| | Julien Kaspar Band New Imperial CD Julien Kaspar Band Discography of CDs
FROM THE CITY OF BOSTON: JAZZ MEETS ROCK Hailing from Boston, MA, Julien Kasper is a "guitarist's guitarist," a musician with the ability and tonal know-how to move seamlessly through rock, jazz and blues with improvisational spirit, soul and true virtuosity. "Kasper displays . . . righteous control, dead-on phrasing, progressive composition and savvy ears. This guy is really, really good!" —Guitar Player Magazine. With THE NEW IMPERIAL, an entirely instrumental offering, Julien not only flaunts his blistering guitar chops but also crafts memorable melodies and grooves. On occasions there are elements reminiscent of "Blow by Blow" era Jeff Beck and "Band of Gypsies" Hendrix, interwoven with Julien's individual jazz leanings. Bucking trends of digital editing and excessive production, THE NEW IMPERIAL was recorded live in studio to analog tape. Blues and jazz fans in the US and Europe became aware of Julien through his work with virtuoso pianist and Hammond B3 organist Bruce Katz. He recorded two CDs with the Bruce Katz Band on Audioquest: "Mississippi Moan" and "Three Feet Off the Ground", and toured extensively throughout the US and Europe. Julien has also recorded with Mighty Sam McClain: "Journey" and "Soul Survivor" on Telarc. Julien released his debut recording, "Flipping Time", in 2003 to critical praise. Julien was born in France to American parents and spent his youth as an army child moving around the American south. Inspired by Bob Dylan and the Beatles, he took up the guitar at the age of eight and was largely selftaught until his first jazz lessons at age 18. In his professional life he has lived in Texas and Florida. He is now based in Boston, Massachusetts, a city to which he was initially lured by a teaching position in the Guitar department at Berklee College of Music. His classes at Berklee consist of curriculum he has developed on creative applications of melodic and harmonic materials, advanced blues/rock/jazz guitar techniques, and his perennially popular Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck performance labs. He is a recognized authority on the playing of these two masters. The European release of THE NEW IMPERIAL coincides with a performance and clinic by the Julien Kasper Band at the International Guitar Festival in London on May 1 st and 2nd, 2006. The band, which features first-call Boston musicians Zac Casher on drums and Blendi Dhami on bass, will continue with tours in the US and Europe in support of the release. "His talent for melody is phenomenal, and his band tighter than most working groups today. . . Kasper gives us a sound we can't help but listen to." —jazzreview.com All tracks by Julien Kasper except 4 and 11 Kasper/Casher. Julien Kaspar Band New Imperial Songs | 1. | The J.B. Groove |

New Imperial
$24.95 While Avril Lavigne's 2002 debut, LET GO, arrived amidst a tidal wave of teen female performers, the 17-year-old Canadian singer/songwriter managed to distinguish herself with a punk-rock attitude tempered by a hooky pop sensibility. Lavigne's sound reached a remarkably wide audience, even inspiring indie-rock icon Liz Phair to openly pattern her next record after it.
With her 2004 follow-up, UNDER MY SKIN, Lavigne makes it clear which side of the pop-rock precipice she's standing on. Instead of pop producers such as the Matrix, Lavigne aligns herself with Our Lady Peace frontman Raine Maida and Linkin Park producer Don Gilmore. The result is a much more complex record--an angst-ridden, soul-searching album that rocks with fury without losing a keen ear for melody. This is clear from the outset with the brooding, lushly orchestrated, guitar-driven opening track "Take Me Away." However, while the music has significantly matured, Lavigne's lyrics still possess the same sense of teenage confusion and frustration so charming on her debut. UNDER MY SKIN is an impressive step for the ...

As a solo singer songwriter, he is a 3 time finalist at the Sierra Songwriters Festival in Sonora CA, a 2 time finalist at the Founders Title Folk and Bluegrass Festival in Park City UT, a finalist at the Sisters Music Festival in Sisters OR, and finalist at the Tumbleweed Music Festival in Richalnd WA. He will happily tell you that his father’s name was also David Lynch, and further that he holds no animosity whatsoever for anyone else in the film or music business with the same name. David spent 5 weeks in Austin, Texas and 5 weeks in Nashville, Tennessee trying to reach the self imposed goal of 100 live shows. Based on the quality of his first solo release he was invited to join in for “writers night” at the Bluebird Cafe (holy ground for songwriters, and writer’s night is by invitation only). He played every week while in Nashville, and has made several trips back to play the Bluebird since making the move to the Central Coast of California. DOZEN.....David Lynch’s 3rd album of original songs (2 covers on this one) features the fantastic Dobro work of Frank Duncan, and the outstanding Mandolin stylings of Mark Travis.
