Music

Oleta Adams
"Her voice can soar with intensity, hanging onto notes for dear life, or sudddenly drop into hushed intimacy..."

Oleta is truly one of the most gifted and inspiring vocalists in contempory music today. "Come Walk With Me" is an somewhat hard-to-find, extraordinary album...

Gentle Giant
"Their music is both beautiful and challenging to the ear, sometimes so stunningly complex that it's a bit difficult to absorb."

Gentle Giant's music combined diverse elements from rock, classical, blues, Renaissance music, jazz, and the avante-garde with multi-part contrapuntal vocal harmonies galore! They were probably one of the most incredible progressive rock bands ever... check out this fascinating site...

George Duke
The main man! Funk, Jazz, Brazilian, Pop -- you name it --he's got it covered and does it well. Always a source of inspiration.
Poncho Sanchez
His three horn latin-jazz group always smokes. Great arrangements, great players, Afro-Cuban jazz at its best.

Oregon
Always in a class by themselves. Redefining the boundaries of jazz, classical and non-western music. Truly gifted artists - uniquely brilliant!

Was (Not Was)
Hysterically clever lyrics and absolute perfection in production, this short-lived wacked-out group made some of the best albums ever made. Check 'em out!

Local Talent / Creative Comrades

Bill Harris
An unsung hero on the NYC music scene. A phenomenal sax player and a brother in spirit through the years.
Carl Fischer
One of the greatest trumpet players out there, bar none...
Someone to watch.
TomTom Studios
Free-lance percussionist, recording engineer, recording studio owner... A refreshingly different creative artist.

Cliff Korman
Cliff is well known for his outstanding work as a performer and a researcher in the field of Brazilian instrumental music. A gifted pianist and composer and a true advocate of the best in Brazilian culture.

Walter Roberti
"a.k.a. The Wrist"
A brilliant musician and one of the sincerest guys in the business. (His rhythm guitar work is truly awesome!
)

Dave Keyes
At the World's Largest Blues Battle of the Bands, his band took first place...

Piano player, vocalist and songwriter. A fixture on the New York City scene, his spiritual roots are in the Southern sounds of blues, soul and classic boogie-woogie
 
New York Horns
Innovative new media entrepreneurs -- a polished professional package.

Kimson Plaut
A New York pianist/arranger, who lived in Brazil and immersed himself in Brazilian culture. While in Brazil, he researched the musical traditions of the Xavante Indians and headed his own jazz groups in Recife, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

After moving back to New York, Kimson was active in the NY Latin and Brazilian music scene. His own music fuses Brazilian rhythms (bossa nova, baião, choro, and samba) with American jazz harmony.

I am deeply saddened by his tragic, untimely death.and urge all to visit his site and purchase his wonderful CD.
