NEW YORK TIMES: “Mark Murphy, an iconoclastic jazz vocalist who drew inspiration from such varied sources as the sound of his hometown factory whistle and the words of the Beat novelist Jack Kerouac, died [in late October] … A resonant baritone, Mr. Murphy was nominated for six Grammy Awards® and was cited multiple times by readers of DownBeat magazine as male vocalist of the year.”

LA JAZZ SCENE: “Arbors, one of the most important mainstream jazz labels of the past 30 years, is fortunately continuing on under the direction of Rachel Domber, the widow of Mat Domber. Its quantity of releases slowed after Mat Domber’s passing, but the quality of its music remains quite high as can be heard on this wonderful release … Vache teams up with tenor-saxophonist Houston Person, pianist Tardo Hammer, bassist Nick Parrott (who also sings a few of the numbers), and drummer Leroy Williams on 13 Benny Carter songs that date from the 1930s to the ’80s.”

JAZZ WEEKLY: “The rich textures and melding sounds range from American blues and folk to complex yet accessible hues … Musically, there is much to offer, as pieces such as ‘Waya’ (with guest drummer Tony Allen) mix lithe lines with complex rhythms that take you to the Gold Coast of Africa, while his rich voice feels like a balm here … a journey worth following.”

Ven Paintbox A good paintbox has everything a painter needs: the three primary colors, the secondary colors, and the basic colors of black and white. The fact that Jonas Windscheid uses a guitar instead of a brush is due to his own unique approach to color theory. The 33-year-old musician is perhaps one of the most interesting of the young German generation; his paintbox consists of both wellknown and rather arcane tones, with which he expresses his varied creativity.

Jean Warland & Fabrice Alleman The Duet

Paolo Radoni Trio A Day or Two (Remastered)

The final recording of bassist/composer Jean Warland (b.1926), who sadly passed away on June 16, 2015. Jean lived a full life through the turbulent history of jazz, enjoying friendships and encounters with such musicians as Kenny Clarke, Dizzy Gillespie, and Francis Boland.

A beautifully remastered reissue of Paolo Radoni recordings originally released in 1993. Paolo was born in Italy, but moved to Belgium at an early age. He played around the world with renowned soloists like Lee Konitz, Joe Lee Wilson, Johnny Dyani, Joe Lovano, and many others. A gentleman and an artist of great class, Paolo left this world in December 2007 listening to “Luiza,” a song by Jobim that he considered a true masterpiece.

Goodman-Bordenave Quintet Inverted Forest There is nothing that has not been said about Geoff Goodman and his signature guitar style, incomparable in every respect, since he showed up in Europe in 1979. Bewildered critics called him the “Juan Miro of strings” while Cadence magazine groped for words: “post-Bop, postMonk, post-Ornette, post-Dolphy, post-Frisell, post-everything.” A modern jazz musician without blinders, he is constantly evolving.

In the 1950s, a Birdland All Stars Tour brought the Modern Jazz Quartet to various German cities, where they shared stages with Miles Davis, Lester Young, and Bud Powell. In the run-up to the European tour in 1957, the band’s leader approached the organizers with a request: that the concerts mostly take place at smaller halls, ideal for chamber music. This would not only provide the MJQ’s music with a fitting setting, but also attract a new audience, who could not be reached at the band’s usual concert locations.

SELLING POINTS • Unreleased original concert recording, beautifully remastered.

• Recorded November 6, 1957 in Cologne at the Gürzenich Concert Hall.

JANUARY 2016 Rebétika music is haunted with stories of sailors and convicts, tearful love affairs and hashish dreams. This music style came about in the early 20th century in the oft-infamous cafes of Greek and Turkish port towns. It is a fascinating repertoire, falling somewhere between sentimental song, social protest, and Eastern poetry. On this new album, Greek singer María Símoglou showcases 13 rebétika pieces that she especially cherishes.

Selling Points • Thirteen cherished rebétika pieces from Greek singer María Símoglou.

• Features the gorgeous acoustic sound of traditional instruments.

Suzanne B. Hanser is founding chair of the Music Therapy Department at Berklee College of Music. Dr. Hanser is past President of both the World Federation of Music Therapy and the National Association for Music Therapy. She founded the music therapy program at the Leonard P. Zakim Center for Integrated Therapies at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and is also a Resident Scholar at the Women’s Studies Research Center at Brandeis University. She is the author of The New Music Therapist’s Handbook, and co-author of Manage Your Stress and Pain with Dr. Susan Mandel.

Dr. Daniel Kobialka’s career began at the age of 13, when he debuted in Carnegie Hall in New York, and has taken him on a fantastic musical journey from soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra to Concertmaster for Leonard Bernstein’s “Mass.” These extraordinary experiences provided him the incentive to found his own record company, LiSem Enterprises, Inc., to freely pursue his own interpretations of the classics, folk, jazz, and new age, as well as to pursue his interest in avant-garde music.
