Jim Tomlinson, w życiu osobistym mąż Stacey Kent, poza współpracą ze Stacey Kent prowadzi swoją własną karierę. Wydany pod własnym nazwiskiem krążek 'Only Trust Your Heart' zdobył bardzo dobre recenzje oraz sympatię wśród fanów jazzu. Pismo jazzowe Crescendo Magazine odnotowało, że "Tomlinson to prawdziwy lider, zdolny uskrzydlić kolegów, roztaczając wokół nich widoczną, twórczą aurę".
Inny słynny krytyk muzyczny Dave Gelly pisze, że "od pewnego czasu zaczął już powątpiewać, czy pojawi się na scenie młody saksofonista, któremu takie przymioty gry jak 'serdeczność, 'zmysłowość', 'czar' oraz 'śpiewność' będzie można dumnie przypisać. Oczywiście nie spodziewałem się, że spotkam kogoś tak dobrego jak Jim Tomlinson, którego gra zawiera wszystkie wymienione przymioty"
Sunday Tribune pisze, że "Jim bez wątpienia jest od dłuższego czasu najwybitniejszym saksofonistą jakim Wielka Brytania może się dumnie pochwalić".

Editor's info:

He made a big impression at Birdland on Stacey's gig recently. - Hank O'Neal; Tomlinson's tenor saxophone is sublime..... - Humphrey Lyttelton.

Lebanese oud player Abou-Kahlil moves ahead into the field of contemporary composition. YARA was conceived as the sound track to a feature film of the same name (a Turkish / German production directed by Yilmaz Arslan which will come to the movies in spring 1999). Besides Abou-Khalil on oud (more featured as a soloist than on his previous productions) two excellent French stringplayers, Dominique Pifarely on violin and Vincent Courtois on cello, and Rabih's rhythmic mainstay, Syrian percussionist Nabil Khaiat interpret the intriguing compositions. The film YARA was premiered at the Venice Film festival in September to standing ovation and the sound track is a strong, integral part of it. Rabih Abou-Khalil continues on his way to find his own place drawing on the Arabic musical tradition, jazz improvisation and European classical techniques which puts him into a class of his own. Abou-Khalil will present the music of YARA and other compositions on an extended concert tour in January / February 1999. YARA was masterfully recorded and co-produced by Walter Quintus at the CMP Studio in Zerkall, Germany. Christmas can be both melancholy, cosy and filled with seasonal spirit. All these moods are present on Katia Cardenal's new Christmas recording in Spanish. But in addition, she adds a much stronger element of joy and festivity than is usual in our corner of the world. In Latin America, people celebrate Christmas in the streets and in the village square, and this is much in evidence on Ven a mi casa esta navidad.You can dance your way through Katia's Christmas celebration! Having said that, the more famous Christmas carols such as Silent Night (Noche de paz), Adeste Fideles and Mary's Boychild are included. But in addition, we find rich and colourful elements of what is considered the typical Christmas spirit south of the Rio Grande. Christmas songs from Nicaragua, Katia's homeland, Bolivia etc. Katia's brother, Salvador Cardenal, is brought in as a new element on this recording. He has also illustrated the CD cover in unmistakable Latin American colours. The famous Cuban photographer Alberto Corda (the man behind the picture of Che Guevara) has also contributed to the CD. His portrait of Katia Cardenal in front of the figure of Christ that guards Havana harbour forms part of the CD cover. Ven a mi casa esta navidad is the first Christmas record ever produced on Cuba. Ven a mi casa esta navidad (Come to my house this Christmas) was recorded in Studio Abdala. In Castro's Cuba, no Christmas music may be heard in December. Christmas celebrations have been banned in this country for a very long time, so taking part in this CD recording was a very special experience for the Cuban musicians. Cuban guitarist Rey Guerra plays a particular role with his characteristic South American guitar sound.
