Walter Leibrecht

When it comes to defining the ever-evolving musical artistry of renowned vocalist JD Walter, love is most beautifully expressed when it comes Dressed in a Song. Perfectly reflecting the multi-talented vocalist, eclectic recording artist and well-traveled performer’s career long credo that “being a musician is being a verb, an ever-changing force,” the singer’s new album is a unique session pairing his versatile lead voice on a collection of standards and originals with six of jazz’s most inventive pianists and improvisers. Testament to Walter’s ongoing dedication to his craft, the collection also represents a powerful comeback for the singer, his first release since recovering from a life-threatening heart condition and surgeries on his heart and vocal cords. Dressed in a Song will be available worldwide on February 7th, 2020.

A clumsy daydreamer gets caught up in a sinister conspiracy.

Cy Walter (September 16, 1915 – August 18, 1968) was an American café society pianist based in New York City for four decades. Dubbed the "Art Tatum of Park Avenue," he was praised for his extensive repertoire (with an emphasis on show tunes) and improvisatory skill.

Bereits vor über 30 Jahren trat Salas-Humara, dieser äußerst wandlungsfähige Künstler, als Mastermind der Alt. Country Rock-Pioniere The Silos erstmalig in Erscheinung. Seither hat er nicht nur diese Kultband ständig wiederbelebt und mit ihnen reichlich Platten produziert, sondern an bemerkenswert vielen verschiedenartigen Projekten mitgewirkt.

Lovingly compiled by seminal label Strut, this collection gathers the consummate production work of disco producer Walter Gibbons. 'Jungle Music' chronicles the years between 1976and 1986, covering Gibbons' intrinsic musical odyssey from the beginning to the end. An essential musical document, it highlights the journey from his early days when he pioneeredthe use of reel to reel re-edits (Double Exposure's 'Ten Percent' and Jakki's 'Sun Sun Sun'), to groundbreaking leftfield disco (the loose and adventurous remix of Dinosaur L's 'Go Bang') and cult electro and hip hop jams (Strafe and Harlequin Fours' 'Set It Off'). An often overlooked figure in thehistory of dance music, this astounding compilation finallygives the recognition that Walter Gibbons deserves.

The reputation of complex art, accessible only to selected and trained listeners, is well founded, but jazz is so diverse and multifaceted that any listener will find something attractive in it.
