  6. Thanks for your views! I got a new prescription from an optometrist. Her connected optician had nothing whose price was near what my insurance offered. I asked the optician if she knew anything about the online sellers, and she quickly suggested that I avoid Zenni. I get paid the end of this week, so I'll plan to place my order then.

  11. New York Voices Celebrate 30 Years of Singing Together With "Reminiscing in Tempo," Set for Release August 16 by Origin Records Anniversary Album Features Originals, Works by Iconic Jazz Composers, Pop and Classical Selections, With a Vocal Quartet Lineup Unchanged Since 1994 July 25, 2019 Thirty years after they began, the members of the vocal jazz quartet New York Voices remain undimmed in their commitment to making music together -- a commitment they celebrate with Reminiscing in Tempo, set for an August 16 release on Origin Records. Produced by Elliot Scheiner, the album reaffirms NYV's position in the elite of vocal jazz with an ambitious program of originals, standards, rediscovered jazz gems, tunes by Ivan Lins and the Beatles, and two pieces by 19th-century Cuban classical composer Ignacio Cervantes. Reminiscing in Tempo features New York Voices' long-lived lineup, with alto Lauren Kinhan, who joined the band in 1992, alongside original members Peter Eldridge (baritone), Darmon Meader (tenor), and Kim Nazarian (soprano). (Originally a quintet, NYV solidified as a four-piece with the departure of Caprice Fox in 1994.) "We're just a big family at this point," Meader says. Meader is the band's musical director and primary arranger, but all four of the Voices contribute arrangements, ideas, and compositions. "We really try to make sure that the four of us, as a four-headed artist and individually, get as much creative expression as you can garner from the ensemble," says Kinhan. While the stunning, virtuosic "Round, Round, Round (Blue Rondo à la Turk)" mostly comprises Meader's arrangement of Dave Brubeck's classic (with Al Jarreau's lyrics), Kinhan wrote its central vocalese section based on sections of Brubeck and Paul Desmond's original 1959 solos. Meader and Eldridge cowrote the arrangement of Fred Hersch's "A Dance for Me," while Nazarian suggested (and contributed ideas for) the Duke Ellington title track, which features lyrics by Mel Tormé. NYV also perform two original compositions, with Meader penning "Moments in a Mirror" and Kinhan and Eldridge joining forces for "The Forecast Is Sunny." The album also honors the band's inspirations outside of jazz. The Beatles get the NYV treatment with the a cappella closer "In My Life"; their friend and sometime muse, Brazilian singer-songwriter Ivan Lins, is honored with "Answered Prayers (É De Deus)," with a beautiful English lyric by Eldridge. In addition, they enter new territory with their explorations of Cervantes' syncopated classical works "Los Tres Golpes" and "Invitación." "There are still some firsts on this record for New York Voices," Nazarian enthuses, "and after 31 years, I think that's pretty amazing!" Peter Eldridge, Lauren Kinhan, Darmon Meader, Kim Nazarian. New York Voices began in the mid-1980s at Ithaca College, when Peter Eldridge, Kim Nazarian, and Darmon Meader came together in the school's vocal jazz ensemble. Director Dave Riley included all three of them, as well as Caprice Fox, in an ensemble he'd been invited to bring on a tour of European jazz festivals. It went over so well that they decided to stay together and become a professional ensemble, moving to New York City in 1988. There they met Sara Krieger, who became the fifth member of the band Riley had named "New York Voices." Krieger left the band in 1991, to be replaced by Lauren Kinhan. After two more years as a quintet, Fox moved on to other things in 1994, leaving the band in the quartet formation in which it would continue. With the dawn of the 21st century, NYV increased its currency in the jazz world via collaborations with institutions such as the Count Basie Orchestra, Paquito D'Rivera, and the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band. They also launched a jazz education initiative, inaugurating its Vocal Jazz Camp for aspiring jazz singers in 2008. With Reminiscing in Tempo -- their first non-holiday album under their own power in over a decade -- New York Voices show their energy and inspiration to be unfaded, and their chops and taste only improved in their longevity. "It's four grown-up people who are content in themselves," says Eldridge. "It's somewhere between a fine wine and an old married couple." New York Voices will be performing in the coming months at the following venues: 8/3 Dalton Center Recital Hall/WMU, Kalamazoo, Mi; 8/14 Hollywood Bowl (with Ivan Lins), Los Angeles; 8/15 MIM, Phoenix, AZ; 8/17 St. Peter Armenian Apostolic Church, Watervliet, NY; 8/30MODEON, Marktoberdorf, Germany; 9/14 The Great Hall, Needham, MA; 11/8-9 Cuesta Vocal Jazz Festival, San Luis Obispo, CA; 11/10 Yoshi's, Oakland; 11/12-13 Jazz Alley, Seattle; 11/17William Paterson U., Wayne, NJ; 12/1 Riviera Maya Jazz Festival, Playa del Carmen, Mexico;12/5 Arizona Musicfest, Scottsdale, AZ; 12/6 The Sheen Center, NYC; 12/13-15 Centennial Concert Hall, Winnipeg, MB, Canada.

    Artist Title Time Spaga Creed 04:37 Spaga Marionette In The Snow 08:47 Spaga Colors 06:49 Spaga Four Angels 07:06 Spaga Resurrection 08:03 Spaga Nils Shapes 03:55 Spaga "Spaga" Impacting: August 2 2019 Format(s): Jazz When the clock hit 40, Disco Biscuits’ keyboardist and founding member Aron Magner decided it was time to get back to his roots. This was the time when you’re supposed to be taking stock of your accomplishments — in his case, a successful career as a touring musician who, among other things, had a measurable impact on the jam band and “jamtronica” genres. With the Disco Biscuits, Magner’s incredible journey is still mid-flight and he’s been a vanguard of live, improvisational, electronic rock music. But this journey ultimately started with just a piano. Magner’s instruments and approach in the Disco Biscuits is something special indeed and a cornerstone of the band’s overall sound and style. But his friends and those close to him have always known a secret — he is a tour de force on the grand piano as well. For years, they’ve encouraged him to explore that side of his artistry in a non-Disco Biscuits project, but either the timing or the project was never quite right. Until now. SPAGA is something entirely new and different from Aron Magner — a throwback to his jazz roots, in the form of a mostly acoustic trio that augments his grand piano skills with the organic immediacy and interplay of upright bass and drums. “I was having fun exploring songs with no preconceptions of what the music actually was yet or for that matter who we were as a trio, and that provided for unexpected and welcoming results,” says Magner. By going back to his origins, it was important for him to keep the project, and all involved with it, a reflection of the idea of “roots.” He chose local musicians, a local studio, and brought in people from his friend and family circle as well as new friends in his local area. First up, he enlisted upright bassist Jason Fratecelli who, in turn, enlisted drummer Matt Scarano. Like everything else with this project, the genesis was simply organic. SPAGA allows Magner looks to a new frontier of live music presentation: unique venues and curated spaces in which the surroundings become a reflection of the experience, highlighting the organic nature and intimate vibe of this music. SPAGA is more than just improvisations on a collection of instrumental songs; it’s an unsung story told through music and experience. Over the past 20 years Aron Magner made a name for himself in the live music space, primarily as a founding member of seminal jam-rock band The Disco Biscuits, and as an integral part of additional groups that have each attained national recognition and reverence. These include Conspirator, an electronic deep-dive, to Billy & the Kids, an official Grateful Dead offshoot led by the Dead’s Bill Kreutzmann. Magner is a repeat headliner at some of the country’s most prestigious stages and festivals and will continue to intrigue and draw audiences with his new and ever unfolding musical adventure.

  17. Patrick Barnitt "Sway" Impacting: July 17 2019 Format(s): Jazz SWAY, the second album by Los Angeles vocalist and actor PATRICK BARNITT, is a project comprising swing, pop, and blues tunes. The record features a brand new original tune; a foot stomping blues shuffle, ACL Blues, co-written with Paul McDonald. Barnitt has a warm, intimate voice, somewhat in the tradition of the Great American Songbook crooners but with a more contemporary edge. The vocals were recorded at Capitol Studios and the record was co-produced by multi-instrumentalist, Stephan Oberhoff. The album features some notable guest artists; Grammy nominated saxophonist/Everette Harp, Brazilian drummer/Celso Alberti, world reknowned trumpeter/Bijon Watson and vocalist/Laura Pursell. Barnitt is a mainstay on the L.A. jazz scene. He performs regularly at the Dresden, a quintessential Hollywood nightclub. He also gigs regularly with drumming legend Frank Devito, a member of the famous The Wrecking Crew. Barnitt is accompanied by The Paul McDonald Big Band, a 17-piece band that features some of the top West Coast players and performs regularly around Southern California and Las Vegas to sold-out audiences. Barnitt’s musical tastes are wide-ranging. His classic baritone voice, top-notch musicianship, and big band arrangements create a thematic whole that is by turns swinging and romantic. "Sometimes you just need a cat that knows how to croon and Barnitt repeatedly shows that he knows how to get the job done soon...he offers up a set that gives the masters their due while staying his own man. The perfect match for Martini time." - Midwest Record by Chris Spector "A more swinging version of Jack Jones with a touch of Harry Connick, Jr. in it. A fine album with good singing and a solid big band backing. Some of these tracks will stay in your mind after the album is finished playing." - The Art Music Lounge by Lynn Rene Bayley "What the eclectic group of songs has in common is Barnitt's superior phrasing and classic crooner touches..." - Lemonwire by Dodie Miller-Gould www.patrickbarnitt.com Artist Title Time Patrick Barnitt The More I See You 03:54 Patrick Barnitt Please Be Kind 02:31 Patrick Barnitt Sway 02:48 Patrick Barnitt I've Got You Under My Skin 03:53 Patrick Barnitt ACL Blues 02:34 Patrick Barnitt Cascade (feat.

  21. Claude Hall "August Afternoon" Impacting: June 20 2019 Format(s): Jazz Originally from NY, Claude Hall lived in Paris for 17 years where she developed her love for jazz. From there, she’s performed internationally, holding sold out residencies in St. Barths and Los Angeles, where she now lives. As an award-winning songstress, her performances evoke the cabaret divas of days gone by. Influenced by jazz greats Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, and Eartha Kitt, her interpretations of the standards invite her audience to enjoy them with renewed interest. In her debut EP, Claude Hall also debuts as a songwriter. Reminiscent of Fats Waller, her self-penned title track, August Afternoon, reveals her capacity to paint vivid imagery, drawing the listener into her world as she does in her live shows. Reviews: “When Hall sings she displays the elegance of Lena Horne, the crisp enunciation of Eartha Kitt, and a breathy, sensual quality all her own that adds power and oomph to her performance.” - Elliot Zwiebach for Cabaret Scenes “Hall presents her live music like an actress reciting a jazz monologue on Broadway. She often enhances her contralto range with a tantalizing brand of jazz phrasing.” - Miguel Costa for Music Connection Magazine Video: Days of Wine and Roses Contact: Claude Hall claudehall@mac.com Attachments Project Cr..
