"From the first bars of 'Argentina' you can tell this is not going to be your usual jazz endeavor: the tunes are skillfully crafted, with intricate meters and complex, unexpected forms. The influences borrow from a wide musical palette, with grooves and atmospheres suggestive of ambient or electronic music..."

Argentina is the second track on our debut recording called HUMANIZED.

Skinny Dippin'

The best way to express my sorrow is through music. This song, “A Tribute to David,” is very important to me. I recorded it in 2011 for my Bowie Variations album and haven’t performed it since. While the whole album was variations on David’s music, this one meant the most to me because I wrote it for him. It’s how I felt about David in musical terms. Though there’s no doubt I have more music for David coming, this is what I have to offer this morning. Please feel free to share this with others and respond with your memories, thoughts and feelings.

Tribute To David

Mike Garson played these songs live on January 20, 2016 for the KPFK radio program "Dear Mr Bowie" with host Maggie LePique. Production, sound and facilitation by Ali Lexa & Mark Maxwell.

Silver Collection 2 - Glen Campbell

Southern Nights (Remastered)

Chastity Brown melds folk, pop, soul and gospel on 'Silhouette of Sirens,' weaving together a poet’s lyrical ear and a raw soul-laid-bare quality. The album’s 10 original tracks introduce us to an exciting new voice — a songwriter of power and conviction who isn’t afraid to bare her heart as she sings of heartbreak, need and love. 

“Wake Up,” the first single, is a beat-heavy, minor key tune of longing where she sings, “Wake up honey, love — come on soon.”

Chastity Brown - Wake Up

November 13, 2016 - Today, once again heaven welcomes another musical genius. Leon Russell was one of my strong influences for pop music in 1970. I was in an opening act band called Brethren with Rick Marotta on drums ,Tommy Cosgrove vocals and Stu Woods bass. We opened for both Joe Cocker and Mad Dogs and Englishman who had Leon Russell playing piano and organ. I watched Leon many nights and it was pure joy. Both his voice and piano playing were so very inspiring.

In the early 90s, on one of my jazz albums called JAZZ HAT, I covered my favorite song of Leon's called "Song for You" which is a true classic. My version of the song was quite jazzy and out there. Very few people have ever my version because jazz albums hardly sell! Ha!

So here is my tribute to a beautiful artist…

Jazz Hat

A Song For You

I wanted to share a little piano solo version of Imagine i just did in honor of John Lennon - such a truly inspiring artist. We have lost so many great artists over the years - especially this year. I think we have no alternative but to make many new ones. Imagine...

Imagine

The lead track off their Red House Records album 'Transient Lullaby,' the song paints a portrait of two broken lovers who still manage to find a strange optimism in this challenging world.

Limited edition Willowbank 12"s are pressed on baby blue vinyl and include sheet music for album highlight 'Carnation’ printed on premium cotton paper. Select LPs will also include hidden entry tickets to invite-only release parties in New York City and Los Angeles, featuring live and DJ sets from the band. Pre-orders will ship the week of September 18.

Just over a year after releasing their lauded debut LP, Yoncalla, Yumi Zouma return with Willowbank, the band’s sophomore album. For the making of Willowbank, Yumi Zouma's members — Charlie Ryder, Josh Burgess, Christie Simpson and Sam Perry — settled on a plan to reunite for the New Zealand summer. To complete what would become their first significant work written and recorded entirely in their home country, they rented a studio in Christchurch’s semi-demolished CBD, on one of the few remaining blocks that still characterizes the city from before it was destroyed by a series of earthquakes. “It was as though there was a brief pause in all of our lives and we finally felt like a band from New Zealand,” said Burgess. “We were on home turf and creating from a place that felt fundamentally natural.” When you know it’s there, the feeling of rootedness is undeniable on Willowbank. Being connected to their origins on the bottom of the earth allowed the band’s members to craft another essential chapter in the Yumi Zouma storybook.
