New releases

Featuring an all-star cast of some of the greatest acoustic musicians on the scene, this new release contains rare concert recordings!

• A jam session is at once a spontaneous musical conversation and an art form. It strengthens both artistic and personal bonds between players of a variety of musical styles around the world. Once in a while, improvisational exchanges between musicians in a jam escalate to a fever pitch: this recording, which captures nine such instances, represents the contributions of six natural jammers to the art of the jam.

• Features some of the best recorded improvised solos to date by O’Connor, Thile, Vignola, and Sutton.

• Press service by Shorefire Media.

• Radio promotion by Crossover Media.

• Promotion via Facebook, MySpace, and O’Connor’s personal website.

• Pre-release party scheduled for March 21 at Le Poisson Rouge in New York.

Reviving a once overlooked style and demonstrating its undiminished vitality, Live In New York documents this moment of arrival and departure: recorded impeccably, executed flawlessly, it completes the trilogy that had begun with Hot Swing! and In Full Swing.” — Robert L.

• His power, imagination, and versatility are fueled by his many collaborations with a stellar array of popular artists in the jazz, R&B, and pop arenas including Me’Shell N’degeocello, Dizzy Gillespie, Betty Carter, Erykah Badu, Jackie McLean, Ani DiFranco, Wynton Marsalis, and many more.

• Previous releases have collectively scanned over 5,000 units, and many are collectors items!

• Blue is a Grammy-nominated composer and pianist who has performed on records by Robert Ashley (Perfect Lives), John Cage, and Laurie Anderson, yet this is quite different. Composing for what is essentially a chamber rock ensemble, a cast of female vocalists, and himself (on the Polymoog and RMI synthesizers), Blue has created a song-cycle that reflects his intensely melodic and free piano technique in a polished studio record.

• Out of the Blue elegantly combines adventurous New Music technique, the style and appeal of pop music, and the grace of classical music to form an unclassifiable and totally revelatory whole. Endearing, exciting, familiar yet unlike anything else—this is a very friendly record!

“This amazing record … [is] from 1977, an eclectic pop/country/funk/sonic tone poem record that find[s] precisely zero company in any genre I can think of. ‘Next Time Might Be Your Time’ is a sweet, country-pop song that reminds me a little of the McGarrigle Sisters French folk-pop records from the mid-’70s (especially due to Patrice Manget’s vocals), but Tyranny’s array of synthesizers give it a feel that I can only describe as nostalgic-futuristic.”

• Breaking into the R&B Top 10 his very first time out—in 1956—with the startlingly intense slow blues “I Can’t Quit You Baby,” southpaw guitarist Otis Rush subsequently established himself as one of the premier bluesmen on the Chicago circuit.

• Rush has written scores of classic blues tunes: notably, “All Your Love” was the opening track on John Mayall’s 1966 Bluesbreakers with a pre-Cream Eric Clapton on guitar and “I Can’t Quit You, Baby” is a blasting centerpiece on Led Zeppelin’s debut album.

• Review/promo copies sent to relevant media such as magazines, websites, and radio stations.

• Final track, “Jam,” features Dave Brubeck on piano.

• Universally hailed as the reigning king of the blues, a titanic figure in popular music, and a legend in his own time, B.B. King is without doubt the most influential electric blues guitar player of our time, having had a formidable impact on the development of both modern blues and rock & roll music. Yet he remains a modest and quite accessible superstar, whose self-effacing, gracious demeanor is as much a trademark as his unique guitar licks.

• Over the last half-century he’s been an ambassador for the blues, his life marked by a sense of mission coupled with a desire to give the blues status and acceptability. This he has achieved, bringing the blues into the mainstream of entertainment and becoming a legend in his own time.

Air Mail Music The Drums of Tokyo In Japan, no festival is complete without the deep sound of the taiko (or daiko) drums. Pioneering musician Seido Kobayashi was the first to form an all-taiko ensemble, Oedo Sukeroku Taiko. The spectator is taken into an exciting and fascinating world that can be dynamic or poetic, violent or subtle, martial or playful. Onstage, Oedo Sukeroku Taiko recreates the atmosphere of such celebrations, with the excitement of the processions bearing the mikoshi (portable shrine) through the streets of the city, and with meditative pieces in tribute to the awakening of nature, with the blossoming of the plum trees at the end of winter.

Famed the world over for their ancient customs, Papuans, who are close to nature, are descended from the earliest human inhabitants of that part of the world. This CD is particularly precious since Papuan music is so little known and rarely heard. These recordings show perfect respect in every way for the authenticity of these pieces, which take us traveling through time and space.

Air Mail Music Sea Shanties: Leave Her Johnny This album includes traditional shanties from the early days of navigation around the New Zealand coasts. Shanties were divided into halyard shanties (hauling songs), windlass or capstan songs used for heaving the anchor, and pump songs, used for pumping the ship out. On this recording we have tried to bring together as many types of sea shanty as possible, as well as sailors’ hornpipes. The songs range from the famous “Drunken Sailor” to “Orpheus,” relating the tragic loss of HMS Orpheus on the west coast of North Island. They are sung by members of the New Zealand sail training ship “Spirit of Adventure.”

Track Listing: Leave Her Johnny • South Australia • Orpheus • 10000 Miles Away • Nick Young • Trumpet Hornpipe • Donkey Riding • Across The Line • Philomena D • Drunken Sailor • Captain Matheson • Talcajuano Girls • Liverpool Joddles • Auckland To The Bluff • Tom’s Gone To Hilo • Dead Horse Shanty • Hornpiples • Shore Whalers

This program, from an island famed for its spices, includes polyphonic vocal pieces and the sounds of stringed instruments, Indian percussion, and vibrant rhythms. The musicians use ancient Arab instruments such as the qanun (a zither with a trapezoidal soundboard), the ud (lute), and the nay (an end-blown flute), as well as violins, cellos, double basses, guitar, accordion, harmonium, and percussion instruments such as the dumbek (hand drum), rika (tambourine), and bongos.

New Releases

Ernst Reijseger and Groove Lélé successfully bring together two different musical universes and take us on a journey from the Netherlands to Réunion Island!

• The group Groove Lélé was founded by the children of Granmoun Lélé (a.k.a. “Pépé Dynamite”), musical icon of “Maloya.”

Musicologists have described his music as a mixture of traditional music from Zanzibar, Mozambique, Somalia, Madagascar, and the Congo or Cameroon—a style that consists essentially of the human voice and percussion. As the music of the slave riots and the slaves’ descendants, Maloya was for a long time played secretly and connected with the fighters for independence.

• Granmoun Lélé composed over 200 songs, which tell about daily life. He passed away in 2004 at the age of 74. Among the 12 musicians of his group, seven were his children—and they decided to carry on under the group name Groove Lélé. On October 1, 2009 Maloya became part of UNESCO’s world heritage list.

• Willy Phileas and Ernst Reijseger met for the first time for an artistic collaboration. Reijseger, an acclaimed cellist open to all musical styles, teams up here with Groove Lélé and invites longtime partners Alan “Gunga” Purves and Mola Sylla to join him. Together they present a unique program performed during this year’s Musiques de Nuit Festival summer in Bordeaux, France.

• The album name, Zembrocal Musical, alludes to one of Réunion’s famous dishes, whose eclectic combination of ingredients lends its name to this tasteful “mash-up.”
