mjzee Posted April 29 Author Report Posted April 29 Release date June 20: Since the time vibraphone was invented in 1921 (could be 1916) there has been an impressive and growing list of exceptional practitioners of this mallet instrument. And one of them is Tony Miceli whom Victor Schermer of All About Jazz describes as, "a vibraphonist of astonishing virtuosity, musical resilience, and inventiveness. His vibes playing is nothing short of phenomenal." Miceli performs and gives masterclasses in the US and abroad. This is Tony Miceli's leader debut album on SteepleChase. Quote

mjzee Posted Tuesday at 02:16 AM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 02:16 AM Release date August 15: Acclaimed guitarist Craig Brann joins forces with tenor saxophone virtuoso Greg Tardy for an electrifying new release on SteepleChase. This album showcases Brann's signature melodic storytelling and Tardy's expressive phrasing, creating a dynamic interplay between guitar and saxophone that is both adventurous and deeply rooted in jazz tradition."As a guitarist, Brann continually reshapes his sound... When a musician has the capacity to do just about anything, the choices he makes are critical. Here, Brann and his quintet never put a foot wrong." (Mark Corroto - All About Jazz on SCCD 31847 Lineage) Quote
