This week the turntable belongs to Jerry Leyendecker.   Jerry wants to introduce a couple of musicians that many of us may have never heard of.  Having listened to these selections I can tell you they are GREAT! and offer a vacation from our ususal selections.  


Before the first selection let me give you a brief introduction the the players;
Richard Galliano (born December 12, 1950, Cannes, Alpes-Maritimes) is a French accordionist.[1] He was drawn to music at an early age, starting with the accordion at 4,[2] influenced by his father Luciano, an accordionist originally from Italy, living in Nice.  Fascinated by this new world, Richard was amazed that the accordion had never been part of this musical adventure.In this period, Galliano won twice the first prize in the "world accordion cap competition" which took place in Spain (1966) and France (1967). In the Spanish competition, the participants' duty work was "Chaconne" by the Israeli accordionist Yehuda Oppenheimer. Galliano and Oppenheimer kept up their musical collaboration and personal friendship until Oppenheimer's death in 2012.
Wynton Learson Marsalis (born October 18, 1961) is a trumpeter, composer, teacher, music educator, and Artistic Director ofJazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, United States. Marsalis has promoted the appreciation of classical and jazz music often to young audiences. Marsalis has been awarded nine Grammys in both genres, and a jazz recording of his was the first of its kind to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music.
The next two selections include the voice of Norah Jones.  Talk about a great jazz singer Norah is tops in my book!
Norah Jones[1] (born Geetali Norah Jones Shankar; March 30, 1979) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and actress. She is the daughter of sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar and Sue Jones. She is Anoushka Shankar's half-sister.[2] In 2002, she launched her solo music career with the release of the commercially successful and critically acclaimed album Come Away with Me, a fusion of country music and pop with elements of jazz which was certified diamond album, selling over 26 million copies.[3] The record earned Jones five Grammy Awards, including the Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best New Artist.[4] Jones has won nine Grammy Awards and was 60th on Billboard magazine's artists of the 2000–2009 decade chart.[7] Throughout her career, Jones has won numerous awards and has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide.[8] Billboard named her the top jazz artist of the 2000–2009 decade. 
Thank you Jerry!  I must say "I am Amazed!"Remember the Turntable belongs to you!  If you have music you would like to hear or subjects you would like to discuss please let me know.  

Until Next Week
