http://www.link.ge/file/126794/Nick-The-Ni...-2008-.zip.htmlThe album takes the title from the first trace, "The Devil", written by Nick The Nightfly after having seen the film "Ray" (by Taylor Hackford) that it tells the life Ray Charles (splendidly interpreted by Jamie Foxx). The rhythm "bright" united to the sound "light", the text of the passage they are contrasted to that hides an accusation towards the consumerism of our days. "The Devil" it is marvelously interpreted by Nick in duet with Sarah Jane Morris, that perfectly represents "diavoletta" that she lives in each of us, giving life to the temptations typical of the daily life. "The Devil" it is a trip inside of me, inside my past. and every time that the listening returns me to the mind my godfather that often said: "Follow your heart and do better than yours, the devil thinks about the rest! For this disk Nick The Nightfly has used some collaboration of the MONTERCARLO NIGHTS you/he/she Orchestrates directed by Gabriele Comeglio, the orchestra picks up some of the most prestigious present names on the Italian musical scene; it deals with session man and soloist of undisputed value with a great orchestral experience to the shoulders.

The orchestra is born from a' idea of Nick The Nightfly with the patronage of Radio Mountain Charles, of its publisher Alberto Hazan under the direction of Gabriele Comeglio. The thanks "special" of Nick they go to the friends Sarah Jane Morris that it sings in "The Devil" and "Can't Buy Me Love" and to Paul Fresu for the solo of flügelhorn in "Berchidda Blues" (passage that Nick has written for him).

http://www.allshares.ge/download.php?id=4CEC311A20A major improvement on her debut (which found Nnenna Freelon overly influenced by Sarah Vaughan), the singer's second effort has many highpoints including outstanding versions of "'Tis Autumn," Duke Ellington's "Heritage" (a challenging and very personal song), "Prelude to a Kiss" and "Comes Love." Backed by a superior rhythm seciton and occasional horns, Freelon (even if this set bogs down a bit near the end due to too many ballads) is quite expressive, relaxed and consistently creative. This is a very impressive effort from one of the most promising jazz vocalists of the 1990s.

Cannonball Adderley-The Soul Zodiac 1972
http://www.link.ge/file/126805/Soul-Zodiac.zip.htmlNat, cornet; George Duke, electric piano; Walter Booker, bass; Roy McCurdy, drums,
A few seconds of spacy echo loops and you know where this album is coming from - the early jazz/rock era, the Age of Aquarius and all that. Yet this crazy amalgam of jazz, rock, electronics, and spoken astrological advice by the popular Los Angeles DJ Rick Holmes actually works, for the music behind the soulfully intoned words is very inventive and Holmes plays effectively off its rhythms. Basically this is the Cannonball Adderley group (Nat, cornet; George Duke, electric piano; Walter Booker, bass; Roy McCurdy, drums), with the young eloquent Ernie Watts sitting in for Cannonball (who appears only on "Libra" and "Aries") on tenor and flute and Mike Deasy contributing wild psychedelic guitar at times. Indeed Nat seems like just the nominal leader of the session - Cannonball actually gets top billing as co-producer - though he plays spiritedly at all times. The music is very eclectic, ranging from mainstream jazz to freeform freakouts and even hilarious heavy-metal rock on the stomping 14-minute "Taurus." Actually these were expansions of the directions the Adderley group was exploring at the time, and one wonders how they determined the idiom for each sign. Whether or not you accept astrology, this double set is a lot of fun.
