Pure Imagination
$13.29 “Gospel That Swings” With Rusty BovaFounder and Internationally Acclaimed Christian Jazz Clarinetist. Rusty Bova’s love for music was highly influenced by his parent’s enjoyment of big band music. But when his parents introduced the recordings of the legendary Benny Goodman, his life would be impacted in a major way.During the Fifth grade, Rusty met with the local band instructor for the new season band round up. The band instructor told Rusty that he would make a great trombone player. Astounded, Rusty said, “No! I want to play the clarinet like Benny Goodman!” From that point forward and no turning back, his Dad purchased a wooden clarinet.In addition to regular clarinet lessons, His Mom would play the old 78-phonograph recording of Benny Goodman’s “My Blue Heaven”. She would sing every note of the song so Rusty could find the notes and play them. After grueling attempts and many honks and squeaks “My Blue Heaven” became Rusty’s first big band song. Later his parents introduced another clarinet great, Pete Fountain and Sax legend, Boots Randolph. By this time, Rusty started to learn the meaning, “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.” Rusty pursued an early professional career in Musical Instrument Repair. This pursuit became the beginning of over three decades as a Music Store & Model Train Shoppe, Music Educator and Business Owner. www.ChooChooMusic.netPrior to graduating from the State University College of Fredonia, NY as a Music Education Major, Rusty was a member of the Fredonia Clarinet Ensemble, the Fredonia Jazz Ensemble ...

$18.99 If you think Jazz-Rock is so yesterday, you haven't heard this band! What you get is indeed lots of odd meters and long, worked out compositions, so you might think "Ok, another bunch of guys who only want to show off", but watch out! This band has taste, it grooves pretty hard and luckily thery are young enough to have missed out the 'slick 80's fusion' experience."Eleven Windows" is Andy Arnold's second album as a leader. All tracks ...

| | Tea For Julie Sense In Tying Knots CD (2008)
Pure Imagination
$16.45 When we’re teenagers, we can’t wait to get as far away from home as possible. We move to far off cities and build our new identities. For most of us, it doesn’t take that long for home to follow us whether we like it or not. It creeps back in and tugs at our instincts. This supplies the drive to plant roots and to find home again. We look to our surroundings, our friends, loved ones and within ourselves for whatever was lost along the way. This explains “The Sense in Tying Knots”. The title of Tea for Julie’s second album not only sums up this motif that runs throughout it’s lyrical content but also marks the experience for the generation experiencing it. On this record we see invaluable addition of Travis Stanek to the band’s line-up and the help of producer Ken Erlick in the Studio. The songs touch on many genres and influences but denote a common mindset and life experience. They show great depth and maturation from 2005’s Division. This is clearly an album where the song comes first. The success of Tea for Julie’s first album “Division” was a quick surprise. It was self-released, produced and funded. Within months, KEXP, Seattle’s favorite indie radio station had not only discovered the record but had become smitten. In reaction to overwhelming ...
