George Shearing's solo piano CD Favorite Things doesn't hide his early background in the study of classical music, but at times it celebrates it. The only truly arranged piece on the album, "My Favorite Things," incorporates a portion of a Scarlatti sonata, while "Not You Again" hints at Tchaikovsky. "Taking a Chance on Love" was inspired by Brahms' E major Intermezzo, while Artie Shaw's "Moonray" has the character of a Baroque fugue. Many of the other tracks have an impressionistic flavor, especially the dreamy take of Dave Brubeck's "Summer Song" and the haunting treatment of Matt Dennis' "Angel Eyes." The pianist adds a warm, friendly vocal to the finale, "It Amazes Me." George Shearing was clearly enjoying himself during the two days of studio sessions which produced this CD; fans of solo jazz piano are invited to do the same. ~ Ken Dryden
Personnel includes: George Shearing (piano, vocals).

Favorite Things music CDs
$12.89
On the Fly is a nice album of straightforward jazz from New York trumpeter Liam Sillery. He combines with L.A.'s David Sills and his compatriots, who add a strong rhythm section to his horn work. In particular, organist Joe Bagg continually steals the show, often in combination with Tim Pleasant on drums. The horns provide some give and take, and pull out a few nice solos, but the real excitement often happens when ...

| | Jay Scott Homegrown CD (2008)
Favorite Things album
$13.15
Paradiddle records and CCI Music are pleased to announce the release of Homegrown, the new album by Jay Scott. Several years of performing with bands including Square 1 and Simple Citizen took Jay Scott from his home town of Patchogue, Long Island to New York City, Southern California and back, and the time on the road helped him refine his unique vocal and acoustic guitar style and provided the inspiration for a number of original songs. Scott moved back to Patchogue in 2003, fell in love with Kim, and they got married and purchased their first home in 2006. The following year Jay and Kim welcomed their son Raymond into the world in March. Like many young couples trying to make ends meet, Kim and Jay both work full time. Somehow Jay has found time to write songs, rehearse, record and perform as his audience continues to grow. Scott started performing solo in 2004, urged by Simple Citizen drummer Christie DeFeo to resist the lucrative cover band” scene and continue to write and perform his own songs. The two recorded a four song EP in DeFeo’s home studio, giving the homemade CDs out at live shows to appreciative fans. The fluid nature of the band prompted DeFeo to coin the name “Grand Case Scenario” for Scott’s backing band, as opposed to the worst case scenario of having a gig booked but not having a full band to play the show. Friends and fellow musicians continue to perform with Scott to this day, as does DeFeo, who performs with numerous other musicians but often reminds Scott “I’m with you till the wheels fall off!”. At a 2005 open mic night at BrickHouse Brewery in Patchogue, Christopher Capobianco was in the back of the bar when he heard Jay for the first time and was immediately drawn to the stage to hear what he called “an amazing voice and great songs”. He came back several weeks later to see Jay with his band, and was hooked. As coordinator of Live in the Lobby, the local original music series at the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts (PTPA), Capobianco and his fellow volunteers booked Scott and his band for a January 2007 show there, the acoustic “Concert for the Lobby” in July and the September Patchogue Jam 2 on the PTPA main stage featuring five acts who had played the Lobby. In October, the Jay Scott sound gelled when Grand Case Scenario became DeFeo, Aaron Palmadessa on lead and lap steel guitars, and Square 1 bassist Jason Tebaldi. Palmadessa’s sweet slide and dynamic lead guitar and Tebaldi’s powerhouse bass playing were the perfect compliment to DeFeo and Scott and long time fans knew that Jay Scott had finally found his band.Earlier that year, Scott began to nudge Capobianco to become his manager, saying “you’re a music fan and a businessman, and that’s what I need”. ...

Kick Kick began in the cellars of the suburbs with its eyes firmly set on the stadiums of the world.

Fueled ...
