Lynne Arriale Nuance: The Bennett Studio Sessions (CD+DVD)

Charnett Moffett The Art of Improvisation

“Arriale’s challenging chordwork behind a bright and brassy Brecker is like Monk and Miles-era Herbie Hancock combined, and her solo is like sparks struck off flint. It’s an intriguing new edge for a player usually commended for her elegance.”

— The Guardian [HHHH]

“A fascinating recording, The Art of Improvisation is as mysterious as it is a showcase for the formidable bass playing skills of its leader Charnett Moffett.” — All About Jazz “Spotlights his faculty on acoustic, fretless electric and piccolo basses, often in a freewheeling fusion vein.” — New York Times

“A strong candidate for jazz CD of 2009.” — All Music Guide “There’s some lovely music to be heard here. [Arriale is] a pianist with a genteel touch and sensitive ear for color.”

— Chicago Tribune CD of the Week

“Moffett is a hypnotic performer. Playing the upright and the electric bass and accompanied only by piano and drums, he mesmerizes with a series of propulsive minimalist grooves.”

Painted On Water Painted On Water

“His version of a Malian jazz hybrid includes traces of Middle Eastern modality as well as ebullient swing rhythm … Mr. Etkin has no trouble keeping his stylistic bearings.” — New York Times

“The world jazz movement is experiencing the fusion of Middle Eastern music with Latin vibes. POW is definitely a unique take on current musical variations and trends.” — Skope

“Imagine this: a hip-hop beat meted out by handmade percussion, a balafon (a West African wooden xylophone-like instrument), a small string section playing pentatonic scales, and a bass clarinet lurking its way around all this. That only begins to describe Oran Etkin’s one-of-a-kind mosaic of First and Third World cultures.” — Jazz.com

“Global Turkish diva Sertab and partner Demir delivered a stone-solid sold-out performance at New York’s Joe’s Pub … to an enthused audience of steadfast Turkish and new American fans, singing selections from her upcoming June English-language album Painted On Water, which primarily comprises modern arrangements of Turkish standards.” — The Smoking Nun

Reuben Wilson’s debut recording for 18th & Vine finds him at his very best, stretching out across a myriad of soulful moods while always bringing home the groove!

• Back in the late ’60s while his peers were playing straight-ahead jazz, Reuben Wilson began experimenting with bringing pop and jazz together. The result was what is now universally recognized as early Jazz Fusion or Funk. This style of flowing B-3 organ playing over smoking drums inspired people like George Clinton and Sly Stone and a new sub-genre, Soul-Jazz, was born.

• Performs as a key member of the Godfathers of Groove with Bernard “Pretty” Purdie and Grant Green Jr. • Released five albums on Blue Note Records.

• Collaborated and played with many influential musicians including Dr. Lonnie Smith, Grant Green, Jerome Richardson, Brad Baker, Nat Dixon, Lee Morgan, Kenny Garrett, Zachary Breaux, Donald Byrd, John Manning, Melvin Sparks, and Tommy Derrick.

A compilation of inspirational music from some of the world’s great composers is the perfect follow-up to Cyrus Chestnut’s immensely popular 1996 album, Blessed Quietness.

• Front Cover Sticker: The long anticipated follow-up to Blessed Quietness.

• This compilation includes Duke Ellington’s “Come Sunday,” Paul Simon’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” Bill Withers’ “Lean On Me,” Horace Silver’s “Peace,” and brilliant interpretations of many classic hymns, including Dr. William Smith’s “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” also known as the Negro National Anthem and recognized as one of the most important musical offerings of the Civil Rights movement.

• Treating this material with great delicacy and empathy, Chestnut’s tempos breathe and his phrasing combines an almost surgical precision with affecting tenderness. There isn’t a weak moment in the collection—precisely because there isn’t a moment in which he loses connection with the inherent power of the music.

• Radio and press promotion will be handled by an outside source.

“Pianist Cyrus Chestnut can do it all. Equally adept playing with trios, groups, or alone, he tackles a broad range of styles with both taste and intelligence.” — Amazon.com “The pianist Cyrus Chestnut is one of jazz’s most convincing anachronisms. His brand of crisp articulation and blues-inflected harmony evokes another era, sometime before the ascent of Bill Evans and McCoy Tyner, to say nothing of Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett. But unlike the typical nostalgist, who pines for the past partly because of a queasy discomfort with the present, Mr. Chestnut appears comfortable with his placement in time. What makes his music fly is a complete security in his style, and that sense of untroubled self-assurance.” — New York Times Key Markets: Baltimore (hometown), Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Memphis, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, St. Louis, Washington DC

An incredible lineup presents a tribute to Michael Brecker! With great performances by Randy Brecker, Joe Lovano, and Dave Liebman, this is a memorable addition to the jazz/big band collection.

• First CD release from the fledgling USF Center for Jazz Composition, and the culmination of a multi-faceted project that began in 2006.

Seeking to focus attention on the compositions of a great jazz artist while stimulating new works, the CJC launched an international arranging competition in honor of jazz icon Michael Brecker.

• The thrilling, no-holds-barred version of “Peep” that opens this CD, scored by Fred Stride of Vancouver, was ultimately selected the winner. In the meantime, the CJC commissioned arrangements of Brecker compositions from noted composers Gil Goldstein and Vince Mendoza, who had frequently collaborated with Michael.

• These works, along with those being arranged by the CJC’s director Chuck Owen and manager Dave Stamps, were to be premiered in a series of concerts throughout Central Florida in April 2007. Tragically, Brecker passed away in January. The April concerts thus took on new meaning as a beautiful, fitting tribute to his work—especially with his brother Randy featured as passionate guest soloist.

Joe Beck’s last recording, dedicated to “the best guitarist in the world” by Laura Theodore.

• Invented by Joe Beck, the incredible alto guitar was designed by Dale Unger of American Archtops and manufactured by CF Martin & Company. It features unique tuning, which allowed Beck to play the bass notes with his thumb, the chords with three fingers, and melody with one finger—all at the same time!

• All songs on this album were performed live by Joe Beck and Laura Theodore—a true duo effort only made possible with the technology of this extraordinary guitar and Beck’s incomparable talent.

• Liner notes by Bill Milkowski, author of JACO: The Extraordinary Life and Times of Jaco Pastorius.

New Releases • DJ Spooky and Matthew Shipp represent the quintessence of contemporary New York sound. Their music is both sophisticated and untamed, a subtle blend of free jazz and hip-hop. Their concerts exude an urban energy that springs directly from street music, but with an element of historic, cultural, and social conscience.

• Here, a radical yet simple shooting method captures this bold energy: four handheld cameras onstage with an interior, embedded point of view, caught up in a whirlwind of rhythms and hyper jump-cut editing that saturates the senses. This DVD presents a rather demanding musical and visual adventure that does a good job of rendering the tensions present in an America that—at the time of the film was shot—hadn’t yet attempted to revive its dream.

• In the spirit of the Thirsty Ear Blue Series, this live performance seamlessly brings together one of the masters of DJ culture with real musicians, and the results are staggering.

• Stereo 5.1 Surround Sound. Playable in all regions. Approx run time 55 min.

• Robin Trower, whose career has spanned more than four decades, is one of the finest guitarists in rock history. Throughout his long and winding solo career, the guitarist has been called the “White” Hendrix due to his uncanny ability to channel Hendrix’ bluesy/psychedelic style.

• Trower spent the early ’60s playing guitar in various London-based outfits, and received his big break 1967 when he joined Procol Harum. After leaving the band five years later, Trower embarked on his solo career and found the success that has made him a legend today, armed with a fluid and powerful guitar style.

An amazing collection of vintage pop-infused music written and sung by a hot new talent!

• Singer-songwriter Joe Settineri delivers 12 original, powerful songs, each with its own unforgettable melody and Top 40/AC hit potential.

• This rare collection ranges from beautiful, emotional ballads featuring Settineri’s soulful vocals and renowned cellist Semyon Kobialka to groovy up-tempo pop tunes with rocker undertones provided by Econoline Crush lead guitarist Ziggy Sigmund.

• The everyman lyrical content penned by Settineri leads way to a deep emotional connection that is both personal and universal. As a singer, he caresses his lyrics with gravelly undertones as the story is told, and then utilizes his multi-octave tenor range to soar to the heights of a song’s emotional core.

• Seen onstage from Los Angeles to New York to London, Settineri (star of such shows as The Who’s Tommy, The Full Monty, Candide, and Town Without Pity) has a style that combines the vocal technique of Josh Groban with the artistic sensibilities of Jason Mraz.

• Final media plan will depend on the PR firm secured. Plans include Good Morning America “Week in Photos” segment to use songs to accompany 3–4 minute segment; promotional interviews; radio appearance on the Joey Reynolds Show; coverage in weekly LA periodicals; service to mainstream media including People, Star, InTouch, Entertainment Weekly, Advocate, and Out; and comprehensive web promotion including coverage at online music stores, free downloads, and promotion via Facebook, MySpace, Taxi, and more.

Serge Kafmann Ima ou la mère dépossédée This eighth volume in the Musical Heritage of the Jews from France collection presents four essential works by Serge Kaufmann: his “Yiddish Suite” in an intimate cello and guitar version; the CD debut of the string trio “Memorah”; the sublime “Neshama” for solo cello; and the cantata “Ima or the mother dispossessed,” a cry of pain expressing the musical quintessence of the composer’s musical art. The prolific composer is, in the words of music critic Alain Duault, not only “a composer, but a Jewish composer who gives us the remnants of a fragmented memory that he feels one of the bearers of—as though these score pages rolled up into another Torah, where a nameless God speaks luminously, which enables him to be heard in the midst of night.”
