• Trained in composition by the late, great saxophonist Yusef Lateef and New York guitar icon Dave Stryker, Apicella’s roots in classic American jazz run deep.

• Prior self-released CD The Business reached #7 on the CMJ Jazz Top 40 for two weeks in September 2011, and was on the national playlist in Starbucks stores for several months.

• On her impressive ZOHO debut, New York-based vocalist Vanessa Perea sings with the mature phrasing, clear articulation, flawless intonation, and rhythmic assuredness that she may have absorbed through endless hours of listening to her heroines Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Anita O’Day. • The 26-year-old daughter of a Cuban mother and a Colombian father, Perea grew up in her New Jersey household with the sounds of salsa and cumbia music while also singing in her church choir. Credit Grammy®-nominated jazz singer Roseanna Vitro, Vanessa’s teacher at New Jersey City University, with introducing her to the sounds of Ella, Sarah, and Anita.

• From bebop to bossa nova to a stroll through the Great American Songbook, Perea handles each tune on Soulful Days with an air of nonchalance and sense of confidence that belies her young age. Credit trombonist Rob Edwards, an accomplished improviser himself, with the creative arrangements.

Tobias Meinhart Quartet In Between Award-winning New York-based young tenor player Tobias Meinhart returns to Germany from time to time to collaborate with his “old buddies,” and with them he recorded his second album.

In Between is a very personal album, in opposition to the restlessness in which it was created. The title song builds up slowly, repeatedly spinning a simple melodic phrase until it culminates in a fulminant drum solo.

• Trio Ivoire has become a reference point for the link between African music, European tradition, and jazz history. The band members, instruments, and shared spirit undoubtedly set standards.

• Timbuktu, the CD title and the name of the capital of Mali, has two meanings for the participating musicians. On one hand, the city stands for the rich heritage of Africa on many cultural levels, including musical. On the other hand, it stands for violence and chaos.

• Trio Ivoire has succeeded impressively, from their beginnings in 1999 to today, in interweaving the music of West Africa with Western music, above all jazz, without sacrificing or compromising either one.

“As Van Gogh did, he applies himself to his craft and we leave feeling we have known an artist.”

— LOS ANGELES TIMES, review of Vincent “Mr. Ball’s theatrical baritone, which inflects Gordon MacRea’s smoothness and a growling echo of Johnny Cash, was made for exactly this kind of role.”

— NEW YORK TIMES, review of Cowboy “Ball has a hound dog’s face that can suddenly break into a snarl. His voice is a powerful instrument, perfect for Sweeney’s haunted reveries, and he has a marvelous vocal technique.” — LOS ANGELES TIMES, review of Sweeney Todd “A baritone who peels the words from the hide of Brel’s winters in a voice of dark steel.” — LOS ANGELES HERALD EXAMINER

Pauline Ngoc Les amoureux qui passent

Mamadou Diabate & Percussion Mania Masaba Khan

Born to a French father and Vietnamese mother, Pauline Ngoc rose to fame in Vietnam in the ’70s. When the Vietcong took over, Pauline had to escape from her country and ended up in Paris, the Ivory Coast, and finally the U.S. Her unparalleled chanson-art is characterized by a mixture of Asian, European, American, and African music.

“A huge, colorful mosaic, in which all the bricks have the freedom to change their position, color, and shape.” This is how balafon player Mamadou Diabaté sees the world. The musician from Burkina Faso lives out the belief with his entire heart and soul: deeply rooted in the centuries-old Griot culture of West Africa, he revives them with new flashes of inspiration from pop, jazz, and funk.

Track Listing: Et Pourtant • Jardin D’Hiver • Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles • La Mer • Ces Petits Riens • Hymne À l’amour • Il M’a Dit Que Je Suis Belle • Petite Fleur • Les Amoureux Qui ˜ Lòng • ‘Chuyên tình mùa Passent • Bonjour Viêt Nam • Nôi dông’ • Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien • Comment Te Dire Adieu
