Not only does she have a very pretty voice and a fine set of influences (a previous release was a tribute to Abbey Lincoln), but Kendra Shank is also a true creative spirit. MOSAIC isn't another half-ballad/half-uptempo-tunes release--it's something of a concept album, with themes of wistful recollection and looking ahead, mixing originals with standards old and new. Her band is anchored by ace pianist Frank Kimbrough (as lyrical as they come), with guest appearances by guitarist Ben Monder and saxophonist Billy Drewes. With this release, Shank is no longer a mere contender but a major player.

Mosaic album
 $12.85 
Catdaddy Jones, a busman's holiday for four veteran New York sidemen, Geoff Worton, M.D. Meyer, Steve Merola, and Paul Bisbano, is a straight-ahead blues-rock band in a familiar style. The promotional sheet for their debut album, Late Night in the Doghouse, says, "Think the Asbury Jukes with a grittier singer and Jeff Beck on guitar!," and among the "key selling points" is this: "Record will appeal to fans of Steve Winwood, Rod Stewart, Memphis soul and urban blues." But these comparisons are not quite on the mark. In fact, if one were to listen to Late Night in the Doghouse without any information about the artists involved, it would be easy, at least the first time through, to suppose that the disc was some ...
| | Tierney Sutton Dancing In The Dark: Inspired By The Music Of Frank Sinatra CD (2004)
Mosaic CD music
$15.29 
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
This isn't Sutton's tribute to Sinatra, although all the material here was recorded and made famous by him. Instead, it's her working through the nooks and crannies of his songbook, and bringing things out and putting her own particular polish on them. It could be something with strings, such as "What'll I Do?" or the intimacy of "I'll Be Around," which is as much a plea as a reassurance and resignation. Her version of ...

Good music was scarcely available. I was very lucky to have an older cousin who introduced me to a wide variety of classic and progressive rock at an early age. Since there were no adequate teachers for the guitar, I had to teach myself, through books and by careful listening. Around this time I met Aamir Zaki, an extremely talented guitarist who inspired and influenced me tremendously. Soon after, I left to attend University in Los Angeles to study Mechanical Engineering.Being in LA exposed me to a lot of great music and it was invigorating. Around this time I was listening to and playing a lot of Jazz so I signed up for the college jazz band. The guy leading the band was a LA jazz legend by the name of Buddy Collette. Buddy was an amazing musician. I remember being totally dumbfounded the first day and then I slowly started learning my way around. One day after a performance at the University, some guys from a local band called “Stonewheat” approached me. They wanted me to join their band as a lead guitarist. The music they played consisted of some originals and some covers of Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones etc. It was right up my alley and I readily accepted. We did quite a few gigs around LA and toured a bit. It was great fun.It was now my senior year in Engineering and I was going to graduate soon. Out of curiosity I enrolled ...
