Lauren Lee- Jazz – Silvana
January 26, 2020 – New York

New Music coming your way from singer/pianist/composer Lauren Lee. Her work intentionally inhabits this place of “between”, and in Lee’s case, the “between” is nestled between where jazz has been and where jazz is going. Her work is praised for her virtuosic improvisational abilities on both piano and voice, as well as her emotional and harmonic prowess as a composer. Check out her new album, “Windowsill”, released 10/2019 on Ears and Eyes records. “Lee- in her voice and at the keyboard- is, in a very balanced way, presenting a unique approach, but one grounded enough to support the contrasting moods and musics, which really is what makes ‘Windowsill’ so engrossing” – Anthony Dean- Harris, DOWNBEAT Mag

Pasquale Grasso – Solo Guitar – Cafe Bohemia
January 28, 2020 – New York

The best guitar player Ive heard in maybe my entire life is floating around now, Pasquale Grasso, – Pat Metheny Vintage Guitar MagazineBorn in Italy and now based in New York City, the 30-year- old guitarist has developed an astounding technique and concept informed not by jazz guitarists so much as by bebop pioneers like Powell, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie and the classical-guitar tradition. His new digital-only EP series, available beginning in June from Sony Masterworks, showcases Grasso in the solo-guitar format, where his intensive studies of both mid-century jazz and classical meld into a signature mastery that is, remarkably, at once unprecedented and evocative.

New York based Mike Casey is a melody poet. The story-telling songwriter, producer, and sonic alchemist is a multi-talented force whose soul stirring saxophone sound and inventive use of phrasing reaches out with love and embraces your musical desires, one note at a time.Bringing the joy of jazz across genre lines to a diverse young audience around the world, Mikes music passed 4 million streams in the first two years of his recording career (against all odds, without a record label or a team – an anomaly in the genre). On a mission to be a passionate vessel for jazz in the 21st century, his searing sound, always aiming to connect emotionally and tell a story, demands the attention of the listener. This is not your parents elevator music.Im not interested in sizzle over substance, he says. Improvising, or as like to think of it, spontaneous composing, is not about displaying skill for ego’s sake. I aim to deliver each musical statement with power, honesty, and passion to connect with audiences.

Leo Sherman Quartet – “Tonewheel” Record Release – Cafe Bohemia
February 01, 2020 – New York

New York-based bassist/composer Leo Sherman impregnates his debut album, Tonewheel, with diverse, rewarding content that includes catchy themes, stimulating improvised moments, and energy-filled vamps. The album, conceived as a musical self-portrait, reflects his existence from an early childhood until the present day, and describes sensitive phases such as when he and his family had to run away from Leningrad in 1987, his difficult upbringing in Baltimore, as well as his maturation as a musician in New York. He plays the albums nine originals alongside saxophone sensation Paul Jones, adventurer guitarist Alex Goodman, eclectic pianist Ben Winkelman, and elegant drummer Dan Pugach.The first track, In Flight, unveils the quintets graciously toned expressions. Besides soaring melodies, the theme statement also incorporates a suave middle passage shaped with rhythmically defined piano textures, bowed bass-guitar unisons, and saxophone counter lines. The climax arrives when the soloists – Goodman and Jones – play brilliant colors over smart, dynamic accompaniments.Similar emotions flow from Chagall, a piece that revels in the edgier boundaries of modal post-bop, marked by… (read more)
