Now here's an interesting experiment: take classic melodies by Django Reinhardt, the king of Gypsy jazz ("Nuages," "Minor Swing," "Manoir de Mes Rêves," etc.) and recast them as sambas and bossa novas with an accordion taking the lead. It's certainly not a terrible idea, but a project like this faces a very serious hurdle: the rather defensive liner notes notwithstanding, Reinhardt's music was in fact built on a driving, foursquare rhythmic architecture that could hardly be further removed from the lightly dancing rhythmic patterns of Brazilian jazz.

Beegie (B-G) was born in Kentucky and began piano lessons when she was five. She continued studying piano through college at Western State University in Bowling Green where she received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Music Education and played jazz professionally every weekend.

At first glance this set contains tracks that seem to be all over the place with respect to career milestones and time frames. Most sets in this Kind Of series cluster around the mid-to-late 1950s for the artists who are topics of the sets. This one goes pretty heavy on the mid-to-late 1940s to early 1950s, with some mid-to-late 1950s and some material that was recorded as late as 1967. There is coherence to the composition of the set though. Nearly all of the tracks feature Monk as a leader. This is a departure from other sets in this series where it's a mix of leader and sideman.

You Will Never Know Why is the 2009 album by San Francisco experimental rock band Sweet Trip. Darla is the darling for the music combo.

G. Prokofiev: Concerto For Turntables & Orchestra is a 2009 collaboration project between The Heritage Orchestra and hip-hop turntablist DJ Yoda. It combines classical music with DJ'ing in a way that most have not heard before. This was released on the appropriately-named label Nonclassical.

"Basic Space" is a 2009 single by The XX. This features four remixes of the song. Young Turks would be free tonight because time is on your side and is a vinyl rip.

Avid Jazz reissued four classic albums recorded in the '50s by jazz trumpeter and bandleader Dizzy Gillespie: Gene Norman Presents Dizzy Gillespie in Concert, World Statesman, Dizzy Gillespie at Newport, and Dizzy and Strings. This is a great find for Dizzy Gillespie fans, but casual listeners would be better served by A Night in Tunisia: The Very Best of Dizzy Gillespie on the RCA label. ~ AllMusic Review by Al Campbell

Palace Of The Night Skies is a 2009 CD by Portland, Oregon rock trio Eternal Tapestry. While this 2013 pressing indicates of it being on the Three Lobed Recordings label, this was self-released by the group themselves, which they pressed to sell while the group went on tour that year so it was made for their fans.

To Lay Like Old Ashe is the 2009 album by Australian "depressive" black metal band Austere. Eisenwald Tonschmiede further made this into a reality for the band.

L'avvento di una nuova etichetta è sempre un evento importante e apprezzabile, soprattutto se le intenzioni, come dichiarato sulla homepage di Re: think-artrecords, sono quelle di dar voce a giovani artisti creativi, originali, che amano rischiare, presupposto sempre più soffocato dalla maggior parte delle attuali produzioni discografiche. Confezione cartonata quasi totalmente bianca, sobria ed elegante, (anche l'occhio e il tatto hanno la loro importanza), assenza di note di copertina (lasciamo che sia l'ascoltatore e crearsi il proprio mondo sonoro), ingegnere del suono Stefano Amerio (anche l'orecchio pretende le sue garanzie): si presenta così Timoka, la prima uscita, a firma del chitarrista/compositore bresciano Walter Beltrami.

The Best Of Joe Bonamassa is a 2009 compilation CD by Joe Bonamassa. It was released in Japan by Tearbridge International but one source says it is not an official label so this may be a counterfeit CD. Even though, it is the original recordings.
