Ted Howe is a veteran jazz musician who seems to be treading on dangerous ground by tackling a Duke Ellington songbook, not exactly an original idea. The pianist was originally hired to choreograph his long-running Ellington program for a ballet performance by the Ruth Mitchell Dance Theatre in Atlanta. In the process of recording the music for the show's producer, he realized that he had a viable CD in the making. Howe chose ten pieces from Ellington's vast repertoire, but the pianist came up with some imaginative approaches, mixing various styles into each track. Accompanied by two talented musicians, bassist Neal Starkey (long a first-call player for visiting performers needing a local rhythm section) and drummer Jerry Fields, he dreams up a wild Latin chart for an extended workout of "Caravan" that showcases Fields to good effect. His playful side comes across in the whimsical take of "Sophisticated Lady." His perky interpretation of "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" utilizes his effective stride piano chops. His introduction to "Take the 'A' Train" suggests a locomotive getting underway, before venturing into more familiar bop variations of this famous theme song. It is refreshing to discover musicians the caliber of Ted Howe and his trio, who can find new ground to explore within well-known compositions by a jazz legend. ~ Ken Dryden Purchase Ellington CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Don Friedman Waltz For Debby CD (2003)

From the very first time I heard “Listen Up, I’m About To Get Dope”, I knew that Mac Dre would be a star. We first met sometime in the late 1980’s at Rated Z Records in downtown Vallejo. Dre was releasing songs that were being circulated on underground cassette tapes and was fast becoming on the Bay Areas biggest names. After he released his first official album, the 4 song EP “Young Black Brotha”, his fan base started spreading throughout the West Coast. Around 1990, I did a song with Dre called “Do The Crew”, that was originally done on a 4 Track recorder. When we (N2DEEP) got our record deal with Profile Records, we starting recording at a real studio and were in the process of re-doing all of the songs that we had recorded on the 4 Track. I had just seen Dre at a music convention in San Francisco and let him know that we needed to go into the studio and re-do the song the following week. A couple days later, Dre was arrested for an alleged bank robbery and spent 5 years in Prison. The song never happened. I kept in touch with Dre during his sentence and even went to Lompoc Federal Prison to visit him. When he finally got released, he came and seen me and told me all of his plans about wanting to start a record label and wanting to do a compilation called “The Rompilation”. He wanted me to help him with it, so for the next 5 or 6 months, we put together an album that would be one of the biggest compilations ever to come out of the Bay Area. The album has sold close to 100,000 units to date. Me and Dre kept doing music and shows together throughout the years. Every album that I would put together, I would already know that I could count on Dre to come and lay down ...
