Ιδιαίτερα σημαντικά για “εμάς εδώ” (όσους τουλάχιστον θυμούνται) είναι δύο άλμπουμ Ελλήνων διεθνούς ακτινοβολίας καλλιτεχνών, την παραγωγή των οποίων υπογράφει ο Quincy Jones.
Ακούμε ένα μικρό podcast με τραγούδια από το το ‘Nana Mouskouri In New York’, το jazz άλμπουμ της Μούσχουρη, κυκλοφορία του 1962, και ‘Το Χαμόγελο Της Τζοκόντας’ του Μάνου Χατζιδάκι, κυκλοφορημένο τρία χρόνια αργότερα.

Especially important for “us here” (those at least who remember) are two albums of Greek artists of international renown, the production of whom is signed by Quincy Jones.
Here’s a little podcast with songs from ‘Nana Mouskouri In New York’, Mouskouri’s jazz album, released in 1962, and Manos Hadjidakis’ ‘Gioconda’ Smile‘, released three years later.
