MATT
PANAYIDES – CONDUITS
‘Conduits”
is guitarist Matt Panayides second album as a leader. The album was recorded live at Bunker Studios
in June of 2013 with saxophonist Rich Perry, bassist Thompson Kneeland and
drummer Mark Ferber. The album was
funded through the successful completion of a Kickstarter campaign. The album features original compositions by
Matt Panayides who has been busy leading groups both in New York and around the
world for the past 15 years. The
compositions seek to demonstrate the freedom and present-ness that can be found
in deep musical structures. The music
also reflects the underlying order that can be found in even the most complex
appearing natural objects. The musicians
are given space to let their individuality shine through while also playing
energetically with a sympathetic group, dynamically navigating intricate
passages with a relaxed, fluid feel.
Great sounding album featuring top NYC musicians.

CHARLIE
DENNARD – 5 O’CLOCK CHARLIE
New
Orleans based keyboardist Charlie Dennard announces the latest release of his
superb jazz organ trio, 5 O’Clock Charlie. On this recording, Dennard showcases
seven original compositions and three cover tunes that capture the simple,
organic quality of musicians playing together in the moment. In the late
1990’s, Charlie had a standing gig at New Orleans’ famous Funky Butt with his
band, then called 5 O’Clock Charlie. Dennard is a master of the Hammond B3,
utilizing every nuance of its texture, tone, depth and feel, walking the bass
to support the trio’s rhythm, and driving the melodies home with enthusiasm and
heart. This project marks a return to his roots, just as Charlie has returned
to New Orleans after touring the world for the past decade. The recording is
groove-based, funky and fun.
