This is a magnificent collection of the 1940's work of tenor sax great Coleman Hawkins, the father of the jazz saxophone. Much of it has been previously released in bits and pieces, but it has never been collected in a single package, and never with such tremendous sound. This box-set focuses on Hawkins' work between 1939 and 1949, presenting the original master of the tenor sax in a wide variety of settings. 88 tracks in all. 2000 release.



The title of this set is a little misleading; these recordings are more swing than bebop. Nevertheless, this is a wonderful collection that every jazz fan should own.

Timewind album - the "quintessence" of Klaus Schulze's analog synth music - was awarded the International Grand Prix du Disque and it is the ultimate electronic trip, very spacious and flowing with a huge atmosphere. Unquestionably, Timewind is one of the most admired and influential synth albums of all time!

Klaus Schulze - the undisputed electronic maestro once said his music is intended as a connection between dead machines and living people. That's quite a connection, and one that has given rise to some incredibly interesting sounds on his masterpiece album - Timewind. Listening to it one is left wondering what Richard Wagner, to whom the album is dedicated, would think of it.

Klaus Schulze's Timewind demonstrates that electronic music can be far more than the cold clinical sounds usually associated with the genre. The haunting sounds and cascading melodic lines flow gently across the ears. It is certainly more than just mere mood music … This album is stunning: the organic, analogic, spacey sound similar to the wind is a wonder to behold, very relaxing and imaginative; it transports you to an aural paradise, which could last forever and still would be too short.
