| | Kellye Gray Standards In Gray CD Kellye Gray Discography of CDs
Texas-based singer Kelly Gray made her recording debut on this CD. She displays a mature style and a deep expressive voice that is sometimes reminiscent of Sarah Vaughan (especially on parts of "How Long Has This Been Going On" and "Since I Feel For You"). Gray is at her best when she is bending notes or interpreting bossa-nova numbers. Her scatting is not quite up to that level and when she imitates a trumpet on the overlong "All Blues," it quickly evolves from being cute to becoming tiresome. Backed by a superior rhythm section (including pianist Dave Catney and guitarist Dwight Sills with guest appearances from saxophonist Warren Sneed), Kellye Gray is mostly in fine form for this date. If she could be a bit more subtle in her vibrato and in her emotional climaxes ("How Insenitive" gets a bit ridiculous) her music would grow in value. ~ Scott Yanow

Joachim Schoenecker: A master guitar-player of the modern age of classical jazz! With a style that is sure and expressive, technically brilliant and acoustically multicoloured, Joachim Schoenecker celebrates his musical visions with a smooth unobtrusiveness that is always on the same wavelength as his high-calibre band members. In the USA, the spiritual home of jazz, Schoenecker’s energy-charged music with its emotional, melodic ballads and virtuoso, sometimes breathtakingly fast-paced, tunes has long been considered the insider’s favourite on what is a very tough and demanding jazz scene.That Joachim Schoenecker is a first-rate guitarist is clearly ...

After spending a career in international business, you’d think Bob Wagner would want to sit back, relax and enjoy life at his home in St. Paul de Vence, France.Mais, non! Bob is just getting started. This time, it’s his work as a jazzcomposer and musician he’s taking to the next level, delving into a career as a recording artist. It’s work that Bob has always done, just not often in public. “I have very much remained the dark horse in the music arena,” he says.A dark horse, that happens to be a powerful and proven musical steed. Sincetaking up songwriting as a university student in the 1950s, Bob has amassedover 150 compositions; mostly big band-era jazz tunes that have been well received on the international stage. His song, “No Small Talk Please” wasrecorded by Universal Music artist Laura Fygi on her CD, “Change.” The song is actually Bob’s first composition, and has also been recorded by Andy Williams, who performed it on NBC’s Steve Allen Tonight Show in New York in 1954.Bob has also co-written songs with high-caliber musical heavyweights like Academy Award winning British composer Leslie Bricusse, a famous songwriter of West End and Broadway musicals; and recorded with French jazzartists, The Marc Peillon Trio. Most recently, Bob is working with Emmy Awardwinning pianist, conductor and arranger, Lee Musiker.Bob and Lee have arranged and recorded a number of Bob’s original songs together. This time, however, it’s Bob taking the limelight as songwriter and singer. No longer is he working behind the scenes as the writing talent; he is the star of the show, along with some other well-known performers who share singing duties.Musically, Bob leans toward jazz ballads, ...
| | Cavemen Go New Lives CD (2009)
Standards In Gray songs
$10.15
The Cavemen Go don't play throwback pop: What they play is timeless. New Lives, recorded by the members of the band (Jeremy, Bob, keyboardist/singer Emily Hamar and former bassist John Varrone) themselves in an empty apartment above a lawyer's office (a setting so un-rock 'n' roll it is, in fact, totally rock 'n' roll), sees The Cavemen Go further fusing the past and the present. Brill Building/British Invasion/Motown influences are there, as are nods to the poppier end of contemporary indie rock, and even shades of country and folk-rock. Simultaneously modern and classic, nuanced and efficient, New Lives showcases the band's punchiest, most urgent melodies yet. And with the arrival of new bassist/vocalist Brian LaRue, the 'Go' are poised for yet another exciting chapter. "We've got our new ...
