Overview

A profile tracking the history of the Swedish band Garmarna, including interviews and music video clips, from the inception of the band in 1990 to their "Hildegard von Bingen" recording in 2001. Their songs are mainly old Scandinavian ballads presented in a unique soundscape spiced with a haunting disturbing aspect. Chapbook stories who sneak up on you through eerie backwards fiddle, strings, programming, soundscapes, then the beats kick in, banging for dear life, and the cool, authoritative voice of Emma Härdelin floats over the top.

Nat King Cole & Friends Unforgettable Hits

Invalid Date

Some marvelous late-fifties memories of the one and only Nat King Cole. Singing (and occasionally playing) all-time Cole classics, like When I Fall In Love, The Christmas Song, Sweet Lorraine, and A Blossom Fell. Plus, there is a stellar list of other top tunes - including Stardust, Autumn Leaves, and Makin' Whoopee - each bearing his unmistakeable imprint. Nat, in solo performance, of course, but assisted, on occasion, by fellow greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Torme, Peggy Lee - and even the legendary Jazz at the Philharmonic.
