Released in 1991 by the noted audiophile label Chesky Records, Because Of You is an enduring monument to a multi-faceted American singer whose talent knew no boundaries. Occupying a unique space where folk, rock, pop, country, and jazz elements intermingle, Kenny Rankin (1940-2009) - whose golden voice was once described by jazz saxophonist Stan Getz as “a horn with a heartbeat” - was a genre-blurring singer whose soulful sound defied categorization. Impeccably produced by David Chesky, the beautifully performed Because Of You found Rankin blending self-written numbers (‘This Old Man’ and ‘Erienda’) with jazz standards (‘Someone To Watch Over Me’), and Brazilian classics (‘Berimbau’). The album’s pièce de résistance is Rankin’s take on Thelonious Monk’s iconic bebop ballad ‘Round Midnight,’ which is performed as a duo with double bassist David Finck. The album is reissued on 180g One Step Pressing Vinyl LP in 2025.

Temptation is a stellar example of creative courage. Given her large and loyal international audience, powerhouse Canadian jazz vocalist Chantal Chamberland could easily have played it safe by delivering an album of Songbook standards sure to please the following she has built over the last two decades. Instead, a rigorous search for new and oft-unconventional material resulted in a generous collection of 13 songs for which the description 'eclectic' is an understatement. Her seventh full-len...
