1. Carolyn Graye – “The Footprints”
From the CD Poems By Denise Levertov (Pony Boy Records)
Carolyn is equally adept as a vocalist and pianist. Her latest CD is a very cool collection of tunes based on the poems of Denise Levertov. Surrounded by a first-call band of Phil Sparks on bass, John Stowell on guitar, Hans Teuber on sax and clarinet, Gary Hobbs on drums and percussion and Jim Knapp on trumpet, she lays down beautiful foundations for the poems. This track features great playing by all and a short poem at the very end of the track.
Upcoming gig: 9/18 at Egan’s, 7pm

2. Tim Kennedy – “Mingus in Springtime”
From the CD Where We Live (self-produced)
Tim will be bringing his trio to Vito’s this next week… you’ll have to go to the gig to find out who the sidemen are, but it’s a safe bet one of his two compadres in Gravity will be there…

4. Alex Guilbert — “Everywhere Stranger”
From the album “On The Ground” (self-produced)
Pianist Alex Guilbert is a regular at the New Orleans on Tuesdays with the Holotradband and also appears on rotation at Serafina, but it’s rare to hear him in trio format — thankfully he’s released a fabulous new record we are debuting here today, with more to come in the future.
