My Daddy is Scratchy' offers eleven originals that explore the things that really matter to kids: avoiding vegetables, enduring embarrassing parents (especially when they SING), refusing to go to school, wheedling a few more minutes before bed. Stylistically, 'My Daddy is Scratchy' runs the gamut from rock to jazz to country, with one song, "Mommy is a Dynamo," sounding like a Hollywood musical-number from the 50's.

The UK's Respectable Groove blends an unmistakable combination of recorder, harpsichord, double bass and percussion, interpreting medieval, renaissance and baroque music through a kaleidoscope of jazz and contemporary influences. Improvisation, just as it was for musicians from centuries past, is an essential ingredient of the intriguing mix that is Respectable Groove.

A surprisingly delightful instrumental jazz with a difference, which is very easy to listen to. Even kids seem to like this CD. A true favorite in the Artscope Music office!

An awsome live recording of very easy listening jazz. Light, smiling, happy, toe-tapping instrumental jazz. When it's playing, it even seems to make you dance while you're doing housework! Full of light melodious flavours, rich in spirit, and clever play, as all Jazz should be. It secretly creeps in to your feet.

"Full Circle mixes old and new in a dozen well-chosen, deftly played up-tempo numbers and ballads. The format of two lead voices---piano and vibraphone---picks up where the Modern Jazz Quartet left off." Michael Anthony, Minneapolis Star Tribune Staff Writer

Gentle and soothing Renaissance a capella (just voices) songs from the past. Think King Henry 8th and you're on the right track! The Vox Populi Vocal Ensemble is a mixed-voice a capella chamber choir based in California, specializing in performing the choral music of the Renaissance.

"From the first notes, I realized that I had purchased a sublime CD. The crystal clear voices, and ethereal harmonies serve equally well as a reverential start to one's morning, or a stress-reducing antidote to a hectic day."
'Wow!! The voices and songs on this CD are gifts from the heavens above. A wonderful collection of late 16th century coral music that will take your soul on an upward journey to the heavens"
