JAZZTIMES HIGHS & LOWS OF 2011: “At the 53rd annual Grammy Awards, held in Los Angeles on Feb. 13, Esperanza Spalding made history when she became the first jazz performer to win Best New Artist … The victory was considered an upset to much of the Grammy-viewing masses, who saw Justin Bieber as a shoo-in and Spalding as an attractive, gracious-sounding young woman they’d never heard of … [but] jazz people were ecstatic.” AVY 36 (Q) Junjo (8427328883368)

Michel Godard Ivresses Born near Belfort, France in 1960, Michel Godard soon established himself as an extraordinarily versatile exponent of the tuba, pursuing a career in jazz and classical music. Today, he is one of the most virtuous tuba players in jazz and improvised music. Godard’s tuba performance is fantastic in every sense: his technical skill is astounding, his tone clear and warm, and his ability to produce overtones (“multiphonics”) leaves the listener surprised at how light a seemingly cumbersome and heavy-weight tuba can sound.

After tackling American maverick composer Charles Ives—and being rewarded with a Grammy nomination—vocalist Theo Bleckmann takes on the songbook of British pop recluse Kate Bush! • A jazz singer and composer of eclectic tastes and prodigious gifts, Grammy nominee Theo Bleckmann makes music that is accessibly sophisticated, unsentimentally emotional, and seriously playful. • This project goes beyond merely recreating Kate’s Bush music, taking it to further realms of sound and interpretation. Joining Theo in this venture are longtime collaborator percussionist John Hollenbeck, bassist Skúli Sverrisson, and keyboardist Henry Hey. • Features special guest, multi-instrumentalist Caleb Burhans, on viola and guitar. • Promotion handled by Matt Merewitz. • Special review in March issue of DownBeat, for Hello Earth! and the new album from Kate Bush, 50 Words For Snow (Anti-). • Ad will run in the April issue of DownBeat. • NPR will stream the song “Love And Anger” on their online column “Song of the Day” on or shortly after the March street date. Theo Bleckmann: vocals Henry Hey: keyboards Skúli Sverrisson: electric bass Caleb Burhans: strings, voice, guitar John Hollenbeck: drums, percussion Track Listing • Running Up That Hill • Suspended In Gaffa • And Dream Of Sheep • Under Ice • Violin • Hello Earth • Cloudbusting • All The Love • Saxophone Song • Army Dreamers • The Man With The Child In His Eyes • Watching You Without Me • Love And Anger • This Woman’s Work “From start to finish, Bleckmann’s explorations of his cult hero in the pop world provide the ideal vehicle for him to rise above his own cult status in modern jazz.” — DownBeat “A vocalist of inventive instinct and assiduous musicality … Kate Bush is a special fit for him. The arc of her career, uneasily abutting art-rock and alternative music, jibes with his own off-kilter profile.” — Nate Chinen, New York Times “One of the most flexible and uncategorizable figures on the New York scene; since the mid-’90s he’s been doing his thing in a niche of his own invention, somewhere between jazz, cabaret, classical, experimental, and improvised music.” — Chicago Reader

rock • Ian Gillan is one of the foremost vocalists of the classic hard rock style of music that first emerged in the 1970s. After fronting Black Sabbath and quitting Deep Purple, he formed his Ian Gillan Band in 1975. • Though the Deep Purple influence was never wiped clean, Gillan did make an effort to introduce a broader dimension to his music, and he was at his most adventurous on the follow-up album: Clear Air Turbulence. Displaying great musicianship and clever arrangements of a more eclectic style of music, the album even features no less than five horn players. Some of the material features jazz fusion-influences, and overall the album turned out much more experimental than Gillan’s previous work with Deep Purple. • In essence, Before The Turbulence contains the original mixes of the Clear Air Turbulence record, and also features two bonus tracks recorded live in Hiroshima, as well as an interview with guitarist Ray Fenwick. • Promo copies mailed to an extensive list of media contacts: radio, websites, and magazines.

Various Artists Great Motion Picture Themes

This CD contains 24 tracks that have never appeared on any LPs. One of the most distinctive pop singers of the 1950s, Julie London enjoyed a varied career.

Gurunam Singh Honoring the Divine Feminine This is a beautiful prayer recited for opening oneself up to the divine feminine energy. For a man, it can be used to elevate his communication with the women in his life. In the same way that many women recite the “Sopurkh” prayer for the men in their lives, men can recite this “Bhand Jamee-ai” prayer for a woman. When a woman recites the prayer, it empowers her and gives her the dignity that is her birthright.

Hawaiian Trio & Takiti Hawaiian Guitar

Helena Sarmento Fado Eternel

This album presents “classics” of Hawaiian music by composers of renown, including King Kalakaua, Queen Liliuokalani, Prince Leleiohoku, Kaimanahila, and others. This lively music, with the authentic sound of Hawaiian guitars, was recorded in Hawaii some 30 years ago.

Fado continues to preserve the true identity of the Portuguese people. Helena Sarmento stands out as a reference, with a unique style, a singular voice, and an original repertoire. This CD puts her in the front line of the fado singers who bear the responsibility of taking Portuguese culture into the future.

A poet armed with an acoustic guitar & the songs of a troubadour! • Born in 1972 in Cuba, David Álvarez studied percussion, guitar, and direction in various cities including Manzanillo, Santiago de Cuba, and Havana. He began his professional career touring the country with La Nueva Trova Cubana, and then joined Pedro Luis Ferrer’s legendary group. • Founder of Juego de Manos, one of the most accomplished new groups in Cuba. • Álvarez is also an accomplished songwriter, and is the author of the song “Bongo,” interpreted most famously by Miami-based international salsa star Willy Chirino. • Whether in cumbia, son, or one of his trademark rootsy fusions, Álvarez adds his unique voice to give the song that special dynamic flavour and zest.

military history About the book:

General Merrill A. “Tony” McPeak was the 14th Chief of Staff of the US Air Force. Hangar Flying is a memoir of his early service in fighter squadrons, a story about military flying in the tumultuous 1960s. The book may be regarded as a primary source for understanding what happened in front-line aviation units when the Berlin Wall went up, during the Bay of Pigs Invasion or the Cuban missile crisis, at the height of our presence in South Vietnam, or just day-to-day during the long facedown with the Soviet Union. Surely only a handful of military officers had a ringside seat for so much of the Cold War, in so many of its settings. Hangar Flying is the first book of a three-volume series. The second title will take General McPeak through the 1970s and ’80s, during which he served in a series of increasingly important staff and command positions and rose to four-star rank. The final volume will cover his four-year period as the Air Force’s 14th Chief of Staff. About the author:

General Merrill A. (“Tony”) McPeak entered the Air Force in 1957 as a Distinguished Graduate of the San Diego State College ROTC program. A career fighter pilot, he spent two years with the Air Force’s elite aerobatic team, the Thunderbirds, performing before millions of people in nearly 200 official air shows in the US and overseas. He flew 269 combat missions in Vietnam. Senior leadership assignments included command of the 20th Fighter Wing in NATO, the Twelfth Air Force (and concurrently US Southern Command Air Forces), and the Pacific Air Forces. He was Air Force chief during a period of very active US involvement overseas, including Operation Desert Storm. While leading the Air Force, he conceived and executed the most extensive reorganization in its history, creating a service better suited to meet the nation’s defense needs.

He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, New York City, and in 2008 was a national co-chairman of Obama For President.
