Review: Eddie Harris was an iconic American jazz musician who revolutionised the genre by introducing the electrically amplified saxophone. With a prolific career spanning over 50 albums, Harris seamlessly blended jazz with funk, earning Grammy Award nominations for two of his groundbreaking records. Among them, the 1983 release People Get Funny..s' stands out. Featuring tracks like 'People Get Funny When They Get A Little Money' and 'La Carnival' which exemplify his signature jazz-funk fusion with captivating vocals and scatting, it las has other gems like 'Silver Plated,' which showcase a more traditional jazz-hard-bop style. Accompanied by talented musicians like drummer Carl Burnett, electric pianist William S. Henderson III, and bassist Larry Gales, this limited edition release of People Get Funny... is pressed on translucent pink vinyl.

Review: The Commodore Master Takes provides an essential snapshot of Billie Holiday's artistry during a pivotal moment in her career. Spanning recordings from 1939 to 1944, these sessions are often regarded as some of Holiday's most powerful and evocative work. The album opens with the haunting 'Strange Fruit,' a stark and fearless protest against racial violence, which was too controversial for other labels but found its rightful place here. Holiday's delivery is chilling, a perfect match for the song's bleak subject matter. Other standouts include 'I'll Be Seeing You,' where her emotive phrasing turns the track into a melancholic ode, and 'As Time Goes By,' a classic tune that, in her hands, takes on an almost timeless quality. These recordings highlight not just Holiday's unique voice but her ability to convey deep emotion and narrative, cementing her legacy as one of jazz's most influential figures. The Commodore Master Takes is a treasure trove for any fan of classic jazz, offering an intimate look at Holiday at her peak.
