Ken
Greve’s third recording,“Night People” embodies the language of love in an
American Songbook style of performance that personifies the journey of the
high’s and low’s of finding joy on the other side of disappointment.
“Ken
Greves has been a friend to The Jazz Network Worldwide for years and has shared
his last two recordings with us. We are excited to jump on his bandwagon once
again featuring his latest recording of “Night People”. The high caliber
camaraderie of musicianship was beautifully executed on these timeless
classics. Musical director Frank Ponzio on piano, Peter Donovan on bass and
drummer Vito Lesczak are a cohesive force, giving Ken the perfect backdrop to
sit comfortably in the artistic seat of driving the deep reflection of the
aspects of love and all its sides” says Jaijai Jackson of The Jazz Network
Worldwide.
“Night
People is an homage to my early youthful days, when I haunted and habituated
the night scenes and nightscapes searching for the unnamable thing or
experience. This divine restlessness was always seeking newness, satisfaction,
release, and ultimately peace.” says Greves.
For
Ken, the lyrics are the jewel for which the music provides the beautiful
setting. This is not to say that sheer musicality does not play a major part in
this music. Ken’s approach in both the arrangements and the manner in which he
blends his superb vocal artistry with his musicians is of the highest order,
fully conceived within the concept of synergy that is essential to the greatest
tradition of jazz. – Marty Khan, OutVisions “Night People”
“The
performance of the ensemble is first rate, responsive in every way and, if
anything even more remarkable is the work of the vocalist, Ken Greves,
displaying an exceptional expressive range of tone and dynamic.” ~ Raul da Gama
“Night People”
To
compliment the release of “Night People”, Ken launches a brand new website that
encompasses his musical journey as well as the different business and
entertainment services he offers the marketplace. He is an avid supporter of
those in the industry and has made his expertise available to those artists
that are looking for defined systems and structures for their careers both
financially and production-wise.
In
addition, he is seeking non-exclusive worldwide agents for representation,
Greves is looking to tour globally in venues that present the American Songbook
style performances.
On
Monday, July 2nd, 2015 Ken will be hosting a CD release party presenting “Night
People” to his friends and fans at Cafe Noctambulo in New York City undoubtably
to a full house!
