ART SHERROD JR. - INTERVENTION
When you take a smooth jazz approach to some of gospel
music’s greatest songs you get saxman Art Sherrod Jr.’s newest CD project

R&B and funk. Intervention will keep you immersed from the first to the
last song. With one listen, it is clear to see that Art Sherrod Jr’s passion is
to connect to the heart of diverse audiences with an intervention of love.

Since forming in early 2013, Liquid Monk's infectious fusion of funk, soil, electronic and jazz has been spreading throughout the southeast Michigan. High energy live performances led by a wide array of instrumentation including synthesizers, electronic soundscapes, Rhodes piano, hand percussion, vocoder and Hammond organ, has captivated audiences and kept them on their toes. With over fifteen years of performing alongside each other
in various projects, Liquid Monk’s members have deep musical and social bonds
that shine each time they come on stage. With roots in jazz and funk, each
member is highly technical on their respective instrument, however, songwriting
and connection with the listener is always at the forefront of the band’s
compositions and live performances. Their debut single, Man On Fire, which Sound and Silence
described as “Chic meets Umphrey’s meets early Daft Punk on steroids”, was released
in early 2015. It set the tone for the band’s unique blend of fiery jazz
fusion, lush synthesizer soundscapes, pounding live electronica and heavy
grooving funk. The single was followed up by their genre bending debut EP,
Yaga, in the fall of 2015.
3RD FORCE - GLOBAL FORCE
The new 3rd Force album, Global Force, is the long awaited
follow up to their previous four hit albums whose titles all incorporated the
“force” concept. Multi-instrumentalists & sonic architects William Aura and
Craig Dobbin are the duo and foundation of the 3rd Force sound with special
guests Lawson Rollins (flamenco guitar), Brian Hughes (electric guitar),
Multi-instrumentalist Alain Eskinasi, accordionist Brian Mann, harpist Peter
Sterling, saxman Derrick Edmonson and the hugely popular Nepali trio Kutumba.
They all come together to create a dynamic, explosive fusion of
genre-transcending songs and global consciousness. Tracks: Big Shot; Breakout; Carry
On; Compassion Passion; Day Into Night; Follow Me Home; Out Of The Storm;
Shadow Of Love; You Are The One; and We’ll Be Together. ~ newreleasesnow.com
