“Jazz floor anthem alert! Espen Horne, the producer behind the Kinny & Horne project is a man of many talents. He has studied fashion design resulting in him selling dresses to Bjork and he previously recorded as Bobby Hughes. Kinny is half Jamaican and half Native-Indian and was born in Canada. She is a classically trained Opera singer, but her love for reggae and jazz always came first and touring with a reggae band resulted in her visiting Norway and deciding to live there. 'Why Me' has been proving to be an anthem in many DJ sets with it's great production and musicianship. Influences from soul, jazz, funk, reggae and hip hop are fused in an unique way.”

Stuff Smith:
a Jazz Violinist, who was one of those rare musicians endowed with the special ability to create highly entertaining music with a strong personal flavor that deeply touched his audiences. His jocular style of playing and singing showed the strong influence of Louis Armstrong. (What musician hasn't been influenced by Armstrong?) His use of the violin echoed the Jazz bands of much earlier days, and in his capable hands, it was the equal of any other band instrumnet. He was capable of great melodic invention that was coupled with a wonderful phrasing and a strong sense of rhythm. He was a master musician who is not as appreciated today as he should be. Listening to his many fine recordings, one is sure to feel the excitement of this great and entertaining jazz master.
'Stuff's' father was a violinist, his mother was a pianist, and by just age 6 he was already studying the violin. He went on from there to more serious musical studies. In 1924, at age fifteen, while attending Johnson C. Smith University (on a music scholarship) he heard Louis Armstrong, and abandoned his goal of becoming a classical musician, turning to Jazz and Pop music instead. He left school to join a touring musical show (and there picked up his nickname "Stuff").
'Stuff' left the touring show, and from 1926-'28, worked with the Trent Alphonso orchestra . Following Alphonso, Stuff was briefly with Jelly Roll Morton before again returning to Alphonso. He stayed with Alphonso until 1930 and then settled in Buffalo, NY, leading his own band for a few years. In 1936, Stuff relocated to New York City, there to receive his widest acclaim.
Finding work on New York's famed 52nd Street ('Swing Street'), 'Stuff' formed a sextet called 'Stuff Smith and his Onyx Club Boys'. Among the "boys" were Jonah Jones on trumpet and Cozy Cole on drums. He recorded for Vocalion Records and also started occasionally singing and playing with an amplified violin - an innovation for that time. Two of his better known recordings of the day were "I'se a Muggin'" (composed by 'Stuff') and "You'se a Viper". Both tunes featured trumpeter Jonah Jones. All through the 1940s, 'Stuff' continued to record and perform in New York. It is little remembered today, but in 1943, Fats Waller died on a train returning him to New York, and 'Stuff' became the new leader of Waller's band.
By the 1950s, Swing Street and the Big Bands had passed into memory. 'Stuff's' sextet was also gone. He worked as a sideman with other Jazzmen including 'Dizzy' Gillespie. In 1953, 'Stuff' had a solo on Sun Ra's first recording "Sound Sun Pleasure!". In 1957, Verve Record's owner Norman Granz featured 'Stuff' on different albums with such musicians as the Oscar Peterson Trio, Carl Perkins, and a collaboration with 'Dizzy' Gillespie. Also in 1957, Stuff was recorded in collaboration with famed violinist Stephane Grappelli (of the original 'Hot Club of France') on a disk "Violins No End."
During the 1960s, 'Stuff' toured, and recorded, extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe. On records, he was heard with such violinists as John-Luc Ponty and Svend Asmussen. In 1965, he permanently relocated to Copenhagen, Denmark. where he was a popular artist. He was just 58 years old when he died. In personal eMail, one reader, Mr. Steen Moercholdt, has advised that:"'Stuff's' grave is situated in a graveyard just outside Juelsminde. in a little place called Klakring. Juelsminde is between Vejle and Horsens. Hes lying just beside the entrance. I went to contact our local archive here in Juelsminde about the question how hes ended up here. Someone told me, that his wife came from this part of Denmark."

Sarah Vaughan:
“Jazz critic Leonard Feather called her "the most important singer to emerge from the bop era." Ella Fitzgerald called her the world’s "greatest singing talent." During the course of a career that spanned nearly fifty years, she was the singer’s singer, influencing everyone from Mel Torme to Anita Baker. She was among the musical elite identified by their first names. She was Sarah, Sassy -- the incomparable Sarah Vaughan.”
