Nat Simpkins - Cookin with Some Barbecue (1994)



" A stripped-down set with a very classic feel -- one that not only features some great tenor by leader Nat Simpkins, but also some especially nice work on Hammond from the under-recorded Gloria Coleman! ... the record also features Cecil Brooks III on drums and Russell Malone on guitar.. "

Jeanette Lindström - Whistling Away The Dark (2006)



The 8th release from Jeanette Lindström who pays tribute to such standards such as Frank Sinatra’s “My One And Only,” (Robert Mellin/Guy Wood), “You Go To My Head,” (J. Fred Coots/Haven Gillespie), “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was,” (Richard Rodgers/Lorenz Hart), and “What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life,” written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, and made popular by great songstresses such as Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey and Rosemary Clooney. The title tune "Whistling Away The Dark" was borrowed from the Henri Mancini tune of the same name. The song was originally sung by Julie Andrews for the 1970 movie Darling Lili. Lindstrom’s interpretation however, was inspired by Abbey Lincoln who also sang the tune.
