JACOB SHULMAN - UNTIL AUTUMN
Today
composer, saxophonist and student Jacob Shulman announced the upcoming release
of his first jazz 4 track EP entitled "Until Autumn". With
"Until Autumn" Shulman explores the everyday soundtrack of his
young-adult life and mixes the divergent styles of American jazz with Japanese
video game soundtracks, English rock, Balkan folk, and German classical.
"My aim was to construct an environment uniformly compatible with the
musical languages I am most enamored of. For the first time, I haven't needed
to discard some for others. I have finally balanced each naturally, and have
the seeds of a musical identity all sown in one field." Shulman, a
Princeton student, jazz festival veteran and alum of the prestigious Thelonius
Monk Institute of Jazz, recorded "Until Autumn" in the summer of
2014. "The title refers to how this music came about, it was written,
rehearsed, performed, and recorded between my second and third years of
college. Structure is
key for Shulman and "Until Autumn" was designed with details
connecting each of the four tracks. "They all have motifs and gestures in
three categories – for each track, there is material that is unique to it,
material that originates in it but appears elsewhere, and material that comes
from another track but is reused or transformed." While
structurally complex, "Until Autumn" is meant to be enjoyable and
relatable, not challenging or abstruse. Musicians:
Jacob Shulman: composition, saxophone; Greg Swiller: acoustic bass; Harry
Terrell: drums; Isaac Wilson: piano, Rhodes.
JOAN CHAMORRO & ANDREA MOTIS - FEELING GOOD
Spanish jazz singer Andrea Motis, as well as fellow instrumentalist and mentor, Joan Chamorro are an unlikely musical team. Born more than 30 years apart, they hail from two very different and distinct musical generations. And yet they are the two primary figures in a series of projects in their hometown of Barcelona since 2010. In less than five years, Motis and Chamorro have set their city and other parts of Europe ablaze with the energetic sounds of jazz from either side of the Atlantic. Tracks include: Feeling Good, Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea, How Insensitive, Lover Come Back To Me, Moon River, Love Me Or Leave Me, Lover Man, Solitude, Hallelujah, Easy Living, My Funny Valentine, Bésame Mucho, Sophisticated Lady, Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You, Lover Man, and Lullaby Of Birdland.

Acclaimed nylon string guitarist David Correa launches a
dynamic new chapter in his multi-faceted career with New Moon, his long awaited
new release that celebrates his passion for the region he returns to every
summer to play festivals and concert halls.
Correa, who’s explosive global fusion of Latin folk, rumba flamenco,
French gypsy and Middle Eastern textures has made him a staple of the Bay Area
music scene since 1999. More than simply
a fresh collection of 12 infectiously melodic, rhythmically empowering
compositions performed with some of the most accomplished Latin musicians in
the Bay Area and Southern California, New Moon, true to its title, represents a
new beginning, a new life and fresh musical blood flowing through Correa’s
colorful arrangements. Tracks include: Hacienda, New Moon, Milagro, Diamondback,
Painted Desert, Sandstorm, Pico de Gallo, Saguaro Grove, Paseo del Pueblo,
Sedona, Tierra Roja, and Veracruzana.
