New Orleans-based jazz musician and crooner Harry Connick, Jr. has suffered a fair degree of criticism from jazz aficionados for his commercially oriented vocal outings. Borrowing a great deal from the style of Frank Sinatra, Connick's vocal albums are well crafted and listenable, if not always adventurous. Those critics will have cause to button their lips, however, because Connick has released OCCASION: CONNICK ON PIANO, VOL. 2 (the follow-up to 2003's OTHER HOURS: CONNICK ON PIANO, VOL. 1), a dazzling instrumental outing that emphasizes the artist's improvisational chops.

To make matters even better, Connick has collaborated here with fellow New Orleans native and saxophonist extraordinaire Branford Marsalis. One of the finest horn players of his generation, Marsalis has a bold tone, broad range, and an admirably adventurous approach to the tenor and soprano sax. Marsalis contributes two tunes here, the lightly swinging title track and "Steve Lacy," a lovely, plaintive tribute to the great soprano saxophonist. The rest of the compositions are by Connick, and reveal his too-often-overlooked technical expertise and keen ear for melody. The rapport between the two is intelligent, sensitive, and never less than engaging, making OCCASION one of the best offerings in Connick's discography.

Down Beat (p.86) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[I]t has significant entertainment value since both musicians are engaging instrumental conversationalists."
JazzTimes (p.63) - "Simultaneously cerebral and playful, and with hands chock full of inventiveness, Connick uses this release to explore space and harmony with a wonderfully sympathetic partner..."

Gizzard Denise! CD  (2001)

Occasion CD music
CD $8.55
Gizzard was created in 1990 by guitarist Chris Strawn and sax-player Brian Hicks. Bouncing between Atlanta and Jacksonville, the band evolved through many members into its final three-member platoon (Chris Strawn: guitar & vocals; Taylor Griffin: bass; Vince Coursey: drums & percussion) which played its final show in 2000. Strawn went on to co-found Brass Castle in Atlanta later that same year. Releases included the out-of-print, Kramer-produced e.p "Let 'em Die"(1995) as well as the "This Is This" e.p.(1996) and the full length cd's, WE DID SOME THINGS (1998) and KILL AND REISSUE (1999). They're all ghetto-punked, southern rock and roll manifestos with wild structures, incessant hooks, and excellent sax work from Hicks.The band finished its last collection of songs as a trio in 2000. The result was DENISE! It was Gizzard's final and most meticulously produced album of music, appropriate for midnight deer shining runs, high speed Autobahn lovin', or any activity involving split second decisions. Scars of Jacksonville, brother.If ...

Children’s Music GRAMMY® Award winners CATHY Fink & MARCY Marxer fuse their talents with Washington, DC’s hip-hop sensation Christylez Bacon in a fresh new recording for kids & families. What happens? Beatbox (mouth drums) meets the banjo, nursery rhyme meet the hip-hop fractured fairy tale and tradition meets the next generation of contemporary “hip” with the new video-enhanced EP and music download - Banjo to Beatbox, available May 2009.With nods to folk, rap and imagination, these artists show us that through music, our different neighborhoods (and musical styles) can come together.Christylez Bacon is a hip-hop artist you WANT your family to see and hear. He rhymes, raps, beatboxes and plays percussion and banjo ukulele in the trio.CATHY & MARCY'S preeminence in family music has been recognized with over 200 Awards, including 2 GRAMMY® Awards in Children’s Music. Their reputation for bringing new music with ever-broadening appeal continues with this collaboration. www.cathymarcy.comSo, how did Cathy & Marcy, internationally renowned folk and children’s music veterans, connect with a 23 year old hip-hop artist from SE Washington, DC? Cathy & Marcy were artists in the first residency program in 2005 at the Music Center at Strathmore in Maryland, continuing with the program as artist mentors. In 2007, Christylez Bacon became an artist in residence at the age of 21. His music captivated the duo, his stage presence delighted all audiences and his personal directive to use his rhyming and beatbox for totally diverse collaborations was apparent. After a little banjo and beat box jam, Cathy & Marcy were joining Christylez at an open mic in downtown Washington, DC. Then, he joined the duo at a prestigious Old Time Banjo Festival. When they collectively composed the “Hip-Hop Humpty Dumpty,” they knew something special was going on. More happy and crowd-pleasing songs followed one after the other, and a full 8-song EP emerged."Beatbox is a new roots music, with urban origins but based on a long tradition of African ...
