NORMAN BROWN
Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Norman Brown continues his Grammy® winning
ways on Stay With Me, his very first album for the Peak Records label.
This breezy, warm collection of ten original tunes offers a heaping helping of
what the smoothly inventive guitar technician is known for: Tasty grooves,
ear-caressing melodies, and delicious contemporary guitar licks that manage
to evoke the spirit of the classic jazz guitar giants who first inspired him.
EUGE GROOVE
Born 2 Groove, the title of Euge Groove’s new Narada Jazz recording and his
fifth release in seven years, is more than simply a clever twist on the popular
saxophonist’s funky stage name. True to the soulful, uplifting spirit of the
collection—his first ever recorded in High Definition Audio—it reflects Euge’s
belief that everyone comes into this world with unique abilities and special
gifts. “If we are fortunate enough to have great people around encouraging
us,” he says, “those natural abilities can be nurtured along.”RICHARD SMITH
As a world renowned solo artist, composer and arranger, Richard Smith has
earned such accolades as a nomination for best jazz album of the year (Ad
Lib Magazine, 1989), best new artist (Radio and Records Magazine, 1990) and
three Top 5 Jazz albums. His specialty is in contemporary jazz, studio guitar
techniques, music technology and commercial music.Just Added!

Already a familiar and exciting force on
the contemporary jazz scene for years
as keyboardist and musical director for

Good was the genre’s major story of 2006.

piano melodies, bright jazz improvisations
and spirited funk grooves, Simpson keeps the
extraordinary momentum hopping —
and,
true to the moniker he chose for the album,
soaring —
with Above The Clouds.PAUL "SHILTS" WEIMAR
