Tatoom |
|
| Artist: |
Andy Narell |
 |
| Description: |
New from Andy Narell - "Tatoom - Music for Steel Orchestra" w/special guests Mike Stern - guitar, David Sanchez - tenor sax, and Luis Conte - congas, percussion. Mark Walker and Jean Philippe Fanfant - drums.
“Given the difficulty of conceiving and executing the vision behind Tatoom, only Narell’s perfectionism could have made it a reality—creating the sound of an entire steel pan orchestra recording in a single studio, when in actuality Narell recorded in a single instrument at a time in multiple locations. The result is a gem.”
JazzReview.com
“Andy Narell has made so many cool albums of jazzy steel pan (aka steel drum) music through the years he is practically a genre unto himself at this point. A musician of tremendous skill and consummate good taste, Narell takes the pans places they’ve never been before, so far beyond the limited palette of calypso it barely seems like the same instrument.”

Yahboy! |
|
| Artist: |
Gary Gibson |
 |
| Description: |
Gary Gibson's third CD features his new band ("Yahboy!"), along with numerous other special guest musicians. This CD is reflective of his 2004 "Pan Pilgrimage" to Trinidad, but the compositions remain jazz-based and as harmonically intricate as his first two CDs ("My Two Cents" and "CounterMelodies").
Gibson's new band, "Yahboy," is comprised of himself on pans and percussion, Richard Warner on flute and soprano saxophone, Steve Rice on piano and keyboards, Dean Schmidt on electric basses, and Mark Ivester on drums. Guest musicians on the CD include Rich Cole on tenor saxophone, Bill Anschell on piano, Dawn Clement on piano, Chuck Deardorf on bass, Michael Bento on double seconds pans, and Jeff Busch on percussion.
You'll enjoy this CD. Like his previous efforts, it has enough depth and detail to satisfy the most critical ears, yet enough aesthetic value to please the casual listener."
