For many Italian musicians Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM) are the pioneers of the Italian progressive rock music (rock progressivo Italiano). Without doubt the band belonged to the leading bands of the prog rock movement in the seventies. Today PFM are still active and they still play their wonderful music during live concerts.

“Though the musical languages are so different, parallels do emerge; the Schumann performances are enhanced by Enders and Hering's keen awareness of the importance of expressive nuance - and subtle changes of colour, microtonal inflections and dynamic contrasts are all important coponents of Isan Yun's style…All the performances are passionate and strongly committed. Enders has a splendidly clear, penetrating tone.”

Four Classic Albums Plus is a 2013 Avid Jazz compilation featuring tenor saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, a distinctive voice in mainstream jazz and hard bop. Known for his robust tone, blues-inflected phrasing, and energetic improvisational style, Davis delivers performances that balance swing tradition with the driving intensity of modern jazz. This extensive collection brings together multiple recording sessions, showcasing both small-group interplay and more structured ensemble settings. Across the two discs, listeners experience a wide range of moods, from upbeat swingers and blues-based numbers to relaxed ballads and standard interpretations. Tracks such as Very Saxy, Lester Leaps In, and Air Mail Special highlight his commanding presence and rhythmic drive, while interpretations of standards like I Only Have Eyes for You and You Go to My Head reveal a more lyrical and expressive side. Overall, this compilation serves as a comprehensive portrait of Davis’s versatility and enduring contribution to jazz saxophone history.
