• For their debut CD, this Seattle-bred, New York-based brass quartet interprets chamber pieces, jazz tunes, and film music composed by their mentor Wayne Horvitz.

• An intimate view of one of America’s most engaging genrebending artists, the album’s combination of folk, classical, and improvisational approaches will appeal far beyond jazz circles.

• High-res sound captured in a spacious cabin on Lopez Island, WA, where the band worked with producer Horvitz for a full week.

• Though the focus is on Horvitz’s beautiful compositions, The Westerlies also honor the improvisational heart of the music; Horvitz joins them on synthesizer for several improvised interludes.

• Once a shining light on the NY downtown jazz scene, Peter Epstein returns with a new, exceptionally coherent quartet whose members have been performing together in different configurations for the better part of two decades.

• The group’s shared language and clarity of communication is nuanced and powerful, with a dynamic that ranges from subtle introspection to roaring ferocity.

• Epstein is head of the jazz program at UNR in Reno, and his music integrates a lot of jazz history (echoes of Ornette’s original quartet for example), and occasionally world music feels, into a beautiful whole.

• Ralph Alessi is himself a well-known leader; his latest release is on ECM. • Open, dynamic audiophile sound.

• Friedrich Gulda was born in Vienna, studied piano and theory at the musical academy, and quickly made a name for himself as a concert pianist. In 1946 he won first prize for piano at the International Music Competition in Geneva, and began an international career that took him to all of the major music centers of the world.

• He became heavily involved with jazz, made appearances as a jazz pianist and composed in this style, whose original improvisatory makings and creative opportunities particularly appealed to his multifaceted talent.

• Joe Zawinul was born in Vienna and began to play the accordion at age five; he studied piano and violin at the Vienna Conservatory. In the early fifties he made his name through his work with the Austrian All Stars, Friedrich Gulda, and the Fatty George Band.

• A scholarship in 1959 enabled him to study at the Berklee School of Music in Boston, where he appeared with Maynard Ferguson’s Birdland Dream Band. Following that, he accompanied Dinah Washington for two years, then formed a 10-year partnership, including 25 recordings, with Cannonball Adderley’s worldfamous combo. Five major records with Miles Davis were also produced during this time.

• In 1971 he founded the supergroup Weather Report with Wayne Shorter, voted Top Band in the World for 15 years in the DownBeat International Critics Poll! The Poll has also voted him Best Keyboardist 33 times!

• Felix Schlarmann’s first album as a leader!

• Over the past years, Felix focused on being a bandleader and composer, in addition to playing with numerous projects. This versatile drummer’s music consists of fragile melodies and energetic explosions; an emotional sound filled with contradiction.

• Schlarmann earned his reputation in the Dutch jazz scene as the drummer of the power jazz group BRUUT!, with which he has performed all over the globe, as well as with the famous Dutch saxophone player Jasper Blom, with whom he brings the music of Franz Schubert to the big stages with the group Mechanical Duck.

• The musicians in Schlarmann’s group belong to the rising stars of the young Dutch scene: piano player Franz von Chossy created a name for himself all over Europe and beyond; saxophone player Lars Dietrich earned his stripes working with many great musicians such as John Escreet and David Binney; Floris van der Vlugt has worked with countless artists in the Netherlands and just started his own all-star septet Windkracht 7; and young British bass player Pat Cleaver has managed to become one the most-wanted players in the country, in just a few years!

• Unissued on 78s means just that: some of the songs here may have appeared on LPs, but even so they would be several decades old by now, and collector’s items in their own right!

• When Victor’s mobile recording unit arrived in Houston, Texas in March 1925, one of the bands they chose to record was led by Lloyd Finlay.

Seven titles were made, of which six were issued. Beyond the facts that Seger Ellis was their piano player, and that Jack Murhill sang on the unissued title, nothing else is known about this quite interesting group, which falls stylistically somewhere between hot dance music and country.

• Victor’s second choice for that trip was Fatty Martin’s Orchestra, a much more straightforward jazz outfit than Finlay’s. Two excellent titles resulted, and although we do have a partial list of personnel for the orchestra, that is as far as our knowledge goes! After this one session, the participants returned to recorded obscurity.

• Next up are two titles also made for Victor’s mobile unit, but in New Orleans by Tony Parenti and his Famous Melody Boys. This was their third recording session of 1925, having already made one Victor session on the previous day, and one several months earlier for Columbia. The two selections here are first-rate examples of New Orleans jazz of the middle ’20s.

Josh White Jr. & Richard Smerin Live In Franconia

Downtown NYC jazz visionary Elliott Sharp presents his latest offering with Terraplane, which both harnesses the blues tradition, and moves beyond it!

• Given Elliott Sharp’s reputation as one of the founders of New York City’s “downtown scene,” it is no surprise that his latest offering with Terraplane both harnesses the blues tradition, and moves beyond it.

• As a musician, Sharp aims to keep one foot in the past and one foot in the future, and he applies this rule to Terraplane with a vengeance.

• Formed in 1991, Terraplane synthesizes the intersection of country and urban blues with Mississippi fife & drum bands, post-Ayler jazz, and Sharp’s own sonic innovations on guitars and sax — all while maintaining the rhythmic force of the groove!

Dave Stringer Japa

Dave Stringer Ojas

Dave Stringer’s joyous and gospel-tinged Sanskrit Kirtan CD Japa was made to drive and sing along to! Recorded in a series of live-in-the-studio sessions, this is a call-and response Kirtan CD infused with gospel-inflected vocals, barefoot grooves, and improvisational epiphanies.

This production is full and energetic, showcasing radiant vocal harmonies and sophisticated, propulsive rhythms that reference flamenco, traditional Indian folk music, and straight-ahead American roots rock. Instrumental overlays evoke klezmer, cool jazz, and Hindustani classical music in combinations that feel simultaneously astonishing and effortless.

Remy Couvez & Sylvain Boudou Hurdy Gurdy & Organ Play J.S. Bach What would J.S. Bach think of this duet? A composer and hurdy-gurdy player, plus an organist and teacher, both hailing from different musical fields but sharing a passion for the composer’s music. In all these pieces, Rémy Couvez only uses the chanterelle strings (which play the melody), letting Sylvain Boudou’s organ play the other parts. Even on works by Bach, Remy’s style can be identified via the ornamentations that he has allowed himself while respecting the great composer’s writing.
