| | Records International catalogue October 1998 |
| | The other two-thirds of this release contain instrumental and chamber works not otherwise available on CD: the 1860 duo is a full-scale, three-movement work where the piano plays glittering figures and passages while the violin sings with lyrical charm. | | | Performed, necessarily, with a reduced choir (but with the solo voice parts intact), Wagner's reduction emphasizes just how ground-breaking this music was when it first appears. | | | This delightful collaborative effort by two of the most accomplished instrumentalists of their day produced a quiet celebration of both instruments: the violin providing the melody and Bochsa contributing a harp accompaniment which is rich and intricate and which occasionally upstages the violin. |

| | As a tribute to one of his favorite performers, Sonny Rollins, Branford produced another album, "Trio Jeepy" in June of 1989, with a vintage song of Rollins, "Doxy." As a publicity stunt, the album's release was accompanied by the opening of a 6-month United States tour of the Branford-Kirkland-Hurst-Watts quartet. | | | Following the release of these albums, Branford was asked to be the featured soloist on "Sneakers" album, a Universal Pictures film starring Robert Redford. | | | His abilities range from producing rock music with Sting to progressive jazz in his solo albums. |
