Vibraphonist Dave Shank's Latest 5tet Offering "Soundproof" + Exclusive Tracks

PRESS RELEASE

The Dave Shank Quintet - SoundproofOn Soundproof (to be released September 27th by Rhombus Records on CD but available in mp3 format right now), vibraphonist Dave Shank showcases ten new compositions that feature the highly interactive, swinging interplay of a stellar quintet comprised of bassist John Patitucci, pianist Barry Miles, drummer Terry Silverlight and saxophonist Mike Migliore.

From start to finish, Shank and his veteran crew exhibit a remarkable chemistry with a penchant for collective improvisation in the moment. Sparks fly on all the solo choruses throughout, but it's the remarkable cohesion of the consummate pros in the rhythm section that really makes these tunes sparkle.

EoJ Tip - Brazilian Trumpeter Claudio Roditi's Newest Album "Bons Amigos" + Exclusive Tracks!

Bons Amigos won't be released in America until September 13th, 2011,  but I wanted you all to know about it. :)

PRESS RELEASE

Claudio Roditi - Bons AmigosIn the cover photo of his new album Bons AmigosClaudio Roditi sits surrounded by "good friends" indeed - the various horns that he has used to make extraordinary music, on both sides of the equator, during a career that spans more than four decades. And on this disc, he's making a little more of that music than on any recording in recent years. 

"I felt like playing a few more notes on this album," says the 65-year-old trumpet legend. "I played double-time more often than I normally do, and there are some solos where I'm taking some liberties that I usually don't. It was just my choice on this album. Very often, I equate playing a lot of notes with 'showing off' - and I'm not a player who likes to show off."
