Late in his life, composer J. Rosamond Johnson (Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing) submitted to his longtime publisher, E.B. Marks, a list of songs that would comprise a volume of his best early popular songs written with his pre-1910 partner Bob Cole and his brother, James Weldon Johnson (Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man). That list was never put into print...until now. Featuring an introductionby Dr. Thomas Riis (Just Before Jazz) and several rare photos, this new compilation is the latest legacy offering from the Marks archive, which contains a rich heritage of turn-of-the-century African-American, and thus distinctly American, pre-jazz-era popular song. Includes: Ain't Dat Scan'lous * Big Indian Chief * The Big Red Shawl * The Bleeding Moon * Congo Love Song * The Countess of Alagazam * Fishing * I Don't Want to Be No Actor Man No Mo' * I'll Always Love Old Dixie * I'll Keep a Warm Spot in My Heart for You * I've Got Troubles of My Own * The Katy-Did, the Cricket and the Frog * Lazy Moon * Lit'l Gal * Louisiana Lize * Lovely Daughter of Allah * Ma Mississippi Belle * The Maiden with the Dreamy Eyes * Mudder Knows * My Heart's Desiah is Miss Mariah * My Castle on the Nile * Nobody's Lookin' but de Owl an' de Moon * Oh, Didn't He Ramble * The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground * On the Road to Monterey * The Pathway of Love * Roll Them Cotton Bales * Save It for Me! * The Spirit of the Banjo! * Sugar Babe * Two Eyes * Under the Bamboo Tree * When de Jack O'Lantern Starts to Walk About * When It's All Goin' Out, and Nothin' Comin' In * Who Do You Love?

Simon Laks (1901-1983), who moved from Warsaw to Paris in 1926 at the age of 25, belonged to the large group of composers from Central and Eastern European countries who went down in 20th-century music history as the “École de Parisâ€. Slavic temperament amalgamated in their music with French esprit, the folklore of their native countries combined with the stylistic elements of neoclassicism and jazz typical of the time. As a member of the “Association of Young Polish Musiciansâ€, Laks quickly made his way into French musical life. However, his career was ended with the beginning of World War 2 due to the collaboration of the Vichy government with Nazi Germany. Internment in 1941 was followed by deportation to Auschwitz in 1942. Laks survived the Shoah as a member and later leader of a camp band in Birkenau, which he testified to in his moving book Music in Auschwitz. After the traumatic experiences, Laks did not return to regular compositional activity until the 1960s, producing an opera, songs, and chamber music works, some of which were awarded important composition prizes. At the peak of this optimistic creative phase, he composed incidental music for Peretz Hirschbein's famous Yiddish comedy Dem Schmids Techter (The Blacksmith's Daughters), which premiered in New York in 1918, for a new production of the play at the Théâtre de lÂ’Entrepôt in Paris. Along with Prokofiev's Overture on Hebrew Themes and Shostakovich's cycle From Yiddish (Jewish) Folk Poetry, it is one of the most significant 20th-century explorations of art music with Jewish folklore – homage to a culture irreparably destroyed. From the original score, Holger Groschopp compiled two suites, for violoncello and piano and piano solo, that capture the essence of Lak's enchanting drama music. The premiere recording of the suites with Holger Groschopp and Adele Bitter was awarded the Opus Klassik 2023 in the category Editorial Achievement of the Year.

Solo Piano III complète la trilogie des albums Solo Piano.Comme tout acte final, y figurent des complications et des conséquences auxquelles succède l’urgence de franchir la ligne d’arrivée. Et comme ses prédécesseurs, l’album s’achève sur un happy end en do majeur mais le chemin est ponctué de plus de dissonances, de tension et d'ambiguïté.Solo Piano (2004) est sorti à une époque plus innocente, où Chilly Gonzales faisait figure de pionnier dans l’évocation des genres classique et jazz sur le déclin, pour les pousser à cor et à cri dans le 21ème siècle. Cet album à la virtuosité fortuite a surpris tout le monde, y compris le génie musical autoproclamé.Solo Piano II (2012) est apparu tel un petit chef-d'oeuvre pop pour un monde connecté, une transition vers une nouvelle réalité. Devenu showman légendaire et collaborateur d’artistes renommés et estimés (Drake, Daft Punk, Feist) Chilly Gonzales y dévoilait une collection de morceaux accrocheurs et raffinés, visant à plaire, montrant qu’il était prêt pour le prime time.Ce second opus a assurément satisfait un public grandissant et toujours plus avide des miniatures imparfaitement parfaites de Gonzo.Solo Piano III surgit à un point d’inflexion plus problématique.Les collaborations se poursuivent (Room 29 avec Jarvis Cocker, Ibeyi, Toddla T...) mais Chilly Gonzales ne cherche plus à plaire. A présent, il laisse les fausses notes. Les mystérieux accords et les structures singulières deviennent addictifs et finissent par résonner de façon inéluctable. La première édition du Gonzervatory, école de musique éphémère vient de s’achever et le professeur est redevenu l’étudiant qu’il a toujours été et sera toujours, n’ayant aucune crainte de laisser la musique parler pour elle-même.La pureté musicale de Solo Piano III n'est pas un antidote à notre époque, elle reflète toute la beauté et la laideur qui nous entoure.Ce recueil de partitions rassemble une sélection de 9 pièces de l'album fidèlement transcrites. Ces transcriptions révéleront pour beaucoup une fine mécanique musicale souvent trompeuse ou même invisible à l'écoute. Leur édition a exigé de faire des choix, le premier étant de proposer aux pianistes des partitions aussi confortables que possible.En bonus, les partitions de 2 titres extraits de l'album Chambers, une respiration Solitaire et un happy end Cello ni majeur, ni mineur, mais en mode à 2 (Duo Piano / Violoncelle).
