Saxophonist JIMMY GREENE Releases Beautiful Life - Featuring Special Guests Including Kenny Barron, Javier Colon, Kurt Elling, and Pat Metheny, Among Others Posted: 01 Oct 2014 01:32 PM PDT Jimmy Greene's new release, Beautiful Life on Mack Avenue Records, is a celebration of the life of his 6-year-old daughter, Ana Márquez-Greene, whose life was tragically taken, along with 19 other children and 6 educators, on December 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. "I want the music to reflect the way that Ana lived," Greene says. He fulfills that mandate with an intense, cohesive, genre-spanning program-juxtaposing the hardcore instrumental jazz for which he is best known with traditional spirituals, contemporary Christian music, standard ballads and three original songs framing his own lyrics. Animating the repertoire is a gold-standard rhythm section (Renee Rosnes, piano; Christian McBride, bass; Lewis Nash, drums), augmented at various points by guitarists Pat Metheny and Jonathan DuBose, Jr.; pianists Kenny Barron and Cyrus Chestnut; vocalists Kurt Elling, Javier Colon and Latanya Farrell; spoken word from Tony® Award-winning actress Anika Noni Rose; a 13-piece string ensemble from the Hartford Symphony Orchestra; as well as an accomplished children's choir.

Musique Non Stop - Heavenly Sweetness

---

Blue Note Reissue #6: 6 new LPs ! Posted: 26 Nov 2013 06:38 AM PST Here we go with our new Blue Note reissue series! These range from the beautiful vocal album by Sheila Jordan 'Portrait of Sheila', through to classics like Dexter Gordon's 'One Flight Up' and Hank Mobley's 'No Room for Squares'. As usual, Heavenly Sweetness have also tried to reissue albums that are rarely seen on vinyl. So you can also find the second Grachan Moncur III album for Blue Note 'Some Other Stuff', impossible to find for over 20 years and the underrated Horace Parlan LP 'Happy Frame of Mind', which wasn't released until 1986. Last but not least, the late Donald Byrd's 'Kofi', a 1968 session produced by Duke Pearson and released in 1995. It is a pivotal work from his "groove period", which is available on LP and in a limited edition LP version that includes a 10" of Frank Foster's "The Loud Minority" (limited to 300 copies).
