| | Hal Lansing Kendra's Manhattan CD Hal Lansing Discography of CDs
Two of the three musicians on this CD are accomplished pianists and composers who attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. Ido Waksman is a successful artist in the Los Angeles area who, as a Berklee student during 1996-1997, wrote "The ... Full DescriptionD.C. Gig" as an academic course exercise. That course was then and still today is entitled "The Music of the Yellowjackets." After over 10 years, The D. C. Gig still holds up as one of the finer jazz-fusion works of the latter 20th century. Moreover, it bears repeated listening, not only for its high value as a work of art, but also for its instructive value to anyone who has ever heard the music of Yellowjackets and wondered "How do those guys do that?" The D. C. Gig is track 5 on this CD and it's Ido's original 1996 recording featuring Norihiko Hibino on soprano saxophone. Doctor Bob Agnew was born in Cincinnati, was raised and has lived in the Pompano Beach area of south Florida since 1947. His musical career spans over five decades with early expertise on trumpet, tenor sax and strings. By high school, he was composing for a 90-piece school orchestra. By the early 60's, he was performing in college concerts as a jazz pianist had developed a close friendship with Jaco Pastorius as Jaco's music tutor. That relationship spawned music history when Jaco exploded onto the world's jazz-fusion scene. Bob attended Berklee in 1962-63, studied music at University of Florida in 1963-65, and became a practicing eye doctor. His compositions are lush, moodful works. Tracks 2, 4, 6 and 8 are his recordings. He previously published a larger collection of works on a CD entitled "Under Full Sail" produced on his 56-foot sailing ketch, Sea Sharp. Hal Lansing, the host of this compact disc session, is also featured on tracks 1, 3, 7 and 9. Those compositions are a unique blend of jazz, Latin and modern classical selections. The title of this CD was inspired by the movie, Anger Management, starring, among others, Adam Sandler. Check out the scene in which he makes a date at a bar with Kendra (played by Heather Graham). You'll note that Kendra's drink of choice is a Manhattan cocktail. This CD spotlights Ido Waksman and Bob Agnew, two composers who have been inspired to help elevate our senses to a higher plane and keep our elusive "devil" at bay. Knowingly or not, they continue to do noble work among us and deserve wider recognition. They are publishing some of their music here on the Lifetime Stuff Music label which is proud to have this opportunity to debut it.

Well here it is. The CD that you have been expecting. Yes ET did phone home and called up his big brother BT. In the the bible they are called the host of heaven, from the ends of heaven (you know God's sanctified ones). In either case, this music ushers in a new abstract in jazz. Just combine Herbie Hancocks' "Future Shock", Devos' "Whip It" and Miles Davis and you have the vibe for this instrumental set.In this cd I was trying to accomplish an "Other Worldly" environment that would challenge my fellow instrumentalist ideology about music. Also, for you fans of the Jazz Apokalypse, this muse takes the envelope a little further than before. I recall back in 2001 my first (and hopefully last) encounter with an extra terrestrial craft (so I believed).After running over to my favorite pizzaria, jumping out of the car to go into the house to watch a movie, a voice said "Look Up". Yep, dummy that I was, I looked up. This object round, about the size of a new VW beetle was slowly tumbling like a wheel over the back side of my ...
| | Ka'Hryn Hatablockaz CD (2007)
Kendra's Manhattan album
$6.39
Ka’hrynBorn to a Jamaican-Panamanian mother and a Jamaican-Chinese father, Ka’hryn began her journey to stardom in Bronx, New York. Ever since the R&B songstress performed as Lauryn Hill in her churches reenactment of Sister Act II, she knew she wanted to become a star. “It just felt right…I was only 12, but I had never felt that comfortable before.” Realizing what she wanted to do with her life, it came as no surprise that she followed her dreams immediately following high school. A chance encounter would allow Ka’hryn the opportunity to become a member of the girl group, Bellisima Rose, which seemed very promising. However, after stalled negotiations and a series of different group members, Bellisima Rose, ultimately disbanded, but this did not slow down Ka’hryn’s career.Grooming for this moment her entire life, Ka’hryn has been no stranger to the spotlight. A classically trained dancer beginning her training at the Harlem School of the Arts, she has been trained in ballet, tap and jazz since the age of three. Since 2003 she has held seven pageant titles including becoming the first African-American Miss Cities of America Teen. “I was so excited when they called my name as the winner. There were over 400 girls competing against me but I’d worked really hard to prepare. At that point in my life, I was coming out of my girl group situation and I had to pull from everywhere just to compete. Winning just reaffirmed that there is nothing impossible ...
