Title: A-TEENS | Super trouper
Description: Video: Super Trouper, segundo single del disco The ABBA Generation Biografia A*Teens Su nombre inicial fue ABBA Teens, pero Björn Ulvaeus y Benny Andersson del grupo ABBA original, forzaron que se le cambiara el nombre. Hasta la fecha, sin embargo, siguen siendo reconocidos por muchas personas por su antiguo nombre. Esto se debe, más que nada, porque su debut como un grupo de versiones de ABBA ha sido lo que más los hizo resaltar. El grupo estaba comformado por Amit Sebastian Paul, John Dhani Lennevald, Marie Eleonor Serneholt, y Sara Helena Lumholdt. Aún así no fue mucho el tiempo para cambiarse el nombre a A*Teens, el cual los ha seguido acompañando incluso luego que los chicos crecieron y dejaron de ser teens. En el mes de noviembre de 1999 Marie, Sara, Dhani y Amit comenzaron a trabajar en lo que sería su álbum debut, The ABBA Generation, el cual consiste completamente de versiones nuevas de éxitos del grupo pop de los 70s, ABBA. Sus versiones estaban actualizadas para reflejar la onda electrónica de la generación actual. Finalmente salió al mercado escandinavo en mayo de 1999, imponiendo éxitos como "Mamma Mía", "Super Trouper", "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (a man after midnight)" y "Dancing Queen". El disco estuvo pegado en el número 1 del ranking sueco y sonó insistentemente en varios países, como Chile, donde vendió 110.000 copias. Fue un éxito de ventas a nivel mundial, con cuatro millones de unidades. Durante ese año, llegaron a hacer giras de conciertos junto con Nsync y Britney Spears. Con la popularidad obtenida, mucho se cuestionaba si los A*Teens seguirían como un grupo de versiones de ABBA, o si lanzarían temas inéditos en el futuro. En el 2001 el grupo lanza su segundo álbum llamado Teen Spirit. Con este álbum el grupo empieza a interpretar temas totalmente inéditos; a excepción de uno que no es de ABBA, sino de E-Type, otro artista de Stockholm Records. Se fueron de gira por los Estados Unidos junto con Aaron Carter. De este disco salieron éxitos como Upside Down, Halfway Around the World y Sugar Rush. Teen Spirit vendió 3 millones de unidades alrededor del mundo. Su tercer disco Pop 'Til You Drop!, lanzado en el 2002, fue lanzado en América únicamente. Luego en el 2003 se lanzaría la versión europea New Arrival. Además de temas inéditos y algunos temas co-escritos por los mismos miembros del grupo, se nota una gran cantidad de versiones de otros grupos. Ninguno de ellos era de ABBA tampoco, de hecho ya por estos tiempos se le dio menor relevancia a sus orígenes, y empezaron a figurar más como el grupo pop que eran. Casi todo el disco fue grabado en Suecia, con productores estadounidenses, noruegos, daneses y suecos. También tuvieron la oportunidad de grabar un dueto con el legendario rockero Alice Cooper, para una versión pop de School's Out.. Otros temas que destacaron de estos discos fueron Floorfiller, Let Your Heart Do all the Talking, Can't Help Falling in Love, A Perfect Match y Heartbreak Lullaby. El primer mercado que atacaron fue Estados Unidos, por esa razón el primer lanzamiento se realizó en ese país. "La razón por la cual el álbum fue publicado antes en USA que en el resto del mundo es simple. Lanzar un disco ahí requiere tiempo y esfuerzo. Con el propósito de concentrarse en el lanzamiento y dedicar suficiente tiempo a todos los países, fue necesario hacerlo primero en USA y luego en Europa, Latinoamérica y Asia, un poco después", explica Amit. Durante este tiempo hicieron tour con los grupos Play, LMNT y Jump 5. Tanto Pop til you Drop! como New Arrival vendieron 800,000 copias. En total sólo vendieron 1,600,000 unidades. En el 2004, A*Teens lanza un álbum de Greatest Hits, con el cual empiezan un break para lanzar proyectos en solitario. Desde entonces y actualmente, cada miembro se ha dedicado a diferentes proyectos individuales. Greatest Hits ha vendido 500,000 unidades. En total este grupo sueco vendió 10.000.000 sumando álbumes y singles. Fuente: wikipedia

Title: Felicia Sanders Tribute
Description: Here is a famous Kurt Weill song performed by the great cabaret singer Felicia Sanders. Felicia Sanders (1922 - 1975) was a singer of traditional pop music. She was born Felice Schwartz in Mount Vernon, New York and, in the 1940's sang both with big bands and on the radio, based in Los Angeles. She stopped singing to get married, but was bored with stay-at-home life, and in 1950 returned to singing, in a nightclub in Hollywood, Café Gala. She was heard there by Benny Carter, who thought enough of her to recommend her to Mitch Miller, Columbia Records' artist and repertory director. She was picked, in 1953, by Columbia's biggest orchestra leader, Percy Faith, to sing a vocal on a song he was recording, taken from the film "Moulin Rouge", a biographical film about Toulouse-Lautrec. The song, known as "The Song from Moulin Rouge", was recorded on January 22, 1953 and released by Columbia with the credits shown as "Percy Faith and his Orchestra featuring Felicia Sanders". The song reached #1 on all the record charts, and was to be her biggest success. Just before the record was released, she was hired by New York's famous Blue Angel nightclub, and she played there for a long time, being the first singer to do the song "In Other Words (Fly Me to the Moon)", although she did not record it until several other singers had done so. Miller kept finding other songs to have her sing, but only one other was a big hit: "Blue Star", based on the theme from a well-known television series, "Medic". She died of cancer at the age of 53. Enjoy Felicia's great style!

Title: Cozy Cole - Topsy, Part II
Description: Cozy Cole (October 17, 1909 -- January 31, 1981) was a jazz drummer who scored a #1 hit with the record "Topsy Part 2". The recording contained a lengthy drum solo, and was one of the few drum solo recordings that ever made the Billboard Hot 100 (1958) chart. The single was issued on the tiny Brooklyn-based Love Records label. William Randolph Cole was born in 1909 in East Orange, New Jersey. His first music job was with Wilber Sweatman in 1928. In 1930 he played for Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers, recording an early drum solo on "Load of Cole". He spent 1931--33 with Blanche Calloway, 1933-34 with Benny Carter, 1935-36 with Willie Bryant, 1936-38 with Stuff Smith's small combo, and 1938-42 with Cab Calloway. In 1942, he was hired by CBS Radio music director Raymond Scott as part of network radio's first mixed-race orchestra. Cole appeared in music-related films, including a brief cameo in Don't Knock the Rock. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s Cole continued to perform in a variety of settings. He died of cancer in 1981, in Columbus, Ohio.

Title: Swing from France: Django's Music - Daphne, 1940 (Paris)
Description: Django Reinhardt was one of Europe's earliest jazz musician's to gain fame on the international level. His style of choice was Gypsy Jazz on the guitar, spending much of his youth in gypsy camps near Paris. By the mid '30s he was playing alongside the likes of Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter and Louis Armstrong and leading his own band which is now a legend: Hot Club de Paris. During WWII, Reinhardt escaped the fate of many other Gypsies who were sent to their deaths at the hands of the Nazis. It has been reported that Reinhardt had an influential fan in the Luftwaffe. His popularity soared in post war Europe and beyond thanks in part to his musical partnership with Stephane Grappelli. Reinhardt retired in 1951 and died in 1953 after collapsing outside his house from a brain hemorrhage. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recording: Django's Music: Daphne (Django Reinhardt) - D.Reinhardt (guitare solo), Ph.Brun, P.Allier, A.Renard (trompettes), G.Paquinet (trombone), A.Ekyan (saxo alto), A.Combelle (saxo tenor), Charlie Lewis (piano), P.Ferrret (guitare), E.Soudieux (basse), Swing 1940
