BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB - LOST AND FOUND
World Circuit Records is set to release Buena Vista Social
Club’s Lost and Found on March 24, distributed in North America by Nonesuch
Records. Coming almost two decades after the release of the original
Grammy-winning, self-titled LP, the new album is a collection of previously
unreleased tracks––some of which were recorded during the original album’s
sessions in Havana and others from the years that followed. The studio tracks on Lost and Found were
recorded at the 1996 Egrem studio sessions in Havana and during a period of
rich and prolific creativity stretching into the early 2000s following the
recording of the original album. Lost and Found also features live recordings
from the world tours of Buena Vista’s legendary veterans. “Over the years we
were often asked what unreleased material was left in the vaults,” says World
Circuit’s Nick Gold. “We knew of some gems, favorites amongst the musicians,
but we were always too busy working on the next project to go back and see what
else we had. When we eventually found the time, we were astonished at how much
wonderful music there was.” ~ Amazon
JEFF GOLUB - THE VAULT
On New Year s Day 2015, the music world mourned the death of
Jeff Golub. After suffering the loss of his eyesight 3 years earlier, Jeff was
diagnosed with PSP, a rare brain disease which rapidly debilitated his entire
body and ultimately robbed him of the ability to play guitar. Knowing that Jeff
s playing days were over, three of his closest friends and musical
collaborators, Steven Miller, Rick Braun and Bud Harner dug deep into the Golub
vault and uncovered some rare gems - radically different versions of some of
Jeff s early tunes along with 2 songs that were never released. From there,
Jeff handpicked a number of musical friends to add to the recordings and give
each song a modern twist and unique flavor. The Vault was completed just days
before Jeff s death and provides a passionate and soulful overview of one of
the music community s most beloved figures. The Vault has become an All Star Tribute
to the genius that was Jeff Golub. The
guests represent the very top echelon of the Smooth Jazz music community.
Included in the collection of unreleased music are such stars as: Dave Koz,
Mindi Abair, Kirk Whalum, Rick Braun, Philippe Saisse, Boney James, Brian
Culbertson, Jeff Lorber, Bill Evans, Gerald Albright, Peter White, Richard
Elliot and Steve Ferrone. ~Amazon
