The late vibraphonist Milt Jackson (1923-1999) is a towering figure in jazz history, a vibrant and elegant player and bandleader who pioneered the application of bebop to his instrument. DA CAPO is a superb cross-section of Jackson's career from the late '40s through the mid-1950s, including the formation of the popular Modern Jazz Quartet, of which he was a charter member. In addition to MJQ members John Lewis and Percy Heath, guitarist Barney Kessel, innovative pianist Thelonious Monk, and Afro-Cuban jazz legend Chano Pozo also appear.

Louis Daniel Armstrong was born in August 1901 (yet he always claimed to be born on the 4th of July) and is probably the most famous Jazz musician of the 20th Century. He achieved fame as a trumpeter but it was his unique voice and gentlemanly manner that endeared him to the general public. His biggest selling record "Hello Dolly" was released in 1964 and topped the pop charts around the world making him the oldest person ever to have hit the top, at 63! Watch these performances of Armstrong throughout different times in his career and admire his unique talent. See him perform "Hello Dolly", among many others on this brilliant collection then sit back and listen to his distinctive voice in the collection of audio tracks. This set really is the definitive Louis Armstrong!

The downtempo, overdriven banger 'Sideways' kicks off the LP, Featuring self-taught star Secaina on vocals, wonky drum grooves, blasts of grizzly bass and warped rubber synths that add up to a fantastically fat and wobbly groove that straddles multiple genres at once. 'Get Creative' draws parallels with 'Sideways' with it's four to the floor beat and entrancing vocal from East London singer-songwriter Nova, also known as Nova Newland, a performer with a distinctive, gender defying voice.

"Visions" presents an exuberant collection of 12 tracks where Jones expresses themes of liberation, the desire to dance, rectifying situations, and embracing life's offerings. This album stands in stark contrast to "Pick Me Up Off The Floor," her previous work with new original songs released at the onset of the 2020 pandemic lockdown. Where that album foreshadowed the somber sentiments that became prevalent during that time, "Visions" can be seen as its counterpart with a brighter outlook and sound.
