GEORGIA'S WORLD [4:47] - Todd Mosby (Mosby Music Group - BMI)

Listening to Georgia’s World gives the same experience as studying Georgia O’Keeffe’s artworks; one cannot help thinking that this is indeed a genuine masterpiece! The blues guitar and the Rhodes piano, similar to the mid-section on The Doors’ Riders on the Storm I think, invite us into this unique and incredibly well-crafted track. The melody is easygoing and light, making the listener hang on to each note. Georgia’s World is, in short, a winner from start to finish. - BT Fasmer, New Age Music Guide

*****
The town where Georgia O'Keeffe once lived, Abiqui was a place where she found unending inspiration for her paintings. - TM

A DISTANT LIGHT - Todd Mosby (Mosby Music Group, LLC - BMI)

A Distant Light At this stage, the album changes pace. The delicate A Distant Light gives time to reflect on everything we have experienced this far and ponder about what’s next. Adrienne Woods’ cello and Mosby’s electric guitar engage in a wonderful duet that will illuminate even a dark room. - BT Fasmer, New Age Music Guide

*****
The evening star seen just after sunset in a Western sky was the inspiration for this musical reflection. - TM

NATIVE DANCER [5:01] - Todd Mosby (Mosby Music Group, LLC - BMI)

Talking about movement; Native Dancer seems to incorporate the two tracks we just heard, and somehow takes it all into a new and creative direction – much thanks to the Imratguitar and sax. Where ever you might be, the landscape of New Mexico seems near. - BT Fasmer, New Age Music Guide

*****
A horseback ride out of Taoes Pueblo with a Zuni shaman was the inspiration for this piece along with a variation on an ancient Bhim Palasie melody by Imrat Khan for the A section. - TM

The first melody is a variation on an ancient theme given to me by guru-ji Imrat Khan from Raag Bhim Palsaie. The second melody I wrote as a contrast to Bhim Palasie and I used Raag Yamin Kalyan for this section. The harmonic structure of the tunes and melodies are true the the raag forms keeping a very traditional structural while still allowing soloist to move outside the form and still keep the raga sound. I really love the solo interplay with Tom Scott and myself while Vinnie and the band held a great groove. - TM

MOONRISE SAMBA [4:56] - Todd Mosby (Mosby Music Group, LLC - BMI)

The track fades beautifully into Moonrise Samba. I especially enjoy the jazzy, guitar driven melody. The Rhodes keyboard too shines brightly in the moonlight. Vinnie Colaiuta is, as usual, brilliant. We are in the company of world-class performers, no doubt about that. The warm and upscale piece makes it impossible to sit still. - BT Fasmer, New Age Music Guide

*****
Completed in a 1960’s vinatge Air Stream, under a starlit New Mexico night sky, this tune’s unique architchture is derived from Latin Soul, Samba and Sergio Mendes / Steely Dan influences. - TM

"Moonrise Samba by Todd Mosby is that jazz track you have been waiting all year long for, that heavenly delight of a symbiotic partnership of keyboards and fluent guitar, it is nothing less than mesmeric and totally unstoppable, here is a sure fire hit on the charts if I have ever heard one." - Steve Sheppard, One World Music

Drifting

A musical exploration into the many moods depicted by the beauty and variety of the mountains. Acoustic guitar based surrounded by a variety of instruments. 

Acoustic guitarist and composer Todd Mosby is joined by a stellar cast of guest artists on his newest release, "On Eagle Mountain". Besides standard acoustic guitar, Todd also plays the unique imrat guitar, a hybrid 20 stringed sitar guitar.

Recorded and produced at the acclaimed Imaginary Road Studios by the Ackerman/Eaton team (one of the most popular in instrumental music) "On Eagle Mountain" spans multiple genres (world, jazz, folk) and many moods (vibrant, serene, contemplative) and does so with fluid grace and artistic depth.

Joining Todd on the album are the following musicians:

Tony Levin: ns bass, electric basses
Charlie Bisharat: violin
Eugene Friesen: cello
Michael Manring: fretless bass
Jill Haley: english horn
Jeff Haynes: percussion
Premik R. Tubbs: soprano, wind synth
Noah Wilding: vocals
Tom Eaton: synth pads, singing bowls

What People are Saying:

"Todd Mosby incorporates more influences into his composition and performance on guitar than anyone I have ever worked with and he doesn't just dabble in those influences; he masters them. His knowledge of Indian music is quickly apparent, but his virtuosity in and love of jazz is equally present; along with with a graceful ease in bluegrass and folk music tradition.

Somehow he manages to synthesize these disparate elements into a singular musical voice that is unique in my experience... and 'unique ' is not a word I throw out easily or frequently. Sometimes, however, it's apt; as it is with Todd Mosby."

A slight variation on Old Susanna, I have always loved the sound of this music and the way in which it leads to improvisational development. This melody has a very ancient vibe to my ears.

August Light

When flying at night, the lights of small towns are visible and scattered sometimes by great distances. These lights are all connected. This is an analogy to the lights (spirit)  which shines in each of us. The lyric recalls places of  spiritual and personal significance.

Gliding

Todd Mosby is an award-winning musician who regularly collaborates with some of the most revered studio musicians in the industry. His music synthesizes the sounds of Missouri into a genre-defying, evocative language. A virtuoso musician with a painter’s imagination, Mosby uses jazz, folk, New Age, rock, blues, North Indian classical music, bossa nova, and more to create richly-textured geotemporal soundscapes.

Not many people know the rich and diverse musical heritage of Missouri. Bluegrass flows from the Ozark Mountains. Blues drifts in along the Mississippi River. Rock ‘n’ roll is part of the state’s DNA—after all, Missouri is the birthplace of Chuck Berry, the “Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll.” Jazz legends like Charlie Parker, Lester Young, and Pat Metheny are native sons. The “Show-Me State” has a lot to say for its musical legacy.
