| | Eric Essix Somewhere In Alabama CD Eric Essix Discography of CDs
Essential Recordings has begun repackaging all of the Eric Essix back catalog CD's in more environmentally compatible cardboard sleeves, starting with Somewhere In Alabama, his best selling disc on CD Baby and for the label! Each of these catalog recordings will feature new artwork on the sleeve itself but the track listings and program remains exactly the same as the original. On Somewhere In Alabama, Eric's style and sound embody the southern influences that inform his playing and composing. He continues to explore this direction on this offering which is heavily laden with gospel, R&B and blues references in a contemporary jazz setting. The album features a cover of Alabama native, Lionel Richie's hit, "Easy" and a very eclectic treatment of the civil rights march anthem "Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me 'Round" that mixes hip-hop grooves with Eric's jazzy approach to the melody. Eric also includes a very gospel rendition of the Hall & Oates classic "Sara Smile" that has been a staple in his live show for over a decade."Somewhere In Alabama's" real strength, however, lies in its seven original compositions all penned by Essix. The songs run the gamut stylistically opening with the funky, soul inflected "Sweet Tea" to the "straight out of the church" title track and closing with the driving Tower of Power influenced "Brown Town". Eric's guitar floats above the well crafted production throughout the albums 55 minute running time often "George Benson" smooth and silky, but at other times revealing his rock and blues influences with snarling, high powered, distortion laced solo's. If you have never heard of Eric but like the music of Norman Brown, early Robben Ford or Chuck Loeb, "Somewhere In Alabama" may be the destination you've been searching for!For more about Eric, go to:www.ericessix.com Somewhere In Alabama Music Eric Essix Somewhere In Alabama Songs | 1. | Easy |

Recording information: Brooklyn Recording, Brooklyn, NY (11/2008).
Henry Threadgill has, in the framework of abstract music, been a stalwart, spontaneous composer whose personal sound is near impossible to identify, or certainly codify. A listener who enjoys very challenged music would have difficulty in discerning what is made up or written out. The elusive nature of Threadgill's kind of progressive jazz has to confound even those most oriented to his quirky pieces. Where the quintet Zooid lands in this quirky quandary of pegging a signature sound is subject to guesswork, but it definitely has its own brand of concentrated cohesion. Between Threadgill's scattershot flute and alto sax, the sleek tuba or trombone work of Jose Davila, and Liberty Ellman's thorny electric ...

Winston's impressions of the fall season are full of slow chording and sudden melodic runs on his acoustic piano. He captures the mixed feelings of the season, both its final flaring of life and its gradual retreat. ~ William Ruhlmann
AUTUMN was superstar new age pianist George Winston's first album to sell more than 1,000,000 copies. Listening to these spare, emotionally rich pieces, it's easy to understand why. But it's also clear what sets Winston ...

| | Jacobson Organ Spirits & Splinters CD (2005)
Somewhere In Alabama
$9.35
The Jacobson Organ's are a pair of olfactory pockets in the roof of the mouth. Carefully use mirror to check.No "Special Effects" were used in the creation of this record.Orignally titled "Sympathy For The Drunkard".Many true stories throughout.Also availiable in vinyl.Her name is Gauge. (ilovegauge.com)Here's a story about the first piano player weauditioned for the album: Little was known about the man, except that he liked free gas. Most folks in his area paid for their gas, but he was wont to prompt the clerk, "If I have to pay for this gas I will kill you." This is what led to his acquiring the gas for a significant discount, or free, but it is also what led to his 4-year stint in the slammer. This is where I met him. Never mind how I landed in the clink. He had only one ear (his right) which leant him his unique look. That, and the fact his teeth were a bright orange as a result of a horrific accident at a jelly bean company he had worked for six years prior. I was insanely jealous of the man because he was the only inmate who was allowed coffee. My friend Appleseed and me would pour the hot coffee all over him before he could taste the delicious brew. He didn't mind the burns, so we made fast friends. It was Appleseed, the burned man, and me. We were like the Three Musketeers except that we were in prison and didn't have weapons per se, just a stick that Applejack widdled down on one end so it could scratch ...

| | Don Barrozo Blue Talk CD (2005)
Somewhere In Alabama
$15.19
The music of trumpeter and composer Don Barrozo may not be familiar to you yet, but if you're a fan of the critically acclaimed television series "The Simpsons", you've probably seen his name. He's been a film editor for the popular animated series since its premiere in 1989. "Film editing and music have a lot in common," says Don, "I use the same sensibilities with film as I do with music, telling a story using rhythm."On his fine debut album "Blue Talk", ten compelling original compositions recall the music of trumpet icons ranging from Herb Alpert to Miles Davis. Striking, lovely melodies and lush harmonies infuse songs that range in style from reggae to world groove, funk and beyond. Multi-layered horns and an outstanding live band weave a tapestry of constantly shifting colors and moods. Legendary drummer James Gadson, who appears on "Blue Talk" said, "(Don) plays it real slick and sophisticated, every note means something".Don Barrozo was born in Montana, the son of a horn playing Filipino immigrant father and an American mother. He grew up with the sounds of his father's ...
