Free download - Project Grand Slam posted by jazzlvr @ Wed, 08 Oct 2008 22:29:50 -0000

I love this smooth jazz group, and I’m awaiting their new album, “Play” which is being released Oct. 28th.

I wanted to share a free download I found of the single “Ode to Joy” off the new album, so I hope you enjoy it!

Allen55, as far as I can determine, pianist Harold Corbin recorded only once, as the leader of a trio that included bassist Spanky DeBrest and drummer Eddie Campbell. That session was originally released in 1961 on a Roulette LP titled “The Driving New Jazz Piano.” It was reissued in 2007 on an import CD (Toshiba EMI Japan 6176), retitled “Soul Brother,” and is available at Amazon.com. Check this out:

I AM LOOKING TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE WHO MAY HAVE HEARD OF, OR HEARD SOMETHING BY HAROLD CORBIN, A PIANO PLAYER WHO LIVE IN PHILLY WHEN HE PASSED AWAY, HIS WIFE’S NAME IS BETTY AND THEY LIVED IN THE MT. AIRY SECTION OF PHILLY. I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING HE DID AS A SIDEMAN OR IF HE HAD HIS OWN GROUP.

AccuRadio announces new jazz subchannels "Covering All the Bassists" & "Jazz Fusion" posted by AccuJazz @ Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:38:12 -0000

Leading webcaster AccuRadio.com recently made public two brand new internet jazz radio stations: “Covering All the Bassists” and “Jazz Fusion.” The two new radio streams join eleven current jazz subchannels ranging from the catch-all “All That Jazz” to “Piano Jazz,” and “New School.”

“Covering All the Bassists” joins “Piano Jazz,” “Saxophone Jazz,” “Jazz Vocals” and “Guitar Jazz” as an instrument-specific channel. While the jazz bassist is often relegated to a background role, the AccuRadio channel showcases music that puts the spotlight on these under-appreciated bottom-end players. Listeners will enjoy music from bass players who double as band leaders, like Charles Mingus, Ray Brown and Dave Holland. They will also hear music from other instrumentalists who give their bassists time to shine in solo spots.

“Jazz Fusion” joins “Old School,” “New School,” “Latin Infusion” and “West and Cool” as a genre-specific channel. The channel casts a large net into the world of jazz fusion, covering everything from early groove-jazz to jazz-rock and world fusion. Miles Davis’ early avant-garde experiments with jazz-rock play alongside John McLaughlin’s guitar wizardry and Medeski Martin and Wood’s ultra-hip neo-jazz.

AccuRadio and its jazz brand, AccuJazz, will begin rolling out over 20 new channels in the coming months, including more genre-specific, instrument-specific, and region-specific channels, as well as some other bizarre creations by the jazz programming team.
