NEW RELEASES - DR. JOHN / DONALD HARRISON, CRAIG YAREMKO ORGAN TRIO, JOHN STOWELL / DAVE LIEBMAN

DR. JOHN / DONALD HARRISON - DR. JOHN MEETS DONALD HARRISON: NEW ORLEANS GUMBO

Dr. John brings his own very personal style of New Orleans R&B to meet the raucous rattle of the Mardi Gras Indians and Donald Harrison in this contemporary slice of New Orleans musical history. Both men are in their way ''the living embodiment of New Orleans culture'' - Dr. John has brought his ''Night Tripper Gris Gris'' to augment the Guardians of the Flame chants and tambourines with the Mardi Gras Indians inspired jazz saxophone of Donald Harrison, one of New Orleans' favorite sons. New Orleans unique milieu and underlying principles drive this session - ''Coming from New Orleans it's just about having a good time with the music'' says Donald, and Dr. John agrees ''Accidental stuff happens and it's better than anything you could plan.'' ~ amazon.com

CRAIG YAREMKO ORGAN TIO - CYO3

The New York-based saxophonist, along with organist Matt King, drummer Jonathon Peretz, and special guest guitarist Vic Juris, push the limits of the tradition while displaying a powerful group chemistry. The band swings hard on originals by both Yaremko and King, as well as putting fresh spins on jazz classics by Monk, Strayhorn, Hubbard and Waller. CYO3 is Yaremko's debut on OA2 Records and his fourth as a leader following his recording Sync, which was a Top Ten pick from New York's Hot House Magazine for Release Of The Year in 2007. ~ amazon.com


JOHN STOWELL / DAVE LIEBMAN - BLUE ROSE

The singular guitarist John Stowell and saxophone legend Dave Liebman have been friends and colleagues for decades and occasionally find time to perform or record together, such as on Stowell's 2002 release, 'The Banff Sessions' (Origin). For 'Blue Rose,' Stowell and Liebman gathered at a studio in the heart of the Pocono Mountains for an intimate set of duets, performing standards such as Cole Porter's 'Everything I Love,' along with compositions from modern jazz composers, including Wayne Shorter's 'Black Eyes' and Kenny Wheeler's 'Everybody's Song But My Own.' ~ amazon.com
