2011 Grammy winner and rising star Esperanza Spalding, first took the world by storm in 2008 with her self-titled debut recording that spent more than 70 weeks on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart. Two years later, she continues to push the boundaries of jazz and explore the places where it intersects with other genres on Chamber Music Society.

A Night in Monte-Carlo, a live audio document of an amazing concert Marcus Miller was commissioned to perform on November 29, 2008 in Monaco, a performance of music of his choice, much of it from his pen, featuring his arrangements for symphony orchestra. It features Marcus leading both his quartet and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, with special guests: trumpeter Roy Hargrove as well as singer, songwriter and guitarist Raul Midón.

In a career spanning two decades, six-time GRAMMY nominee Dave Koz has established himself as a platinum-selling artist, humanitarian, entrepreneur, radio host, and instrumental music advocate. Hello Tomorrow may be all at once his most musical, as well as his most meaningful project to date, as it is about embracing life, the changes it brings and the promise of a new day ahead.

After twenty years and a dozen albums, Fourplay along with new guitarist Chuck Loeb releases Let’s Touch The Sky which includes stirring performances by guest vocalists Anita Baker and Ruben Studdard. The infusion of new blood into the Fourplay lineup creates an opportunity to bring an even newer level of energy and inspiration.

I Feel You is a thrilling collaboration that blends Herb Alpert and Lani Hall’s vocal and instrumental gifts to perfection. The songs cover several reinterpreted classics spanning four decades. Recorded in Los Angeles, it is the duo’s first studio album in almost ten years. The outcome of their complementary philosophy is 14 songs on I Feel You that marry the essence of their shared gifts.

After many excursions to France, Rippingtons leader Russ Freeman felt music stirring inside him. Now this artistic outpouring has manifested itself in the band’s latest and 18th offering. With Cote D’Azur Freeman has painted a stunning musical picture that reveals a very different Rippingtons and one that is sure to enthrall fans both new and old

The Cuban pianist plays with incredible power and was inspired by the enthusiastic audience of 5000+. It’s the kind of music that you cannot produce under studio conditions. This is Fonseca’s third album for ENJA.

There’s no doubt that this four-disc, 101-track collection from English reissue label JSP is carefully and lovingly assembled, and it outlines an impressive and amazing legacy. Hoagy Carmichael was an unassuming, laid-back, slightly world-weary but jivin’ jazz cat out of Indiana, and a legend among singer/songwriters.

This wonderful five-disc box is an indispensable collection of prewar, prebop jazz. The collection includes all the landmark recordings Reinhardt made for Ultraphone, Decca, and HMV up through the Quintet’s 1939 breakup on the eve of World War II.

As a guitarist, composer, and bandleader, Bill Frisell has established himself as a visionary presence in American music, best known for his innovative and improvisational guitar playing. Brazilian singer-songwriter, guitarist and percussionist, Vinicius Cantuária flawlessly merges the classic sounds of bossa nova with contemporary sounds. Together on Lagrimas Mexicanas they are a mesmerizing blend of multi-lingual songcraft, pan-Latin rhythms, and stunning guitar interplay.

With a string of #1 Smooth Jazz radio hits and 20 years at the top of the Billboard Contemporary Jazz charts, saxophonist Kim Waters is adored by his legions of fans. With Love Stories Kim again claims the top spot as a true Smooth Jazz superstar.

It may be the most influential music in jazz history, establishing standards for originality and sustained invention that have rarely been matched. This JSP set is a superb reissue of Armstrong’s essential work. The sound is simply the best this work has ever enjoyed. Includes alternate takes of the later material on Columbia Legacy.

Walter Beasley has been one of the best selling saxophonists in smooth urban jazz for more than a decade, scoring numerous Top Ten Smooth Jazz hits along the way. Produced by Chris “Big Dog” Davis and Phil Davis, Backatcha! delivers and entrancing mix of originals and covers

Saxophonist Euge Groove has been one of the best-selling contemporary jazz artists of the past decade. Sunday Morning delivers his trademark contemporary funk/jazz grooves combined with a melodic sound on a set produced by hit-maker Paul Brown.
