About this product
On Echoes of the Masters, Taru Alexander creates an aural tribute to his father, the great Roland Alexander, and the tremendous musicians who passed the tradition down to him and the future generations through their impact on the bandstand and their examples off of it. Drummer Taru Alexander was endowed with music by his father, saxophonist Roland Alexander, and an extended family of professional musician mentors in his native Brooklyn, New York. The younger Alexander celebrates the legacy of his father and his father's peers on Echoes of the Masters, a collection of pieces by well-known jazz composers performed by an outstanding group of musicians who came of age under the tutelage of legendary performers on the bandstand. // A lifetime of musical experience has imbued Alexander with the skills, the knowledge, and the swagger to play jazz as it should be played. His credentials spread from bands led by Roy Hargrove, Gary Bartz, Carlos Garnett, and many more, so when he was considering who should join him on his new recording, Alexander wanted to include other musicians who had truly paid their dues. Pianist James Hurt has been a focal part of the New York jazz scene since he arrived in 1994. Alexander met saxophonist Antoine Roney and bassist Rashaan Carter on a recording session led by saxophonist Michael Marcus in 2008. Roney has been a stalwart leader and sideman in New York alongside fantastic musicians like Jacky Terrasson, Donald Byrd, John Patton, and his brother, Wallace Roney. Carter carries the history of the jazz bass on his shoulders having studied with Buster Williams, Reggie Workman, and Ron Carter.

2018 . It will come as no surprise to fans of Azar Lawrence that his life's work is to bridge the gap between his listeners and the Elementals (the spiritual essences of the four elements earth, air, fire and water). For over four decades he has unstintingly explored music as a healing force, and the mystical connections between past and future, myth and fact, the physical world and that which is beyond. Lawrence hopes that in a holistic sense, Elementals encourages a spiritual awakening. InchAll of this music is healing music; that's our whole concept is to heal and uplift,Inch he explains. InchIf it's delivered and received on the right level, it will raise our own vibrations and bring us in touch with those higher spirits that respond when the music is pure with love and joy.Inch It also happens to be an intensely powerful and swinging recording.

Multi-award winning Little G Weevil established himself as one of the most deeply moving entertainers on the American music scene, making his name as an acoustic and electric guitarist and singer in the Blues world. His new album, SOMETHING POPPIN', takes a giant step beyond his previous work as well as that of his contemporaries, recording all new music in his original and current home towns of Budapest, Hungary and Atlanta, Georgia with an international band in a style he calls '21st Century Rhythm and Blues.' Much of this album is inspired by the early 70's afro American blues,' soul, R&B, funk, African rock genres and the sounds of the black exploitation movies such as InchSuperfly.Inch which is the source or the album's only cover, Curtis Mayfield's 'Pusher Man.' G mixes blues with hop hop beats and rap, and the result is fantastic.1 Here I Come Knocking2 Something Poppin'3 See Me In The Country4 How You Want Me To Deal With This5 You Can't Say Nothing6 Scrub7 Pusherman8 Crawling9 I Don't Want To Feel The Rain10 Top Model
