The Matt Lawson Quintet - Midnight In Merizo
The 2004 winner of the national jazz trumpet competition leads a stellar rhythm section with original compositions and innovative arrangements.
Matt Lawson, an award-winning trumpeter from Maine, makes his debut CD, recording with some of the Midwest's top jazz performers: Indianapolis pianist Steve Allee, and Louisvillians Tyrone Wheeler on bass, Jacob Duncan on alto sax, and Jason Tiemann on drums. Lawson, who won the 1993 National Jazz Trumpet competition, swings his way through several original compositions and leads the group in some very tasty arrangements of tunes by Benny Golson, Wayne Shorter, Lenny Tristano, Gary Pack and Leonard Bernstein. Give a listen to this up-and-coming jazz artist and you'll be looking for places to catch him in person!

Sheila Cooper
Since You Were Mine
Alto saxophonist and singer Sheila Cooper combines a sense of jazz cool with humor and passion to bring new life to old treasures from the American songbook.
The Canadian-born, New York-based singer, alto saxophonist, composer and arranger is -- as saxophone star Lee Konitz notes -- "a singer on her horn and with her voice, and that's the best playing for me."
Sheila Cooper has created imaginative and elegant renderings of popular standards that showcase her fresh, sexy voice and crisp, swinging alto sax playing. Also featured is the world-class rhythm section of Renee Rosnes on piano, Scott Colley on acoustic bass, and Billy Drummond on drums.
