Referring here to the threshold between stages of a transformative process, "Liminality" celebrates that zone where creative discovery and possibility can thrive, through long-form compositions rife with unfolding melodies, elegiac set pieces, or straight-ahead romps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5fafd9b91449401e3064a5/1558475920946-SN8QWC0BS40WCI7H5994/do_i_know_u.jpg Discography - Do I Know You-Sasha Bayan (2014) 40+ instruments, 35 musicians, 9 songs, 1 vision. A contemporary pop album influenced by jazz, classical, hindustani, and the blues. Do I Know You? traces the trajectory of love across its various permutations. From infatuation and concern to obsessions with fame and power, the themes of each song take the listener through a journey of highs and lows. The unique blend of acoustic instrumentals, spirited vocals, and dramatic lyrics promises to deliver a fresh perspective on songwriting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5fafd9b91449401e3064a5/1581399854190-PEHUKUX0ZK3VPZMTB1GI/HIRES_WBD_SquareCoverOnly+SMALL.jpg Discography - Wake Before Dawn - Kitt Lyles (2020) Emily Kuhn- trumpet, tracks 2, 3, 5, 6, & 7 Justin Copeland- trumpet, tracks 2, & 4 Roy McGrath- tenor sax Chris Shuttleworth- trombone Erik Skov- electric and nylon-string guitar Joaquin Garcia- piano, tracks 2, 5, fender rhodes, track 6 Evan Swanson- piano, tracks 4, 7 Kitt Lyles- bass, vocals Gustavo Cortiñas- drums Yuri Hevia- bombo leguero, track 5 Tracks 1 & 2 featuring Twin Courage: Rachael Gallman- vocals Jaron Ferrer- vocals Track 5 featuring Son Monarcas Mercedes Inez Martinez: vocals Irekani Ferreyra: requinto jarocho String Quartet on tracks 2 & 4 Susan Miller- violin Felipe Tobar- violin Hilary Butler- viola Daniel Hoppe- cello https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5fafd9b91449401e3064a5/1558475319056-COAK30BYSVRT9RATQ6MU/Roy_McGrath_Disc_Design_FOR_PRINT_FINAL.jpg Discography - Remembranzas - Roy McGrath Quartet (2017) A contemporary Jazz approach to Puerto Rican folklore mixed with a taste of Chicago Jazz.

Abud: A Band creates conversations developing diversions ever eclectically for 5+5 grand, gleeful, hilarious, hashed-out instances. If jokes jostle kings, kinda lets laymen make more now. Not open overmuch, pleasing pathos-ridden rhymes, sonic somnambulist tracks titillate ultimately under various vocal wonderment. With xylophones, xylitol, yeets, yams, zips, zero actions basically come close. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5fafd9b91449401e3064a5/1558475259279-11A9SM3HF2P85REIMTVF/Gustavo_Front_Cover_REVISED.jpg Discography - Esse - Gustavo Cortinas (2017) "A fascinating musical realization, exploration, and distillation of the works of Hegel, Aristotle, Descartes, Plato, and other brilliant minds...statements that are both studious and thought-provoking in nature...Gustavo Cortinas has worked everything out in his musical neck of the woods." - Dan Bilawski - All About Jazz Justin Copeland - trumpet Artie Black - tenor sax Roy McGrath - tenor sax Adam Thornburg - trombone Hans Luchs - guitar Joaquín García - pianoKitt Lyles - bassGustavo Cortiñas - drums and cymbals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5fafd9b91449401e3064a5/1558475690659-6ANS59P47X7L304033I6/Fine+Subs.jpg Discography - Kingfisher EP - Fine Subterraneans (2016) Wayne Sanchez https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5fafd9b91449401e3064a5/1558475884118-E74OQIGRFPPLW8Q388O0/scrumptious.jpg Discography - Scrumptious - Karen Willough (2018) Arranged for big band, “Scrumptious," is Karen's first CD includes a swing version of “Whispering," most famously recorded by Paul Whiteman in 1920, as well as a sultry rendition of the 1975 Orleans song “Dance with Me."
