Shaw: Time Is All You've Got

Featuring the music of Artie Shaw
Duration: 1:21
April 8, 2025

Outspoken, manipulative, independent thinking and oftentimes controversial, Artie Shaw (1910-2004) was one of the most popular stars of the Swing Era, who famously broke the color barrier by hiring the legendary Billie Holiday, Hot Lips Page and Roy Eldridge for his bands. His complex love-hate relationship with his own celebrity caused him to walk away from performing almost as many times as he walked away from his marriages.

Winner of the 1987 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, Artie Shaw: Time Is All You've Got, which premieres on VOD & leading digital outlets on April 25, portrays the restless life and five- decade career of the gifted clarinetist/bandleader known as the “King of the Clarinet.” Anchored by an incisive interview recorded when he was 72 years old, this entertaining portrait is much more than a jazz film; it is the insightful story of a brilliant and complex individual.
