CANDY DULFER – TOGETHER
Dutch saxophone player Candy Dulfer again stretches her
musical borders with the release of 'Together', her first new solo album in six
years. 'Together' sees Candy return to her Funk roots, while the uplifting
album is also a melting pot of diverse influences culled from Jazz, Disco,
Soul, Dance, and R&B as well as her own interpretation of what's going on
in modern Pop music. She created a personal mix, connected to the
characteristic sound she is known for worldwide. 'Together' stands for
connection; the one she feels with her music but also the unity that needed in
the world of today. On this album she also responds for the first time on the passing
away of Prince, in a way that she thinks suits best, through music with a
special tribute to the musical genius that put her on the map back in 1989 with
the famous words "When I want sax, I call Candy". All in all, her
fourteenth album is a new chapter in the long running career of the versatile
saxophonist and one that will be promoted with live shows throughout Europe,
Japan, Mexico and the US.
MARC ANTOINE – LAGUNA BEACH
After 12 years living in Madrid, Spain, Parisian born
acoustic guitarist Marc Antoine celebrates his return to Southern California
with his highly anticipated Woodward Avenue Records debut Laguna Beach. Keeping
his trademark 'classical soul' vibe front and center, he artfully balances
crisp sonic production edges with balmy, breezy light funk melodies (as on the
infectious title track, also the lead single), brassy energy, cool samba
excursions and sensual romance. Produced by Antoine, Laguna Beach features
guest spots by keyboardist Philippe Saisse, guitarist and labelmate Paul Brown
(who also mixed the project), harmonica master Tim Welvaars and trumpet great
Rick Braun.
