Gilad Hekselman - SplitLife
The winner of the 2005 Montreux Jazz Guitar Competition--stunning guitar virtosity in a fantastic trio setting.
Remember the name Gilad Hekselman, because you’re going to be hearing it a lot from here on. He’s already made a big impression by winning the 2005 Gibson Montreux International Guitar Competition at the Montreux Jazz Festival. But now here is his debut recording for all to hear.
Gilad Hekselman was born in Israel February 3, 1983 in Kfar Saba, and he grew up in Alfey Menashe. He began on piano at age six, and guitar at age nine. From ages 12-14 he performed regularly on two television programs on the Children Channel in Israel, where his fellow musicians introduced him to playing jazz. He attended Thelma Yellin High School of the Arts, a national magnet school also attended over the years by a number of notable Israeli jazz musicians. Several graduates of Yellin – including Omer Avital, Avi Leibovich, and Eli Digibri – migrated to New York in the mid-1990s, attended The New School, and ultimately became frequent performers at Smalls. Hekselman, who arrived at The New School in 2004, and who has been recently featured at Smalls, is the latest to become a part of that legacy.

Annie Ross
Let Me Sing
Legendary Annie Ross From the classic vocal roots of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross
As a child she sang for Duke Ellington and was praised by him. As a teenager she heard Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie and lived hippily ever affter. Well it wasn't that simple - or easy, But if show business was in her blood, jazz crept into her bones. She rubbed elbows with Stella Brooks; subbed at the Apollo Theater for Billie Holiday and became a caring friend to Lady Day; was married to Kenny Clarke and recorded with an incipient Modern Jazz Quartet; wrote the lyrics to Wardell Gray's "Twisted" and Art Farmer's "Farmer's Market" and vocally negotiated their serpentine contours with uncanny elan; was a nightclub entrepreneur in London at "Annie's Room"; appeared with Anthony Newley in Cranks; Vanessa Redgrave in Three Penny Opera; and was directed by Robert Altman in The Player and Short Cuts

Kul med musiktips men varför all kopierad text?
90% verkar komma från cdbaby så det är väl bara tipsa om detta utmärkta independantbolag så kan man själv gå in och kolla då och då. Du brukar ju ändå inte skriva vad du själv tycker oftast.
Det blir väldigt många poster med den här varianten.
edit: Dålig formulering: "Mycket text" - inte "många poster" |

Visst kan man kolla själv där Roq, men jag "har" inte tid att surfa där och kolla, så dessa tips passar mig rätt bra, när det är min stil på musiker/sångerskor.
Visst, en liten egen "touch" kanske vore ett extra +,,, men inte så att det stör. |
