Manila Ice is the debut of Filipino artist Eyedress. The album, recorded around the birth of his first child, represents the hopes and fears of a young parent as well as an escape from the dramatic political events unfolding in his home city.
Blue Note Tone Poet Series features all-analog, remastered sound. Guitarist Grant Green explored Latin and Brazilian influences on his highly enjoyable 1962 album, The Latin Bit.
The CBS Tapes captures The Rubinoos as the scrappy, bratty kids they were. It also shows the huge talent and energy of a young band near the beginning of their career, who believed they were unstoppable.
The band delivers six powerful performances, playing with white-hot intensity on Henderson's originals "A Shade of Jade," Caribbean Fire Dance," and "Granted," as well as Morgan's swinger "Free Wheelin'."
In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 is Jay-z's second studio album. The star studded album features guest appearances by Foxy Brown, Babyface, Blackstreet, Teddy Riley, Too $hort, Lil' Kim, and Puff Daddy.
