STEVE SALUTO
– THE POWER OF 6 FLOWERS
Italian
guitarplayer, singer and songwriter Steve Saluto is releasing "The Power
of 6 Flowers" on Monday, June 6, 2016. Written, performed, recorded and produced
by Steve himself "The Power Of 6 Flowers" is an album that transcends
genres; It's a journey of 6 songs through happy and sad and intimate moments of
life… as Steve said "The 6 songs are pictures of moments; Life is Love and
Loss. Period... But, you know, it ain't over till it's over so never give up
... "... As a result, "The Power Of 6 Flowers" is a remarkably
diverse album that pushes boundaries on Saluto's evolution as an artist and it
has much to offer to the listeners. Whether it's slick beats, guitar slinging
or vivid storytelling, Saluto's 15th effort launches the artist into new
territories showing exactly why it's absolutely necessary to keep a watchful
eye on him. Tracks include: Get Out; Words; Crucify The Visionary; Don’t Touch
Me; The Coldness The Distance; and It Ain’t Me.
MIKE
DILORENZO – SOUL TO SOUL
Soul To Soul,
the new CD release by Mike DiLorenzo morphs live latin, jazz and electronic
elements on 7 original compositions as well as contemporary reinterpretations
from jazz classics to current EDM. As a NY based musician, Mike has had the
opportunity to perform on piano, organ and synthesizers with a wide range of
artists with styles ranging from R&B to Latin and Jazz. Soul To Soul
captures all 3 elements with 7 original compositions from organ swing jazz to
samba as well as modern twists of some contemporary jazz classics such as a
latin version of Friday Night at the Cadillac Club, a modern tribute to the
Ramsey Lewis/EW&F classic Sun Goddess and a different spin on a Weather
Report /Jaco Pastorius classic. The jazz standard Cherokee and the EDM hit
Latch as recoded by Disclosure and Sam Smith are also represented in a new
light.
AKIRA SAKATA
- THE TALE OF THE HEIKE
Mindblowing
sounds from legendary reedman Akira Sakata – working here in a setting that's
mostly solo, but which also includes some group material from a DVD of the
performance too! The core tracks have Sakata blowing amazingly on alto,
clarinet, and bass clarinet – these long, thoughtful solos that really mark his
contribution to improvised music over the years – almost poetic, even though they're
very freewheeling – and marked at points by these raspy, rumbling vocal
recitations by Akira – with a tone that's almost as mezmerizing and unique as
his work on reed instruments! Solo titles include "Gion Shoja",
"The Death Of Kiso", "The Matter Of The Six Paths",
"The Assault From The Cliff", "The Death Of Atsumori", and
"Battle Of Dan No Ura". Then, the set also includes some group
numbers, recorded live – with Jim O'Rourke on guitar, Tatsuhisha Yamamoto on
drums and percussion, Chizuru Ishii on percussion and taiko, and Yumiko Tanaka
on shamisen – on titles that include "See Chanty Of Ondo", "The
Chapter Of The Battle", and "The Death Of Kiso". ~ Dusty Groove
