Cory Weeds As of Now (2014)

On "Everything's Beautiful Now" Christine returns as a songwriter of depth and sensitivity. After experiencing the loss of over a dozen close friends and family members in the last few years, this collection of surprisingly hopeful and inspiring songs was born. "Everything's Beautiful Now" were some of the last words spoken to Christine by her mother-in-law in her final hours and the song is written in her voice. "My Heart's Prayer" - penned by South Dakota's Tom Peterson - is a message to those who have passed…"will you still know my face in that faraway place; will we meet over on the other shore." A simple and intimate arrangement of Warren Zevon's "Keep Me in Your Heart" is equally poignant as Zevon's message to his loved ones when he was close to the end.

A true triple-threat, Brenda Earle Stokes pivots seamlessly from vocalist to pianist to composer, as she leads a band of top notch New York jazz musicians. Right About Now features six of Brenda's original compositions, new lyrics to compositions by Village Vanguard lead alto saxophonist Dick Oatts and Brazilian legend Egberto Gismonti as well as unexpected takes on songs by Joe Jackson and Pete Townshend. Brenda s expressive vocals are framed by virtuosic piano chops and explore a range of genre-bending grooves rooted in modern jazz. Born and raised in Canada, Brenda resides in New York City where she performs as a leader and sideperson.

Returning to her musical roots- as a singer/songwriter with her very first self-produced indie album, "Greystone" - along with now her 2nd- "Healing Now"- Keri's music inspires and ignites with stirring, soulful original music about life, love & loss. Drawing from a diverse background, innate ear & musical ability, Keri's music is in a genre unique to its own, with an intimate & bared down sound featuring piano, keyboards, tambourine & tribal beats, with her unique voice, intricate harmonies and vocal phrasing as the focal point. Most closely falling into Acoustic Soul/Jazz/Pop genres,- while drawing from her classical/opera background, Keri's voice is at once soulful & strong- then shimmering & ethereal- like an "angel whispering in your ear."

Hailed by Down Beat magazine for his quick-witted harmonic reflexes, fluid command of line and cut-to-the-chase sense of narrative logic, Aaron Goldberg has made his name as one of jazz s most compelling pianists, both as a bandleader and frequent collaborator with Joshua Redman, Wynton Marsalis, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Guillermo Klein and many more. On his new release The Now, Goldberg reunites with bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer Eric Harland, the virtuoso rhythm team going all the way back to his 1998 debut Turning Point.

Record the best-selling album of 2009 "Seeing People" is (Fresh Sound New Talent FSNT346), I have caused a great response play in company of Kurt Rosenwinkel was guest conductor, among others.

The 14-song album will thematically tackle Guiliana as he leaps into the next stage of his life - starting a family. It will feature Stu Brooks on electric bass, Yuki Hirano on keyboards, Michael Severson on guitar, and vocals from Jeff Taylor and Gretchen Parlato, along with spoken word from Me'Shell NdegéOcello. The track captures the herky-jerky tone one has come to love and expect from the talented percussionist and will likely point to the same kind of vibe throughout the album.
