Herbie Hancock & Wayne Shorter at their very best, supporting Buster Williams’ genius compositions!

• A milestone in contemporary acoustic jazz!

• Named Album of the Year (1989) by French publication Jazzman.

• Although Buster Williams has recorded with a glittering cast of musical associates over the past 50 years, he has made just a handful of albums under his own name. This one is especially noteworthy since, in addition to showcasing Williams’ superlative bass playing and compositional prowess, it has the substantial bonus of having Herbie Hancock on piano and Wayne Shorter on tenor and soprano saxophones!

• Has played, recorded, and collaborated with jazz giants such as Art Blakey, Betty Carter, Carmen McRae, Chet Baker, Chick Corea, Dexter Gordon, Jimmy Heath, and many more.

• Has recorded many film soundtracks including David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and Spike Lee’s Clockers.

• Has appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where he performed five of his original compositions with the Branford Marsalis Tonight Show Band, as well as on Sesame Street, The Today Show, and more.

Buster Williams: bass, piccolo bass Herbie Hancock: piano, keyboards Wayne Shorter: tenor & soprano sax Shunzo Ohno: trumpet Al Foster: drums • Air Dancing • Christina • Fortune Dance • Something More • Decepticon • Sophisticated Lady • I Didn’t Know What Time It Was “A big deep sound with resilient beat, precise intonation, and inventive lines.” — Leonard Feather

“A superbly recorded CD with music to match the recording quality—music that yields additional felicities with each listening.”

— Jazz Journal International “Williams [is] always a highly articulate soloist with a not quite twangy but certainly tangy, resonant sound … Quiet as it’s kept, Williams’ talent also runs to writing. His ‘Christina’ is a thoughtful ballad he has recorded several times. This version, with the sensitive Reed at its center, was contemplative and calming, capable of sucking anxiety out of the air, if it had existed.” — JazzTimes (Live Performance Review) Key Markets: New York, Chicago, Washington DC, Miami, Los Angeles, Seattle

Woody Shaw In My Own Sweet Way

Paul Motian Bill Evans

By common critical consent, this is one of the late Woody Shaw’s best albums, featuring a minor masterpiece of trumpet improvisation: “Sippin‘ At Bells.” The recording, made in 1987, was the first to be released by IN+OUT Records. Unhappily, it proved to be Shaw’s last recording under his own name, as he died following a tragic accident in New York on March 10, 1989.

September 1990 marked the passage of 10 years since Bill Evans passed away. To commemorate this sad anniversary, Paul Motian recorded a tribute to this greatest of post-bop pianists. As Evans’ partner in the classical first Bill Evans Trio, Motian is supremely qualified to perpetuate Evans’ musical heritage. Replaces WTR JMT 919043, which is out of print.

Woody Shaw: trumpet/Fred Henke: piano/Neil Swainson: bass/ Alex Deutsch: drums

Extraordinarily virtuosic bassist Charnett Moffett shines as a leader and composer on this accessible, unique all-original set. Some of the most daring, fresh, and original music on the jazz scene today!

• Cover Sticker: Featuring Stanley Jordan, Rodney Holmes, Denardo Coleman, Oran Etkin, and Casimir Liberski.

• Voted #11 most popular electric bassist in the 2009 DownBeat Readers Poll.

• This CD follows up Moffett’s critically acclaimed 2009 release The Art of Improvisation, which generated extensive reviews and interviews, and was included in Jazz Inside’s Best of the Year list.

• World-renowned for his impeccable “swing,” Moffett’s concept for this set was to channel that famous swing through original compositions drawing on a surprising array of styles: classic jazz, groove jazz, free jazz, East Indian, gospel, classical, and even country music. An important jazz release!

• Moffett’s innovative and pyrotechnic bass playing continues to earn an ever-growing fan base among the millions of jazz and jam band fans who have viewed him onstage and on extremely popular YouTube videos.

• Moffett’s popularity is on the rise, partly due to the wide exposure he gained during his participation on guitarist Stanley Jordan’s 2008 Grammy-nominated State of Nature release and subsequent tour, as well as from his fiery presence on Jordan’s strong-selling Live at The New Morning DVD (2009).

The sophisticated, streetwise live debut by multi-award-winning jazz pianist Geri Allen’s popular quartet featuring Kenny Davis, Kassa Overall, and tap percussionist extraordinaire Maurice Chestnut.

• Cover Sticker: Recording debut of Allen’s fiery quartet with Kenny Davis, Kassa Overall, and tap percussionist Maurice Chestnut.

• This incendiary group gains standing ovations with their unique act that speaks the language of tap, drumming, and the street within the totally embracing context of Allen’s deep in-the-pocket, groove-oriented jazz. Allen is one of the most respected pianists of her generation, with scans of over 36,000 units as a leader.

• Geri Allen and her youthful group TIMELINE stand at the leading edge of a current, hip trend to include tap in jazz performances.

Tap percussionist Maurice Chestnut, a protégé of tap icon Savion Glover, proves himself to be one of the most innovative practitioners of his discipline, and a musician of the highest order.

• More than just a jazz band, this project galvanizes audiences and has a strong youth appeal, which has great potential to achieve widespread viral online and word-of-mouth marketing.

• Allen remains a consistent presence on the international performance circuit, with new dates coming in regularly. She has conducted annual weeklong engagements at the prestigious Village Vanguard and Iridium clubs in NYC and has performed at countless major venues including Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center and The Black Congressional Caucus Gala.

• This release is being cross-promoted with Geri Allen’s March solo piano release, Flying Toward The Sound. The publicity campaign is featuring both releases simultaneously to emphasize the extraordinary virtuosity and diversity of Allen’s career, which is making a quantum leap at this time. As these are her first releases in several years, and both are unique, major attention is expected in both jazz and African American lifestyle press.

• Terrestrial & online publicity campaign by DL Media.

• National radio campaign by Groov Marketing.

• Additional Publicity to African American lifestyle outlets by Motéma and GoMediaPR. • Ads with DownBeat, Hot House, and Jazz Inside.

Nicola Sergio Trio Symbols

Renske Taminiau Waiting To Be Told

For Nicola Sergio, as a composer as well as a pianist, jazz is a vibrant musical genre that has no specific boundaries. On this CD, there is an accent on the multicultural aspects of music, but also a strong classical influence.

A combination of pop and jazz with a whiff of folk, Waiting To Be Told refers to the work of American singer Lizz Wright, Rufus Wainwright, and Lesley Feist as sources of inspiration. This is a dynamic, characteristic, and shameless personal album full of warm melodies, great hooks, and expressive lyrical style.

• Other “celebrity” contributors to this tribute include vocalists J.J. Grey (Mofro), Jimmy Hall (Wet Willie, Jeff Beck), bassist Darryl Jones (Rolling Stones), keyboardist Mike Finnegan (Jimi Hendrix, Rod Stewart), and drummer Charley Dreyton (Herbie Hancock, Iggy Pop).

The newest release and 25th volume in the acclaimed Ethiopiques series!

• The swinging Addis of the 1960s and early 1970s (before the dreadful Derg’s Stalinist-military glaciations) was a period of intense experimentation that encompassed the traditional repertoire.

Whether Oromo or Amhara, all of the greatest voices of the time took part with intense creative fervor, as can be heard on this 25th CD in the Ethiopiques collection.

• Features such pop singers as Tlahoun Gèssèssè, Alèmayèhu Eshèté, Sèyfou Yohannes, and Essatu Tèssèmma as well as traditional artists, among them Fréw Haylou, Abbèbè Tèssèmma, and Haylé Wèrqu.

• Instruments include the washint flute, the krar lyre, and the one-string messenqo alongside “foreign” acoustic instruments such as the piano, accordion, and mandolin.

• Abbèbè Tèssèma: Gèbrè guratch guté • Tlahoun Gèssèssè: Agul nèw • Fréw Haylou: Almaz men eda nèw • Abbèbè Haylè-Michael: Qondjityé • Damtèw Ayèlè: Wèfé yelala • Tlahoun Gèssèssè: Megnot eko helm nèw • Alèmayèhu Eshèté: Enkoy nat yabay dar • Gèmètchu Itana: Yakolèlé • Essatu Tèssèmma: Tchebo aymolam • Haylé Wèrqu: Tsegérèda abèba • Tlahoun Gèssèssè: Feqer bétwan sèrta • Essatu Tèssèmma: Ayamaru eshèté • Abbèbè Tèssèma:Ashasha bèyèw • Abaynèh Dèdjèné: Yèbèrèha lomi • Tlahoun Gèssèssè: Kasègnèsh • Essatu Tèssèmma & Sèyfou Yohannes: Feqer bèqumèna • Gèmètchu Itana: Shemèrmari tiya • Essatu Tèssèmma: Abèbayénèsh • Tlahoun Gèssèssè: Bezu gizié allèfè • Haylé Wèrqu: YèBorèna gamé • Abaynèh Dèdjèné: Balèndjèré • Tlahoun Gèssèssè: Sèlam lèhulatchen

Air Mail Music Armenian Choirs Led by Tatul Altunyan, the group Armenia (founded in 1938 in Yerevan) gave performances until the 1980s. As its name suggests, it was devoted essentially to the performance of Armenian folk songs and dances, but also to popular songs in the Armenian language written by living composers. The group is remembered as a perfect illustration of the beauty of traditional Armenian music.

Track Listing: Festive Song • Tender Dilbar • Thello • Orovel • Go Away • Verdes • To The Sun • Sev, Seve • Alagiaz • Kalin Ert • Osanna • Krunk,Partridge • Et Orkartari • Djakhats • Natik, Natike • Es Gisher Armenia/World Air Mail Music Cat # PLS 141198 Price Code: J (SRP $9.99) Number of Discs: 1 Jewel Case; Box Lot 25

Air Mail Music Brazil Calypso Samba Samba, calypso, maracatu... We are in Bahia, in the Brazilian Nordeste, where a complex musical tradition is dominated by African influences. Ile Axe, a group devoted to Afro-Brazilian music, combines steel band with Brazilian rhythms, and maracatu with jembe. The result is a joyous carnival atmosphere—Brazilian music as you have never heard it before! On this album, the group’s creative works are sensuous, mysterious, and powerful, based on African melodies and rhythms that—despite the massive displacements of whole populations—have retained their soul. Another originality lies in the group’s combination of steel drums (from the Caribbean) with Brazilian music, resulting in a bewitching new rhythm: calypso-samba!

Air Mail Music Fado: Instrumental This work by Arménio de Melo and José Maria Nobrega, two of the best fado instrumentalists of the present day, is the first of its kind to have been devised and recorded with the specific aim of providing a reference work for those interested in the musical aspect of fado. The poignant emotion, the brilliant timbre, a wealth of rhythm, and a feeling for improvisation are all there, and are brilliantly performed in this anthology.

“Karunesh took an active interest in music during his youth in Germany, back when he was still known as Bruno Reuter. But it wasn’t until he was 23 and took a mean spill off his motorbike that Reuter received his epiphany in the form of new age spiritualism. A pilgrimage to India followed, where he reemerged as Karunesh (Sanskrit for ‘compassion’). He issued his debut LP, Sounds of the Heart, in 1984, and never looked back. Karunesh was remarkably consistent over the next 20 years, releasing numerous albums influenced by the windy landscape of world music and punctuated with breathy flutes, introspective guitars, and hints of vocal and electronics.” — All Music Guide Key Markets: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Seattle Also Available ORM KM 2 (Q) Heart Chakra Meditation II (851324002023)
