hey guys,
my husband's band has a new album already getting grammy nods (if you're a member, please listen and check YES in the jazz category?!?) Mike Jones Plays Well With Others-- He is a monster jazz pianist, pretty well known, and he is music director/opens for Penn & Teller. This is his 11th recording, but the first one getting a Grammy Nomination, (again, please check YES for his record if you vote? tis the season..)
You are invited to come check out the band in probably one of the only times all three members will be on stage together for some time.... each is a powerhouse in their instrument- Jeff Hamilton is on Drums, and a 22 year old monster named Mike Gurolla is the bassist. They'll be at Alvas Showroom in San Pedro, (just a quick ride down the 710 and you're there... for those in the LA area.. http://www.gighear.org/venues/show_event.php?id=4421 Penn Jillette wrote the liner notes, and our friend and electric Tuba player, David "The SImpsons Director" Silverman, did the album cover. The people who show up will astound and amaze you... if previous LA shows are any indicator. (Folks from The Big Bang Theory, Simpsons, Mad Men, etc... all fans of his.)
Anyhoos, if you want a pre-taste of the lovely album which you can vote for NOW on the Grammy website if you're a voting member, (did I mention that?) you can download it before it goes on sale officially. (September 17th, Capri records releasing it on iTunes, Amazon, etc....) just visit his website, http://JonesJazz.com. You can buy individual songs, or the entire album. I'm partial to Besame Mucho. Jazz junkies think September Song is pretty much it. His style is very much Art Tatum/Oscar Peterson (his mentor), and very much like Dave McKenna. If you like Jazz standards, you'll love this; if you like albums like Kind of Blue? you'll LOVE this.
Thanks for listening, go back to your non-jazz-nagging reading now
