In 1993, guitarist John Scofield teamed with elder jazz-funk pioneer and saxophone great Eddie Harris and a tremendous band featuring Larry Goldings on organ and piano, Dennis Irwin on bass, Bill Stewart on drums, and Don Alias on percussion to lay down his soul jazz opus Hand Jive. Produced by Lee Townsend, the album featured 10 groove-based Scofield originals including the irrepressible „Do Like Eddie.” This 180g Blue Note 80 Vinyl Edition mastered by Kevin Gray arrives on the 25th anniversary of the album's original release on August 9, 1994, and marks the 1st time the full 10-track album will be released on vinyl.

Když Tim Bergling 20. dubna 2018 zemřel, hudba pro nové album byla z devadesáti procent hotová. Tim za sebou zanechal bohatou sbírku téměř dokončených skladeb, poznámky, emailové konverzace a textové zprávy týkající se vytvářené muziky. Skladatelé, se kterými Tim tehdy spolupracoval, se se svolením rodiny, která nechtěla Timovu hudbu nechávat zamčenou v šuplíku, rozhodli v nahrávání pokračovat. „Po tom všem, dotahovat skladby do konce... Cítím se paralyzovaný, i když o tom jenom hovořím. Ale hlavním úkolem dokončování skladeb bylo co nejpřesněji naplnit Timovu vizi,” přibližuje nahrávání Kristoffer Fogelmark.
Prostřednictvím programu Fruity Loops byli Kristoffer s Albinem Nedlerem schopni najít a zachovat Timovi přesné úhozy kláves. „Měl úplně jiný styl hraní,” objasňuje Nedler. „Jeho prsty se občas dotkly neobvyklého tónu, což jeho skladbám dodávalo unikátní zvuk. Timovi otisky se doslova nachází napříč celou deskou.”

Per Mike Milosh of Rhye, „the sound of Spirit was born out of falling in love with playing the piano again. About a year and a half ago, my girlfriend surprised me with a borrowed piano. It wasn't in the best shape, but it made itself at home in my apartment and I started playing it every morning... just messing around at first, but it slowly became a morning ritual I couldn't shake.
My morning piano ritual met my new piano in my favorite studio. I made a rule for myself that I would start something brand new every day, work on that for 2 hours without judgement and just see what I came up with. Out of the many sketches, Spirit started to take shape: a collection of songs that I did alone in the studio with just a piano, intertwined with collaborations with some of my favorite piano-based musicians. These are songs about love in my life, but also about the love for piano brought back into my life.”

Rare #1-charting triple live album, Wings Over America is a document of one the most sophisticated and dazzling rock shows of the 1970s or any decade. Paul and the band would eventually perform to more than 600,000 people at 31 shows in the US and Canada, ending with three historic nights at The Forum in Los Angeles. It's no exaggeration to say that the excitement that greeted Paul McCartney & Wings (Linda McCartney, Joe English, Denny Laine and Jimmy McCulloch) in the spring of 1976 as they embarked on what would become their one and only North American tour was overwhelming. Having released four consecutive chart topping albums - Red Rose Speedway, Band On The Run, Venus And Mars and At The Speed Of Sound - not to mention 1973's Academy Award-winning James Bond theme „Live and Let Die” - Wings' career was in full flight... and as Paul's first U.S. tour since The Beatles, the sheer joy of both the band and its fans were off the charts throughout the 90 hours of recordings distilled into this triple album. Wings Over America was last reissued in 2013 as part of the Paul McCartney Archive Collection series winning the Grammy Award for Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package.
