BETTY BUCKLEY – STORY SONGS
For her Story Songs concerts as well as this CD, Buckley was
joined by renowned multi-Grammy nominated jazz pianist Christian Jacob, her
longtime musical director and arranger. A celebrated interpreter with an
eclectic taste for music from all genres, Buckley shares a collection of songs
that range from Radiohead to theater greats Stephen Schwartz and Jason Robert
Brown. Also included are works by the next generation of exciting young theater
composers, such as Joe Iconis. Buckley has been hailed as “wonderful” by the
New York Times, “stellar” by Rolling Stone, “mesmerizing” by the Los Angeles
Times, and “excellent” by London Express, in addition to other raves. Features
20 tracks and includes: Cassandra; High And Dry; How Long Has This Been Going
On; Old Flame; and Bird On A Wire.
KEVIN EUBANKS – EAST WEST TIME LINE
Since his 18-year tenure as guitarist and music director of
TV’s The Tonight Show Band ended in 2010, Philadelphia-born guitarist, composer
Kevin Eubanks has been on a creative roll. On East West Time Line, Eubanks
explores the chemistry he maintains with musicians on both coasts. His
distinctive fingerstyle approach to the instrument is in the service of tunes
that run the stylistic gamut from urgent swingers to introspective ballads to
Latin-tinged numbers and some get-down Philly funk. “We combined both vibes on this
recording - the kind of Latin vibe of Los Angeles and the straight-up swinging
vibe of New York.” Tracks include: Watercolors; Poet; Carnival; Something About
Nothing; Take The Coltrane; Captain Señor Mouse; Cubano Chant; What’s Going On;
and My One And Only Love.
MONICA DA SILVA – SOLDADO DE AMOR (SOLDIER OF LOVE)
"Soldado de Amor", which da Silva co-wrote with
her brother Bruce Driscoll (Freedom Fry, Blondfire), was produced by Bruce
Driscoll, along with longtime collaborator Chad Alger (Complicated Animals).
The track was inspired by the vintage “marchinhas” (marches) and popular samba
songs of Brazilian Carnival, and features the haunting vocals that da Silva is
known for. Soldado de Amor is set to for release on March 31st, 2017. The song
is now being featured on the BBC Drama “The Replacement”, and will soon be
included on da Silva’s new album, a follow up to her debut album
“Brasilissima”. Da Silva’s music has been featured on The World Cup, TED, Ibiza
Beats, and Putumayo World Music’s “Brazilian Beat”. She also writes and releases music with
guitarist and producer Chad Alger, as the Indie duo Complicated Animals. Credits:
