Enter the 'Arctic' with Ratatet on Ridgeway Records [REVIEW]
Late Hammond B3 Legend Larry Young 'In Paris: The ORTF Recordings.' Resonance Records [REVIEW]
This one is a real find. Hammond B3 organist Larry Young, like many of his jazz contemporaries, found himself living and working in Paris in 1964. The music on the two-disc 'In Paris: The ORTF Recordings' (Resonance Records) has been heard exactly once: live on French radio. These tapes have been meticulously maintained by the French National Audiovisual Institute for the last half-century and released now, for the first time. 'Janis: Little Girl Blue' Soundtrack on Columbia/Legacy Recordings is Bittersweet [REVIEW]
It is said that by the time Janis Joplin reached fame and fortune, most of her voice had been blown out. The soundtrack to Amy J.

She was, after all, a blues singer, first and foremost.
