ERIC DARIUS – BREAKIN’
THRU
One of the most
exciting recording artists and live performers that has ever crossed the
threshold of Smooth Jazz, saxophonist Eric Darius breaks new ground by starting
his own label (SagiDarius Music) for the release of his upcoming album Breakin' Thru. The recently released first single, the Top 10, title track, “Breakin’
Thru,” featured his trademark high energy funk from start to finish, whereas
his new single, “Dare 2 Dream” is more of an anthem that builds steadily using
contemporary production influences that will motivate you to be your best self.
Simmering and soaring sax are held down with hypnotic beats, and a killer
melody and groove. The song promises to capture your imagination like dreams
often do – taking hold and not letting go. Turn it up, and “Dare 2 Dream”! ~ smoothjazz.com
BRIAN COURTNEY WILSON - A GREAT WORK
GRAMMY-nominated
singer/songwriter Brian Courtney Wilson presents his most vulnerable, yet
confident album to date ‘A Great Work.’ The compelling 10-track album makes a
timely statement, responding to personal pain, community challenges and
national tensions with the hopefulness that God is still doing a great work. Written
almost entirely by Wilson, with additional songs from world-class contributors
including Marvin Winans, V. Michael McKay, and Eric Dawkins, ‘A Great Work’
features production by GRAMMY-winning producers Aaron Lindsey, Luther ‘Mano’
Hanes, Shaun Martin, and Warryn Campbell. Highlights on the album include the
lead single and title track, ‘A Great Work,’ the rousing ‘Increase My Faith,’
the heartfelt ‘Our Father Is Kind,’ and ‘Won’t Let Go,’ a retro-themed
declaration of faith.
ROBB SCOTT - SIREN
Robb Scott is a
musician, singer, songwriter, composer and producer. Born in Fulham, London and
with a music career that spans over three decades. He has recorded and released
music both as a solo artist, in various bands and as a composer for film,
promos and commercials. He has composed music scores for films; Lapse, The Old
Man and the Hairdresser, and various promos for Afterglow, The London School of
Fashion and Zaggora. His solo projects have included work with Ellen McIlwaine,
Jill Jones, Roy Ayers Band and Sandra St. Victor. Robb was inspired by the
Californian Soul music that had been so prevalent in his childhood and
adolescence. Music by artists like Earth Wind and Fire, Patrice Rushen, Roy
Ayers, Rufus and Chaka Khan, Donald Byrd and Doug Carn. Subconsciously, he was
trying to capture a sound that conjured up imagery of vast landscapes, oceans,
sunsets and horizons. The album has a lot of Jazz, Soul and Latin influences,
time signature and tempo changes that segue into other things, lush horn and
string arrangements and an entirely live rhythm section played by some
incredible musicians. Gone are the drum programs and the broken beats, and here
we give rise to live drums, upright basses, live strings and percussion in a
much looser, much more organic, soulful excursion. Featured artists included in
this project are: Sandra St Victor, Julia and Maxine Waters, Marlo Henderson,
Donald Nicks, Elisabeth Troy, Juliet Roberts, Sylvia Mason James, Gina Foster,
and Austin Howard.
