jazz • On this superb recording, supremely gifted Danish guitarist Jacob Fischer—who has been identified with the Django Reinhardt tradition— makes his debut on Arbors Records.

• Joining Fischer is jazz guitar legend Bucky Pizzarelli along with Antti Sarpila on clarinet, Nicki Parrott on bass, and Eddie Metz on drums.

• Fischer pays the ultimate homage to masters Django Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery, and Herb Ellis not by re-creating their music, but by treating it as a viable outlet for his individual and unique musical expression.

• Fischer’s own highly personal and expressive guitar sound can range from dark and resonant in the lower register to biting and intense at the top.

• Promotional copies will be sent to an extended list of over 140 jazz critics and over 185 radio stations.

• Philippe Le Baraillec is a rare pearl, with just three albums to his name over the last 15 years. Suffice it to say that his fourth is hotly anticipated!

• Features American tenor saxophonist Chris Cheek, a prolific musician with 60 albums to his name who counts Paul Motian, Brian Blade, Carla Bley, and Steve Swallow among his admirers.

• Rhythm section includes Japanese drummer Ichiro Onoé, who has worked with Bobby Few, Tom McClung, Rasul Siddik, and Mina Agossi; and Italian bassist Mauro Gargano, who regularly plays alongside Paolo Fresu, Bruno Angelini, and Michel Legrand.

• The pianist has once again worked with producer Jean-Jacques Pussiau, who worked with him on his acclaimed first recordings on Owl Records’ Echoes from my Room. The title he has chosen for his new album, Involved, reveals his true identity—that of a committed, involved artist.

• Taught by Samy Abenaïm in the classical tradition, the pianist later discovered a form of serenity through teaching at the Bill Evans Piano Academy under the direction of Bernard Maury.

• Eight of the nine tracks on the album are his own compositions, and display a rich imagination via suggestion, rather than imposition, allowing the listener to dream and construct his own impression.

Grammy®-winning pianist/composer/bandleader Arturo O’Farrill presents his stunning first piano solo recording!

• Internationally renowned pianist, composer, arranger, bandleader, and Grammy® winner Arturo O’Farrill has been at the vanguard of forward-thinking jazz and Latin music for several decades.

• These sessions were inspired by the profound, monumental artwork of Japanese/American sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–88), and recorded at the Noguchi Museum in Long Island City in October 2011.

• Six O’Farrill originals and six American Songbook classics masterfully cover a huge musical range, from mid-19th century composer Stephen Foster and the famous 1929 Afro-Cuban classic anthem “Siboney” to O’Farrill’s highly expressive, musical-border-crossing contemporary pianism.

• Aggressive grassroots media campaign by Jim Eigo, Jazz Promo Services, directed at jazz, Latin, and piano music press and e-media.

• Ads with DownBeat (August 2012).

Originating in Scotland, hard rock band Nazareth was founded in 1968 and enjoyed several British hits in the early 1970s before establishing a worldwide fan following with their 1975 album Hair of the Dog. Recorded and filmed live at the Camden Palace, London in 1985, this is the classic Nazareth line-up performing some of their greatest worldwide hits including “Love Hurts,” perhaps their best-known hit single and a heartbreaking ballad that became a worldwide hit in 1975. Bonus features include a neverseen-before photo gallery of the band’s performance.

Formed in 1968, Man is a rock band from South Wales whose style is a mixture of West Coast psychedelia, progressive rock, blues, and country rock. Not unlike the Grateful Dead, they are renowned for playing extended jams during their live performances. In the summer of 1983, Man performed at the world famous Marquee Club in London, which at the time celebrated its silver jubilee with a two-day festival of live music. It was after a seven-year hiatus that Man returned to perform live, at this historical event, playing all their anthems.

Wabotaï Circle Songs Intertwining rhythms, overlapping & responding voices, and swaying bodies represent the characteristic features of these circular songs inspired by the Pygmies and Mongos of Northern Congo. There is a vital, repetitive impulse, a source of trance that transcends the rich harmony and polyphony, and a polyrhythmic sophistication that gives these songs (sung in Lingala, English, and Japanese!) their unique nature. Jean-Paul Wabotaï is also a very talented painter, whose works are exhibited at the venues where he performs in concert. The CD booklet presents some of his paintings, which are the visual reflection of the underlying humanist dimension in his work, whether musical or pictorial.

JB Moundélé Fanka Bi Na Over the last decade, while traveling Africa and the world with Tiken Jah Fakoly, JB Moundélé decided to take his saxophone to other musical lands. However, his first solo album Fanka Bi Na retains beautiful African colors and could be labeled as Mandingo jazz. An author, composer, and producer, JB has long been immersed in jazz, funk, electro, and African music—a background that has enabled him to achieve a large range of tone colors. For this album, the saxophonist has invited some of the great African musicians who have crossed his path to join him.
