Winelight is a 1980 studio album by jazz musician Grover Washington Jr. The record received the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance in 1982. The album was released by Elektra Records. It includes the Grammy Award-winning hit "Just the Two of Us" sung by Bill Withers.

Aja (/ˈeɪʒə/, pronounced Asia) is the sixth studio album by the jazz rock band Steely Dan. Originally released in 1977 on ABC Records, the album peaked at number three on the US charts and number five in the UK. It was the band's first platinum album and ultimately became their best-selling studio release, eventually selling over 5 million copies.[2] It spawned a number of hit singles, including "Peg", "Deacon Blues", and "Josie". In July 1978, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Engineered Non-Classical Recording. The credits for Aja list nearly 40 musicians, as band leaders Donald Fagen and Walter Becker pushed Steely Dan further into experimenting with different combinations of session players.

Due to popular demand, Sekito are releasing a re-mastered version of Alfa Mist & Emmavie’s collaboration project from 2014, with a brand new bonus song ‘Energy’.

A brilliant album by Hozan Yamamoto – a flute player with a great ear for mixing traditional sounds and modern jazz! The set's a suite of sorts – performed by a cool quartet with Yamamoto on bamboo flute, plus Masabumi Kikuchi on piano, Gary Peacock on bass, and Hiroshi Murakami on drums – all with a rich sense of poetry and feeling, that newly expressive sound that Japanese jazz hit as the 70s approached! Yamamoto's flute work alone is worth the price of admission – but alongside Kikuchi's well-timed (and toned) piano lines, and Peacock's roundly sensitive bass, the instrument is even more brilliant – heard on tracks that include "Silver World", "Stone Garden Of Ryoan Temple", "A Heavy Shower", and "Sawanose".

Alice Coltrane, also known by her adopted Sanskrit name Turiyasangitananda, was an American jazz musician and composer, and in her later years a swamini.

The highly-anticipated ‘Currency of Man’ is an intensely creative milestone, transcending musical distinctions of jazz, blues and R&B, to offer a stirring social and musical statement. On the new album, Melody joins forces again with Grammy Award-winning producer Larry Klein. This striking musical partnership saw their last collaboration, 2009’s ‘My One and Only Thrill’, sell over 1.5 million copies, and produce songs that have become modern classics.
‘Currency of Man’ marks a substantial leap forward indeed, as we see Gardot take her gift for songwriting in a completely different direction to her last record, the critically acclaimed release ‘The Absence’

这是山本刚在TBM的第六张专辑，身为最受欢迎的爵士钢琴手，山本刚以不断创新的技法演出来满足广大的爱乐迷，在本张专辑中，山本刚以非常浪漫及轻松幽默的方式来诠释多首经典名曲，包含有"The Way We Were","Girl Talk","Autumn In New York"….等，每一首曲子皆是完美演出的杰作，千万不能错过!
曲子中除了第一首「追忆」最为人称道之外，「乱世佳人」、「I love You,Porgy」也是经常演出的曲子之一，1975年录音时，当时这三位演奏家都还是爵士新鲜人，不过从音乐中你完全听不出任何生疏之感。乐器定位明确清晰，钢琴颗粒逼真的优秀录音。

音響論壇 劉總編榜單內專輯之一
入選原因：首先，我是因為第一首歌實在非常迷人，所以想選它入榜。但是，我不能因為一首歌好聽就選它，所以找到了一個藉口，那就是它的貝司可以測中低頻駐波。只要您聽到貝司彈出來的聲音形體有過大的地方，那就是駐波所在。不過，如果偶而有一、二個駐波並無傷大雅，每個房間都會有的，但是如果一直轟轟作響，那當然太過分了。除了貝司測中低頻駐波之外，其實也可以測鈸，那鈸聲肯定是很脆很甜很美的。
難關：每一個彈出來的貝司聲形體是否都一樣大？不能有些音很肥，有些音很瘦，很肥的地方是駐波，很瘦的地方是不足。最好的狀態就是既結實又低沈，還有清楚的質感。腳踩大鼓雖然躲在背後，但是噗噗聲是否夠清楚？如果渾渾的那就糟了。第四軌每一種樂器可說都像一粒粒滾動的東西，速度既快又俐落，鈸更是清脆甜美，如果您對此處的鈸無動於衷，那就太可惜了。

Yamamoto was largely self-taught as a pianist, although he did have piano lessons as a child.He attended Nihon University.As a student there, he played professionally, first as an accompanist to pop singer Micky Curtis; they toured Europe in 1967.In 1974, he became house pianist at Misty, a Tokyo jazz club.He also made his recording debut as leader that year.He played major international festivals in the late 1970s.He also "lived in New York for a year, when he performed with Dizzy Gillespie, Carmen McRae, Sam Jones, Billy Higgins, Elvin Jones, and Sonny Stitt, among others."

While Art Pepper's career was nearing an end when this quartet date was recorded in Tokyo, he substituted timing, knowledge, and experience for flash and power on this LP's six tunes. His alto and occasional clarinet work had color, conviction, and edge, which compensated for the loss of tone and speed from his peak days. Pianist George Cables was the group's top soloist, sometimes playing with remarkable fire and other times underscoring a direction began by Pepper or providing soothing melodies or enticing answering themes. Even near the end, Pepper's solos maintained an intensity that was commendable, and this date will delight both his fans and general jazz audiences. (allmusic)

西城秋色，誉为2001年度最佳XRCD2录音，FIM邀请三盲鼠年代爵士钢琴大师山本刚与录音大师神成芳彦重新泡制爵士钢琴经典名曲，演绎、音效更胜当年。
聆聽著爵士鋼琴演奏，在秋天時份也非常對味的，日本著名的爵士鋼琴演奏家Yamamoto二十餘年前曾演奏一張的Misty專輯，其扣人心弦之演繹和音色，在當年是非常著名的，在錄音表現上也曾考倒當年一班發燒友。如今FIM馬老闆盛情的邀請他們三位在日本享有盛名的爵士名家，重新演奏和詮釋他們當年的名曲。在經過這二十餘年的歲月洗禮，他們音樂的造詣和對事物的觀察角度更為寬廣細膩的同時，在此專輯裡的詮釋顯得更為入木三分，和聆聽者之間更有互動和共鳴。
Yamamoto先生想來也是視馬老闆為知己，他更為FIM馬老闆親自撰了一曲，馬老闆命名為「西城秋色」，因為他聆聽到此曲時就想起在西雅圖秋天所欣賞到美麗的日落景色，本曲的詩意讓聆聽者對西雅圖美麗的秋色更能身歷其境。
這三位爵士名家當年所詮釋的Misty專輯被發燒友稱為三高，也就是高度悠揚的樂韻、高度動聽的旋律和高度躍動的節奏，如今重新詮釋的「西城秋色」則再多加了一份悠游充容的感覺，不但日本錄音界譽為2001年之最佳製作，香港更稱為一張演繹與錄音俱達無敵境界的天碟之王。
