Claire Martin has been a driving force behind the UK jazz scene for the past 25 years and has won many accolades, including a British Jazz Award no less than six times. Her massive contribution to UK jazz was noted in 2011 when she was the proud recipient of an O.B.E. in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for her services to music. ‘Too Much in Love to Care' is a collection of classic romantic songs and beautiful ballads from The Great American Songbook with many of the tracks recorded in just one take, remarkable as it was the first time Claire and Kenny had played together.

Bad Benson is a 1974 studio album by American guitarist George Benson, released on CTI Records. Recorded at Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.

Jimmy Greene’s new release, "Beautiful Life" on Mack Avenue Records, is a celebration of the life of his 6-year-old daughter, Ana Márquez-Greene, whose life was tragically taken, along with 19 other children and 6 educators, on December 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. In late January 2013, Greene, feeling that “I needed to get back to some sense of routine,” resumed a regimen of practice and composition. Soon thereafter, Norman Chesky, the co-owner of Chesky Records and HDtracks, reached out with an extraordinary offer.

A premiere duo binaural release featuring jazz aficionados Mark Sherman and Kenny Barron (the tenth in the illustrious career of Kenny Barron and Mark Sherman's second with Chesky Records), Interplay is the blending of two generations of musical practitioners of the highest caliber. Lending their own unique verve and ingenuity to nine jazz standards and two original pieces, Sherman and Barron, both professors at Juilliard, teach us all a thing or two about the genre we call Jazz.

"The Art of Conversation" marks the first time bassist/composer Dave Holland and pianist/composer Kenny Barron have recorded their duo performances. These titans began touring together throughout Europe and the United States in 2012 and this album reflects two years of Holland and Barron finessing their empathy, chemistry and repertoire. Out of an expansive body of work that they’ve cultivated, "The Art of Conversation" offers 10 compositions of originals and standards that exemplify their individual and combined musical ingenuity.

Grady Tate has been one of the world's most versatile, frequently-recorded musicians for more than 40 years. He is often featured as a distinctive drummer, but in fact, he is also one of the best vocalists in the world. For this album, Grady Tate selects everything from standards to '50s musical hits number to his own composition, but the common theme is "love". That is the very message Tate, who celebrated his 70th birthday during the recording date, wanted to remind people of. Grady's voice swings gently and sometimes longingly together with the finest trio.

Trombonist Steve Turre is backed by a true dream team rhythm section on "Colors for the Masters": pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Ron Carter and 87-year-old drummer Jimmy Cobb. The album, recorded live off the floor, is a combination of originals, choice songs by Thelonious Monk, Wayne Shorter and J.J. Johnson and a fresh take on the standard "When Sunny Gets Blue".

Bennie Wallace has long been known for his sudden interval leaps and somewhat angular approach, and this studio date is no exception, though it focuses exclusively on standards written between the 1930s and 1950s. The tenor saxophonist chose two top-caliber musical partners, pianist Kenny Barron and bassist Eddie Gomez, to join him on his excursions, all of which are delightful.

"High Blues Pressure" is the thirteenth album by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard. It was his second release on the Atlantic label and features performances by Hubbard, James Spaulding, Bennie Maupin, Herbie Lewis, Roman "Dog" Broadus, Weldon Irvine, Kenny Barron, Freddie Waits, Louis Hayes, Howard Johnson, and Kiane Zawadi.

Multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef mesmerizes with his 1972 release, "The Gentle Giant". His innovative style revolutionized the jazz scene. A mix of jazz with soul, the album showcases Lateef’s unmatched musicianship. Lateef performs numerous wind instruments on the album but the true highlight is his funky use of the flute. The stunning album includes an upbeat “Nubian Lady”, a groovy “Jungle Plum” and an inspired rendition of “Hey Jude”.
