About this product
Mr. Neikrug has given master classes in Germany, Italy, Austria, Australia, and Iceland, Hawaii, Canada and extensively in the United States. He has played solos with major symphonies all over the world. In addition to the cello repertoire, his virtuosity has enabled him to perform some of the most technically demanding works for the violin on the cello. His many performances of the Paganini Violin Concerto in D Major with the Sauret cadenza have amazed audiences and colleagues as well. 'George Neikrug has been, for many years, a respected colleague and musician, as well as a good friend. I regard him as a great artist -- a term not lightly used by a fellow professional. His superb, absolute command of the instrument, the probing depth of his musical perception, his contagious joy in communicating his affection for music; all combine in bringing to life whatever music he plays.' Isaac Stern Born in New York, George Neikrug was a pupil of the legendary Emanuel Feuermann and is probably the only remaining student who is still concertizing. In 1943, he met the well-known pedagogue D.C. Dounis, whose revolutionary approach to the problems of string playing and teaching influenced him to completely revamp his playing and create the unique style he has retained to this day. This association lasted for a period of fifteen years, and Neikrug felt such a debt to Dounis for all the knowledge and skills he had learned that he resolved to devote his life to teaching at schools, such as Boston University, and giving master classes all over the world. Since Neikrug's New York debut in 1947, he has held principal positions with the Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestras. He was also principal cellist of the Paramount Pictures Recording Orchestra and the Columbia Recording Orchestra, which recorded the historic series of performances by Igor Stravinsky and Brun

David Arnay spent his formative professional years in Ithaca, New York, where he was integral to numerous eclectic original band projects, including the Zobo Funn Band with guitarist David Torn. After moving to Southern California, he was recruited in 1994 by jazz woodwind legend Bennie Maupin for an exciting quintet that performed for several years. In 1997 David released his first CD as a leader. 'Daddy's Groove' featured performances by Maupin, drummer Peter Erskine, bassist Alphonso Johnson and other L.A. jazz luminaries, with a program of David's original compositions. 'I was delighted to be introduced to David Arnay's composing and playing talents at his record date. His is a fresh combination of well-chosen bits of contemporary music language plus innovative and original ideas. The resulting CD is a real pleasure to listen to... almost as much fun as making it was!' - drummer Peter Erskine 'The debut recording for pianist David Arnay is a hip, driving CD featuring excellent acoustic jazz. David has enlisted a veteran backing band comprised of Peter Erskine, Bennie Maupin, Alphonso Johnson and others who take all twelve selections into musically exciting and groovin' frontiers. Pianist Arnay has a solid blues base in his playing and displays quite a dazzling array of improvisations throughout the recording. He also composed and arranged all but one of the selections. Daddy's Groove is a refreshing acoustic jazz CD enriched in the tradition while also moving forward.' - Jazz Online 'I belong to a generation of players who value the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix as highly as we do Miles Davis and Art Tatum. The language of jazz is inclusive. I want to be heard by listeners who are into jazz and more. My music sounds new but somehow familiar, accessible for a large audience.' Album Tracks 1. Daddy's Groove 2. Hands Down 3. Ostinato 96 4. The Mighty Dollar 5
