| | Jenni Alpert Pieces CD Jenni Alpert Discography of CDs
With her sultry music, in a sound that hints at magical combinations of jazz, soul, and rock, Jenni Alpert performs her self-penned songs in a style that is infused with fresh flavors. She combines the best of Fiona Apple, Norah Jones, Jeff Buckley, Billie Holiday, and Joni Mitchell in a way that is truly unique. But it doesn't stop there. Her rich compositions, performed on both piano and acoustic guitar, and a captivating stage presence reveal deep languorous moods that will take you on an unexpected journey of sublime discovery. 'Pieces' weaves a web of brilliant songs featuring an amazing cast of LA's finest musicians which includes Jimmy Paxson Jr. (Stevie Nicks, Sophie B Hawkins, Edgar Winter, Alanis Morissette), Jimmy Messer (Kelly Clarkson, Enrique Englasias), Zac Rae (Alanis Morissette, Macy Grey), Mike Valerio (Queen Latifa, John Williams), Joel Martin (Reece), Chris Golden (Rod Stewart, Mick Fleetwood), Nick Sample (Joe Sample), and Stevie Blacke (Snoop Dog, Mandy Moore), and Hal Cragin (Rufus Wainwright, Sara Mclaughlin). During the recording sessions, Alpert chose to record all of her vocals and accompanying guitar / piano tracks simultaneously, live with the nucleus of her band with no separation and no second takes. It is Alpert's vocal strength that affords her the ability to record in such a fearless fashion. This recording captures the raw essence of Jenni Alpert and is as real and as untouched as it gets.

Pieces
 $14.44    
With The Fall, Norah Jones completes the transition away from her smooth cabaret beginnings and toward a mellowly arty, modern singer/songwriter. Jones began this shift on 2007's Not Too Late, an album that gently rejected her tendencies for lulling, tasteful crooning, but The Fall is a stronger, more cohesive work, maintaining an elegantly dreamy state that's faithful to the crooner of Come Away with Me while feeling decidedly less classicist. Some of this could be attributed to Jones' choice of producer, Jacquire King, best-known for his work with Modest Mouse and Kings of Leon, but King hardly pushes ...

| | Harry Connick, Jr Your Songs CD (2009)
Pieces
$13.79 
Much like 2001's SONGS I HEARD and 2004's ONLY YOU, 2009's YOUR SONGS finds vocalist/pianist Harry Connick, Jr. coming up with an urbane, passionate set of American popular standards and contemporary pop classics that he both performs and orchestrates. While his previous recordings leaned toward the classicist side--ONLY YOU featured songs of the '50s and '60s--YOUR SONGS features a more eclectic mix of standards and pop songs, with Connick's own lush orchestration lending an overall aesthetic of languid romanticism. To this end, Connick turns Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" into a kind of Herb Alpert-inspired '60s pop nugget and, conversely, the Beatles' 1964 classic ...

Steven HancoffSteve Hancoff's approach parallels Jelly-Roll Morton's notion of 'piano as band.' He translates the complex rhythms and polyphonies of band and piano jazz into the techniques he developed for the guitar...Amazing transcriptions and uncanny technical skills... (William Schafer, Mississippi Rag)Steve began playing guitar when he was 13 years old, captivated by the folk music craze of the 1960's. Within a year he was performing in coffee houses around Baltimore and Washington, DC.Steve began transcribing Scott Joplin's classic piano rags for the guitar when he was 23. Two years later, he attended his first ragtime festival in Joplin's hometown, Sedalia, Missouri. For the thrill of performing at the original Maple Leaf Club, he entered the competition there. Unaware of the uniqueness of his style, he was astonished when he won. This instantly attracted the attention and encouragement of Eubie Blake, Rudi Blesh, Trebor Tichenor, Max Morath and William Bolcom -- the judges and the Who's Who of the ragtime world. It also led to his recording two LP's of classic rags for the Dirty Shame label.He then put together his first CD, Steel String Guitar. Guitarists and reviewers were unanimously enthusiastic.Steve Hancoff's CD is a timeless gem. (Paul Bezanker, Record Collector's Exchange)...Exceptional technique and arrangements and a delightfully eclectic repertoire, brimming with vitality and grace. (Mike Joyce, Washington Post)If you are a confirmed guitar nut, the whole CD ought to sweep you away. (William Schafer, The Mississippi Rag)Steve HancoffGetting into authentic New Orleans jazz was Steve's next musical step. It was the chance of a lifetime when music historian and producer Al Rose invited him to New Orleans. There, Al introduced him to the legendary musicians who were present at the birth of jazz and who had actually had a hand in creating it. Steve lived in the French Quarter, playing with and learning from these gracious people. This experience inspired his second CD, New Orleans Guitar Solos.The instrument is the acoustic guitar, and Steve Hancoff proves there is no limit to what can be done with it in the hands of a master. (Warren Vache', Jersey Jazz)His playing is often so full and rich that one may have the impression that more than one guitar is playing.(Steve Pistorius, The Second Line)` Guitarists will be amazed...an important recording.(Fact Sheet Five)One of Steve's typical concert programs might include a Sousa march, a Joplin rag, a Morton stomp, a bouquet of New Orleans jazz, a medley of Tin Pan Alley hits from the 1920's, James P. Johnson Harlem stride, some Duke Ellington, and always some surprises -- often including original compositions and improvisations. Steve is also a storyteller who frames his pieces with engaging, poignant and fascinating historical vignettes.A brilliant talent and an enthusiastic performer, Hancoff captivated a huge crowd....
