| | Banu Gibson Steppin' Out CD Banu Gibson Discography of CDs
This set is a change of pace for singer Banu Gibson, who is usually heard with her New Orleans Hot Jazz Band. Instead, she is accompanied by a quartet comprised of guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, her regular pianist David Boeddinghaus, bassist Bill Huntington, and drummer Jake Hanna, with occasional appearances by trumpeters Connie Jones or Jon-Erik Kellso and Brian Ogilvie on tenor and clarinet. Also a bit different is the repertoire, which, instead of being from the 1920s and '30s, dates primarily from the late '30s and 1940s. What is the same as in the past is the consistent high quality of Gibson's vocals and her enthusiasm and sensitivity for the music. Among the highlights are "I Don't Know Enough About You," "Memphis in June," "Put the Blame on Mame," "There's a Lull in My Life," and "There Will Never Be Another You." ~ Scott Yanow
Think of a swank nightclub, a sultry singer, a legendary guitarist, a swinging band, and some classic songs that take you back to an era when singers like Peggy Lee, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald graced the bandstand. Vocalist Banu Gibson teams up
Recorded on February 13-14, 2002.
Personnel includes: Banu Gibson (vocals); Bucky Pizzarelli (guitar); Brian Ogilvie (tenor saxophone, clarinet); Jon-Erik Kellso, Connie Jones (trumpet); David Boeddinhaus (piano); Bill Huntington (guitar, bass); Jake Hanna (drums).

Saxophonist, Shelley Carrol hails from family of gospel singers and musicians in Houston, Texas. It was there that the music bug bit him at an early age and landed him in the famed Boys Choir of Houston. After picking up the saxophone, he was able to study with the legendary Texas Tenor greats Arnett Cobb and Don Wilkerson. At the time he didn’t know how revered these gentlemen were around the globe. They simply lived in his neighborhood. Shelley attended the city’s High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and was a standout in the city’s Summer Jazz Workshop Program. This is where he developed a true flair for the stage.While attending the University of North Texas, Shelley earned a spot in the Grammy Nominated One O’clock Lab Band. There he recorded two critically acclaimed CD’s in 1990 – 91. During the same period, Mr. Carrol was invited to join the Duke Ellington Orchestra by trumpeter Barry Lee Hall. This would prove to be an enormous musical opportunity with worldwide exposure. Since joining the band, he has toured the U.S. and over 30 foreign countries. He has also recorded and or performed with Maureen McGovern, Tony Bennet, Nancy Wilson, Joe Williams and a host of others.Shelley evolved ...

Vermont based mandolinist "Mark Trichka's new CD for the Meher Baba community, "Mandolin Walla," is sophisticated acoustic vocal and instrumental folk music.  The album begins with a leisurely and nostagic Italian-flavored instrumental, 'Mandofino'.  It's clear we're in the hands of a relaxed and confident pro and his musician friends in this clean and intimate recording.To my ear, there are two standouts on this CD.  Meher Baba composed a sinuous and infinitely-adaptable melody for the 'Gujerati Arti', and Mark gives us a uniquely focused instrumental adaptation featuring mandolin and tabla.  'Everywhere Everything' has a near-rock mood, with tabla standing in for a rock drum kit.  Jamie Newell joins Mark singing this instant classic.While the instrumentals on this CD are all excellent, the vocal tracks are instantly memorable.  I found myself walking around humming 'Let Love Start' and 'Beloved God' recently, which is the real test of music's quality and accessibility.  The lyrics to 'Beloved God' are Baba's own prayer.  'Help Us To Find You' lyrics were from a 1953 message by Baba and rearranged into a prayer by Christi Pearson and Mark.While Mark's mandolin playing is prominent throughout, the instrumentation includes bass, tabla, drums, guitars, backwoods fiddle, and the occasional harmonica and accordion.  At times there are echoes of  Django Reinhardt at Le Hot Club; 'Hold On' uses Forties-style close harmonies and jazz chordings. 'One Step Closer' is a relaxed Cajun-flavored Baba song, complete with a few bars of rock'n'roll mandolin, followed by fiddle and accordion instrumental sections.  Lisa Brande and others contribute fine vocal harmonies to all vocal tracks.Mixed and mastered deep in Louisiana, 'Mandolin Walla' features wonderful mando-folk songwriting and expert performances.  Memorable music from a master mandolinist.  A great time and highly recommended."Karl MoellerTucson AZWhile listening, you may find yourself reminded of Pete Townshend's excellent Meher Baba albums, "Who Came First," "Happy Birthday" and "With Love" which were definitely big influences. Thank you Pete!This just in from Jamie Newell:My dearest MandoMarkie,WOW! Wowie Zowie W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-OW!!!! Or, and to express it more succinctly, lest my meaning not be perfectly clear: wow.What a great CD! When you told me you had an epic announcement, I, of course, expected a great CD, but this truly beyond the beyond.First: Fabulous packaging, ...
