Joymakers - Down Where The Bluebonnets Grow - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Joymakers - A Texas-Sized Band [COMPACT DISCS] date 04/24/2026

Xavier Montsalvatge was one of the most important composers to emerge from Catalonia in the course of the twentieth century.

Jackiem burst onto the scene with his babysoul on the tiny ARTizen imprint. His second, Lil' Man Soul on Artistry Music, exploded his pop/urban melodies across the breadth of contemporary jazz consciousness via two #1 singles (InchI'm Waiting for YouInch and InchTake Me ThereInch) which have together logged at this writing a total of over 21 weeks at the apex of the charts. His newest, the eponymous Jackiem Joyner, boasts yet more radio-friendly tracks including the single InchDance with Me.Inch the young composer/producer also stretches into new territory with the Slash-like guitar burn of InchPushInch and the syncopated marching band drum opening of InchThe Reunion.Inch All are sure to be favorites on the Joyner concert trail as he maintains double duty with both his band and as part of Keiko Matsui's outfit. As ever, Jackiem eschews the trends of big-name producers and guest stars, and does almost all of it himself - playing, producing and composing. There are a couple covers Aerosmith's InchI Don't Want to Miss a ThingInch and the King of Pop's own InchOff the Wall,Inch and a guest guitar solo from Paul Jackson Jr. on InchTurn It UpInch (which he captured while both were on tour in Reading PA).
