Sharon by the sea – buy at cdbaby.com
Eva Scouw & Dusty Brough

An intricate fusion of jazz, Brazilian and classical music that speaks to the best of each genre, SHARON BY THE SEA features the talents of Eva Scow (mandolin and violin) and Dusty Brough (guitars), two rising stars on the acoustic music scene.

On SHARON BY THE SEA, Eva and Dusty have surrounded themselves with a group of musicians whose adventurous spirits match their own, including bassist Kevin Freeby, percussionist John Martin III, Javon Davis on keyboards and Mark Summer on keyboards.

Honoring the tradition of their musical roots while exploring the boundaries of improvisation, Eva – who has performed and recorded with such legendary artists as Mike Marshall, David Grisman, Edgar Meyer and Bela Fleck – and Dusty – whose resume ranges from work with artists as diverse as Jesse Cook and Michael Buble – have designed a unique landscape of melody and rhythm, rich in atmosphere and texture.  

Mike Marshall's Big Trio – buy at cdbaby.com

After thirty years of performing and recording, I have had the opportunity to play with some of the finest acoustic musicians in the world – musicians from a variety of styles who have shown the way for future generations of players and even gone on to create compete genres all their own. I place Alex and Paul on the same shelf with this elite group. These are not just young people. These are old souls with unique voices and complete command of their instruments who are able to swing hard in a variety of musical genres with grace and authenticity, power and beauty. It has not been without continuous amazement and joy that I have been able to play with these two guys and create this music together. Their depth of musical understanding, breadth of creativity and expression and just plain instrumental ‘chops’ was never short of astounding. We had a complete BALL hangin’ out, cooking and playing for over a month as we were arranging these tunes. If THIS is what the next generation of string musicians is going to be doing, then I’m riding with them. Let’s Go Guys!  –– Mike Marshall

Live at Caramoor
Jovino Santos Neto & Weber Iago

For nearly fifteen years, I have watched in amazement as the Caramoor Jazz Festival has grown into one of the greatest festivals in the world. Over this time,  some of the greatest jazz artists in the world have graced the stage at the Venetian Theatre at Caramoor, and I wanted to make sure Jovino and Weber were part of the 2007 festival.

The idea of recording Jovino Santos Neto and Weber Iago together came as a result of a series of extraordinary salon concerts that I co-produced with Richard Zirinsky of Adventure Music at the Fazioli Salon on piano row at Klavierhaus in New York City.

For this holy night in July 2007, Richard and I decided, for the first time ever in the States, to bring two Fazioli D308 concert grand pianos to the stage, and let the music fly with two masters on two masterpieces! Each Fazioli piano is hand made in Italy and it takes nearly three years for one instrument to come to life... and come to life they did with a program of music that I am certain will knock you off your feet.

At the end of the night, a great surprise happened when Joe Lovano came onstage to join the pianists with an amazing version of “Wave,” by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Special things happen in jazz at the spur of the moment, and THIS was a surprise captured for the ages.

The remarkable talents of guitarist and vocalist Toninho Horta and vocalist Tom Lellis coalesce to create a delightful musical alliance on Tonight, the duo's second collaboration for Adventure Music. A native of Brazil, Horta, who has been lauded by Pat Metheny as the Herbie Hancock of Bossa Nova guitarists, brings a distinctive approach to both his natural and man-made instruments, while the American-born Lellis, whose recent releases have earned spots in the Jazziz Critics Poll ”Best CDs of 2004” and ”Best CDs of 2006”� among many other critical accolades, contributes his richly melodic and vibrant vocal style to Tonight's 14 tracks. Included in the CD's repertoire are remarkable interpretations of such standards as Percy Faith's ”Maybe September”,”Jobim's ”Dindi,” and Gershwinâ's ”Summertime,” as well as original compositions from both artists

Revolving Landscapes - Buy at cdbaby
Jorge Albuquerque, Marcos Amorim, Rafael Barata
Revolving Landscapes is Rio-based guitar master Marcos Amorim's third release for Adventure Music, and his first for the label with a new trio that features drummer Rafael Barata, who has recorded with such legendary Brazilian artists as Rosa Passos, Edu Lobo, Ivan Lins, and Mario Adnet, and bassist Jorge Albuquerque, who has worked with Nestor Torres, Leo Gandelman and Antonio Adolfo. While always true to the Brazilian influences that formed his fluid and elegant style, Amorim has received critical acclaim for his distinctive sound that is at once timeless and contemporary. On Revolving Landscapes, he, Barata and Albuquerque have fused their individual, impressive abilities to craft a sensuous and intimate set of songs that are sure to satisfy fans of Amorim's two previous Adventure Music releases, Cris on the Farm and Sete Capelas, which were lauded as 'playful and imaginative' (Popmatters.com) and a 'revelatory Brazilian release' (Jazz Times).

Alma do Nordeste (soul of the northeast) - buy at cdbaby
Jovino Santos Neto
After receiving two Latin Grammy nominations in 2004 and 2006, Jovino Santos Neto returned to Rio de Janeiro to record a new CD of original material inspired by the musical universe of Northeastern Brazil. After establishing a solid reputation as one of the most important creators in contemporary Brazilian jazz, Jovino once again brings his characteristic blend of energetic grooves, deep harmonies, lyrical melodies and great ensemble playing to this new disc.

Continuous Friendship - Hamilton de Holanda & André Mehmari
“Continuous Friendship” is the first recorded collaboration from two of Brazil’s most vital young composers and instrumentalists: 31 year-old pianist Andre Mehmari and 32 year-old mandolinist Hamilton de Holanda. The CD features a collection of eleven tracks comprised of spirited original compositions and imaginative interpretations of songs by such renowned composers as Enrico Morricone, Guinga, and Egberto Gismondi, as well as three bonus tracks that capture the spontaneity and creativity of the duo’s first rehearsal for the recording.

Lucia Pulido
“This recording weaves together several strands of Lucía Pulido´s musical projects into a highly condensed and expressive sound. Lucía Pulido and her musicians, all based in New York City, have been pioneers in the creation of a Colombian New York sound that has slowly consolidated over the past decade. Lucía’s voice moves from festive dances to funeral laments, contrasting songs that allow her to explore the many nuances of her voice. Sudden changes in volume and density, fluid dialogues with the musicians, the voice overpowering the word at times, and at others, adding to its poetic flight. The music is based on traditional songs from the Colombian Caribbean, the Pacific Coast and the Eastern Plains with arrangements mainly by Sebastián Cruz. We also find explorations of the contrasting textures of voice and bass with Stomu Takeishi. Like the different faces of a waning moon, this recording explores the many ways in which Lucía and the musicians she works with have crafted their music into a rich exploration of her voice through experimental work made possible by the cross-roads of places and musics, of migrating Colombian traditions in flux.” Ana Maria Ochoa Gautier, Columbia University
