NEW RELEASES - SAM DEES, GABE EVANS, LELAND SCOTT DAVIS

SAM DEES - THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Real Gone Music has slated a January 29 release for Sam Dees - The Show Must Gon On. If you're a soul fan, then you'll love this one. Sam Dees penned hits for Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, George Benson and Gladys Knight among many others, but on his own he recorded what a consensus of soul collectors regard as one of the best LPs of the '70s, The Show Must Go On, to which Real Gone Music have appended no less than six bonus single sides! This has never been out as a stand-alone CD; highly, highly recommended!


GABE EVANS - THE COSMIC RIGHTEOUSNESS OF ROARING TIGERS

The Cosmic Righteousness of Roaring Tigers is an album of original funk music performed by a jazz sextet. The tunes are melodic, grooving and sometimes humorous, and feature creative arrangements that allow plenty of space to showcase the soloists Gabe Evens (composer) on piano, Greg Lyons on tenor sax, Patrick Terbrack on alto sax, Marques Young on trombone. The joy shared while recording this music is paralleled by the crazy groove laid down by the incredible Christy Smith on bass and Erik Hargrove on drums. This music is guaranteed to get your body moving, and if you listen carefully you may hear the roar of a tiger! ~ CD Universe
