Second album by Norwegian/American guitarist Jacob Young features the working band first heard on "Evening Falls", a group established to reflect the compatible styles and ideas of three generations of Norwegian jazz players.
Personnel: Jacob Young (guitar); Vidar Johansen (bass clarinet, tenor saxophone); Mathias Eick (trumpet); Mats Eilertsen (double bass); Jon Christensen (drums).
Recording information: Rainbow Studio, Oslo, Norway (05/2006).
Photographer: Colin Eick.
A thoroughly modern guitarist, Jacob Young (from Norway) was influenced chiefly by masters Jim Hall and John Abercrombie. Young's style is of the dense, mood-laden fusion variety particular to ECM Records. Recalling the earliest discs from that label by Bill Frisell and John Abercrombie, SIDEWAYS balances absorbing motifs, chilled-out textures, and flowing, probing solos. Trumpeter Mathias Eick evokes the mellow, cerebral styles of Miles Davis and Kenny Wheeler, and ECM vet drummer Jon Christensen is, as expected, perfect.
Sideways is another standout ECM release from Norwegian guitarist Jacob Young. Featuring more of Young's atmospheric jazz, the album walks a fine line between melodic, cool-influenced sounds and avant-garde group improvisation. In that sense, Sideways brings to mind some of the work of such classic ECM artists as trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, keyboardist Keith Jarrett, and guitarist Pat Metheny. Joining Young here is a stellar ensemble consisting of such journeyman artists as reedman Vidar Johansen and drummer Jon Christensen, as well as bassist Mats Eilertsen and trumpeter Mathias Eick. Notably, Eick brings an interesting style to the band suggesting a mix of the intimate '70s work of Wheeler; the more epic, Miles-inflected approach of Enrico Rava; and a kind of European folk interpretation of '50s icon Chet Baker. Much like other ECM releases, with its mix of laid-back edginess and ambient, searching improvisations, Sideways works just as well on a cerebral, engaging level as on a background, afterglow level. ~ Matt Collar

"Cheyenne Medders is definitely an artist to watch in the coming years. Not only does he have a unique voice, but he writes beautiful unguarded songs that are not precious or 'wanna be' and you can actually listen and enjoy them and not want to barf." - Robin Eaton, Alex the Great Recording, Nashville TN Twenty-five year old Cheyenne Medders has been writing and recording songs for half his life. Born in Northern Georgia into a musical family, he absorbed the songs coming out of his father's mouth and stereo, from a Johnny Horton gold rush to Elton John's Madman Across the Water. It's no wonder that Cheyenne's aspiration became creating music as timeless as it is progressive. He has been described as “Warren Zevon meets The Shins.â€While attending Harding University in Arkansas, a second home to which he often returns to play, Cheyenne gained a following performing in clubs, coffeehouses and actual houses, singing with a gravelly voice akin to a Southern ...

Biographyven•turen.An undertaking that is dangerous, daring, or of uncertain outcome.A business enterprise involving some risk in expectation of gain \"...Well I can clearly see that you\'ve got what it takes to accomplish your dreams...In the end, it all comes down to the songs. No one in the world can deny a great one.\"Mark Tremonti of Creed / Alter BridgeThese are the words that inspired founding member Blake Self to form the band known as VENTURE. After graduating high school, Blake received a hand written letter from his greatest idol. CREED was ruling the airwaves and topping the charts, and their lead guitarist, Mark Tremonti, took the time to write a personal letter to one of his biggest fans. The wheels were put in motion...the stage was set...VENTURE exploded onto the rock scene from literal obscurity in 3 short years. Their debut CD, THE PRISONER, has already caught the attention of many on radio, and now their live performances are creating quite a stir in the music industry.\" Who are these guys?\" is the most often asked question. Blake Self, Michael Barnes, Chris Gentry, and Vin Abadie have formed a powerful alliance, and are poised to take their music to the next level. \"It\'s been a great journey so far, and we have so many hurdles to overcome,\" says lead singer/guitar player Blake Self. After initially recording a 3 song EP titled \"SHATTERED\" the band began to write and compose more songs. Five new songs were written for the SILVER LINING EP, and were quickly followed by three more songs released on THE RENASCENCE EP. In the summer of 2007, VENTURE returned to Florida, and began production for the release of their first full length CD, THE PRISONER. VENTURE was fortunate to work with some amazing producers on their first album. Justin Thomas (Faktion), Brett Hestla (Creed, Dark New Day), and Beau Hill (Ratt, Warrant, Winger, Alice Cooper, Bob Dylon) all have contributed greatly to their success.\"Brett has been instrumental in shaping our sound, and his ideas and suggestions always have a huge impact on our overall sound...he really is an amazing guy!\" says Blake. THE PRISONER was released in September 2007, and their title track, The Prisoner, gained instant praise ...
