Raymond Scott's "Secret 7" was recorded in 1960 for Scott's own Top Rank label. The featured artists, who are never supposed to be named, are all jazz legends. This well-kept secret from the '60s shows off yet another side of the musical genius of Raymond Scott.

一支三女子组成的乐队，她们的故事源于《疯狂约会美丽都》。毕业于剑桥大学三一学院的意籍女子Marcella Puppini，从动画片《疯狂约会美丽都》中受到启发，召集两个同学一起组建了“Puppini姐妹花”合唱团。

From the first strains of the opening track, "Sisters," it's clear that Betcha Bottom Dollar is not a typical debut album. But then the Puppini Sisters are not a typical pop act, at least not in the 21st century. Their close, three-part harmonies are reminiscent of the vocal groups of the 1930s and 1940s, and particularly the Andrews Sisters. But rather than sounding like an anachronism, the Puppini Sisters merely demonstrate the timelessness of some of these songs. Betcha Bottom Dollar is fresh, fun and vibrant, blowing the dust off of cobwebby classics like "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" and "Mr. Sandman". Elsewhere, they also put their own unique stamp on more recent hits, with varying results. While Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" and Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" fail to get things swinging, Blondie's "Heart of Glass" and the Smiths' "Panic" are both injected with a fresh new (old?) sound. Much credit must also be given to producer Benoit Charest, who manages to employ a whole host of instrumentation and orchestration, whilst never forgetting to put the voices of the Puppini Sisters front and centre. It might be easy to dismiss the Puppini Sisters' debut as another novelty album, but their intentions and love for the style--like their voices themselves--are crystal clear. --Robert Burrow (From Amazon.co.uk)

The Puppini Sisters are an English close harmony vocal trio composed of Italian-born singer Marcella Puppini and English singers Kate Mullins and Emma Smith. Although the three are not related, the name was chosen in tribute to The Andrews Sisters.

One of Carla Bley's most rewarding recordings, this set features her tentet playing such numbers as "Wrong Key Donkey," "Drinking Music" and the 19-minute "Spangled Banner Minor and Other Patriotic Songs." Bley's wry humor is often felt and she utilizes such colorful players as trumpeter Michael Mantler, Gary Windo on tenor, trombonist Roswell Rudd and Bob Stewart on tuba in this unusual, somewhat innovative and always fun music. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

[灯ともし頃]
(於・収録アケタの店)
浅川マキ(vo)、荻原信義(g)、吉田　健(b)、白井幹夫(p)、つのだひろ(ds)、坂本龍一(kb)、向井滋春(tb)、近藤等則(tp)、杉田　順(g)
マキの歌はいつだって、夕暮れ時から始まる。
誰もがかえるべき巣にかえる夕暮れ時、どこに帰りつく場所のないものたちは、自らの孤独な道のりを確かめるように、自らの肩を見る。
「Blue Spirit Blues」収録の「灯ともし頃」は、そんな淋しくも強い者たちをさりげなく歌って、美しかったけれども、その歌がタイトルにつけられたこのアルバムも、なんとも寂しげで、負け犬の哀愁の漂う、それでいて心の矜持だけは決して捨てない強いものたちの歌が並んでいて、やっぱりいいアルバム。
アケタの店で、オケとボーカルを同時録音した、というライブ的な勢いのある音。しかもバックを務めるのは、いつものつのだひろ、萩原信義、吉田建らに加えて近藤俊則、坂本龍一と新しい面子もちらほら。
それぞれ実力派のプレイヤーの力強い演奏に、マキはさりげなく、しかし堂々と対峙し、向かい合っている。水際立っているなぁ。
「夕凪の時」で夕闇からはじまり、「それはスポットライトでない」、「思いがけない夜に」と夜の底を徘徊し、「何処へ行くの」でまぶしい朝陽の向こうへと駆け出していく、この流れも、いい。ジャズのスタンダード「センチメンタル・ジャーニー」が、マキとしかいいようのないダルで、根無し草の哀感の漂う一曲になっているのは驚く。 70年代のマキのベストと推す声が多いのも納得の作品。
ちなみに日本のレコーディングエンジニアの第一人者である吉野金次氏が(――以前にも『浅川マキの世界』『裏窓』など、散発的に担当はしていたが)このアルバムから、以降マキの最新作まで全てのマキのアルバムのミキシングを担当することになる。

Australian exclusive 20 track collection for the diva whose statuesque beauty & grace were only equaled by her warm sultry voice from the Axis label. 1995.

Japanese 24-bit remastered reissue of 1959 album that's out-of-print domestically. Packaged in a limited edition miniature LP sleeve.

During the early '50s, Peggy Lee rode high on the strength of her own taste into stardom - she was a glamorous beacon whose sultry voice gave her performances a shimmering eroticism. Black Coffee may be the greatest album of her genuine "concept albums." Originally recorded in 1953, Lee turned Black Coffee into a jazz project - something no other mainstream pop singer had done up to that point. It was so successful that three years later, Decca asked her to expand it into the newer 12" format. Many years later, she named this album as her own favorite. The songs in this collection reveal Peggy Lee at her most captivating. Here she displays a versatility which matches her wonderful vitality, emphasizing the quality of her voice as well as the music.
