Arturo O’Farrill & Claudia Acuna | In These Shoes

Arturo & Claudia

Arturo & Claudia

On his fourth ZOHO release, internationally renowned jazz pianist, arranger, composer, and bandleader Arturo O’Farrill teams up with sultry Chilean vocalist Claudia Acuña on a breezy, sunshine-filled set of 12 Latin standards, hit songs, and show tunes.

A pure, compelling, and original voice hailed by the LA Times as an “instrument of wonder,” Acuña fuses Latin rhythms with her instinctive jazz sensibilities.

2006 Grammy nominee O’Farrill has been on the forefront of genre-crossing, multi-cultural Latin jazz for decades.- Amazon.com

David Dyson | Unleashed

David Dyson

From the New Kids on the Block to Me’Shell N’degeocello, Dyson is a bona-fide force in the bass world (in my opinion, a criminally lesser known name to many, tho.  Every bass player should be well aware of David Dyson).  I had the pleasure of meeting Dave through a mutual friend (and killer bassist Steve Jenkins) at a NAMM show a few years back and am happy to report that he’s also a VERY cool guy.  Do a search on youtube or visit his myspace page and you’ll find a plethora of wonderful videos showing us all what the pocket is really about.  I was very excited to hear a mix of his upcoming CD “Unleashed!” and I wasn’t disappointed in the least! – Damian Erskine /Bass Musician Magazine
