Katharine Whalen's Jazz Squad is back with 11 tracks recorded live at Yonder Bar in Hillsborough, NC!

All jazz standards, the Jazz Squad seamlessly weaves their way through classics like "Teacher's Pet," made famous by Doris Day & a sultry rendition of "It's All Right With Me," made popular by Ella Fitzgerald. We're very proud and excited to present this new album. It's a culmination of the charm, authenticity and hard work of these wonderful musicians to make this release a reality. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do, it's truly a drop of North Carolinian sunshine!

Dreamy theremin sounds play upon the realm of human emotion, exploring the vibrant sweetness and gentle vibrato this early electronic instrument is capable of! Music Out of the Moon / Music for Peace of Mind is now in stores!

Following the recent creation of a Sundazed Surf-Centric Re**er Madness film edit, Modern Harmonic brings you the full film Gammera The Invincible with a new soundtrack that's almost exclusively post-punk.

Oddly, despite being from 1965 the U.S. version of Gammera the Invincible is in the public domain, while the original Japanese version, Gamera, the Giant Monster, is still under copyright. The American version entered the public domain because its copyright was not properly renewed. The original Japanese film, Gamera (with one "M"), the Giant Monster, is still under copyright and thus many scenes from this version are blocked in Japan. Why only some scenes? Because the folks who made the dubbed American release also shot new scenes with largely non-Japanese (mostly American) actors.

Happy birthday to jazz guitar legend, the late great Barney Kessel! In addition to his stellar work as a leader, he was a member of the the Wrecking Crew, a member of the Oscar Peterson Trio and worked with Billie Holiday, Sam Cooke, and appeared on our Claudia Thompson LP and the equally good (wink) Pet Sounds LP!

Happy birthday to the late singer and model, Christa Päffgen, aka Nico! She was like nothing rock music had ever seen or heard before or since. She became a cult icon, especially for her work with the Velvet Underground. The sheer eeriness and other-worldliness of her later solo repertoire mark Nico as one of the most extraordinarily original performers of the rock era. We're very honored to have her music in our catalog!

Happy Birthday to the late great Paul Tanner! A mere two days after the creation of the Electro-Theremin, Paul Tanner recorded Music For Heavenly Bodies, a lush, eerie, and atmospheric take on space music. After the 1958 release, people around Hollywood took notice, and would lead to Tanner recording themes for My Favorite Martian, Lost in Space, and Dark Shadows. This work would secure for Tanner and his Electro-Theremin a place in the history books when he was contracted to record with the Beach Boys. The iconic theremin sound from "Good Vibrations" came from the very same Electro-Theremin created for Music For Heavenly Bodies.
