Ira Gitler, who was supervising session for Prestige label at the time, confessed he was greatly impressed by Brown: "When Brownie stood up and took his first solo on "Philly J J", I nearly fell off my seat in the control room. The power, range and brilliance together with the warmth and invention was something that I hadn't heard since Fats Navarro".

Memorial is the seventh studio album by Portuguese gothic metal band, Moonspell, released on April 24, 2006 by SPV. The album is available in two versions: a standard edition and a limited 'digipack' edition with the "Atlantic" bonus track.
On January 16, 2007, Memorial was certified gold by the Associação Fonográfica Portuguesa for selling over 10,000 copies in Portugal. This is the first time a Portuguese heavy metal group has received this award.

Mémorial is the official gazette of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It is published by the Central Legislation Service , an agency of the government of Luxembourg. Until the Second World War, Mémorial was published in both French and German, which were the two official languages of Luxembourg. Since the war, it has been published in only French (even though German remains an official language, and Luxembourgish has also become one).
Mémorial is subdivided into three separate publications. Although the separate publications had already been established, the current arrangement and separation of duties is dictated by the Grand Ducal decree of 9 January 1961. Under that decree, the three publications of Mémorial are:
- Mémorial A, containing text of legislation, Grand Ducal decrees, and European Union directives. It was established by Grand Ducal decree on 22 October 1842.
- Mémorial B, containing administrative instructions; changes in government policies not requiring a form of legislation, directive, or decree; and edicts of importance to only specific individuals or for only a very short period of time. It was established by Grand Ducal decree on 20 April 1854.
- Mémorial C, containing personal and financial matters, including the foundation, liquidation, and restructuring of corporations. It was established by statute on 10 August 1915.
Memorial is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Russian Circles. The album was released on October 29, 2013 through Sargent House. Memorial was produced by Brandon Curtis ( Secret Machines, Interpol), who also produced the band's two previous albums, Empros (2011) and Geneva (2009).
Bassist Brian Cook said that Memorial is more "polarizing" between heavy and soft parts than previous efforts, and that the "heavy parts are much more blown out and exaggerated while the pretty moments are far more restrained, delicate, and atmospheric." Cook also described the album as being darker and more somber than previous efforts. Inspired by Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals, Memorial's album structure features the similarly composed intro/outro songs "Memoriam" and "Memorial" to make the album start and end in the same place.
Prior to the release of Memorial, Russian Circles released online streams of "Deficit" in August 2013, "Memorial" in September 2013 and "1777" in October 2013 to promote the album. Russian Circles' first tour in support of Memorial will be a late-2013 European tour with Chelsea Wolfe.
