NEW RELEASES: WOUTER KELLERMAN - LOVE LANGUAGE; SARAH PARTRIDGE - I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE HERE; THE SOULJAZZ ORCHESTRA - RESISTANCE

WOUTER KELLERMAN - LOVE LANGUAGE

Grammy® Award Winning South African flutist and composer, Wouter Kellerman, just debuted at #1 on the Billboard World Music Chart with his newly released album titled  Love Language. Love Language is the 4th release from Kellerman, and draws influence from Senegal and Spain, Cuba and India, Greece and the United States.  The album encapsulates the myriad ways that people connect on the topics of life and love — and the countless languages with which people speak of the universal connection that binds them one to another. "The theme of being loving joins us all together," says Kellerman, "and music bridges all cultural gaps, becoming a universal language that communicates across seemingly insurmountable barriers." 

SARAH PARTRIDGE - I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE HERE

Acclaimed jazz vocalist, Sarah Partridge, who has been a critic's favorite for well over a decade, has just released her latest album of original compositions titled "I Never Thought I'd Be Here". Recorded in her home state of New Jersey, the music, which was written by Partridge, after a series of life events, both good and bad. "After the death of my father, my need to express emotion through music extended to writing. For the past 3 years, I have been creating words and music that express the fabric of my life, my thoughts and emotions that everyone experiences but can't always articulate. This album taps into those feelings for me and hopefully for the listener," said Partridge.The new album is the fifth album from Partridge, who is promoting the release of the album with a string of live performances.

THE SOULJAZZ ORCHESTRA - RESISTANCE

Hard to resist the groove of a group this great – one of the longer-running Afro Funk combos around, and one of the best too! The group definitely have a touch of the soulful jazz promised by their name – thanks to strong solos on alto, tenor, and baritone – which often break out from the tight, rhythmic frenzy of percussion, drums, and keyboards! Most cuts have vocals, but the instrumental energy of the group is what really wins us – sharper than ever as the group keeps growing! Titles include "Shock & Awe", "Greet The Dawn", "Ware Wa", "Kossa Kossa", "Soleil Couchant", and "Bull's Eye". (Includes the full album on CD.)  ~ Dusty Groove
