MARTY Q
Table For 2
martyq.net

While the statement, “those who can’t sing… play” is usually true, this is not the case for saxophonist Marty Q. On his new disc, TABLE FOR 2, you’re sure to be wowed by his soulful vocals and some of the sweetest sax tones to hit Smooth Jazz. This is evidenced on “True Blue,” a rousing duet with R&B singer Leila. Equally as engaging is the primarily instrumental bonus track of the same song. “Love Serenade” offers up a cool groove, while the fun and funky vibe of “New Beginnings” is delightfully embellished with old school scatting (think: Manhattan Transfer). “Eclipse” is a syncopated ditty with a big metropolitan, straight-ahead-jazz feel that’ll keeps you coming back to it. Produced by Chris “Big Dog” Davis, TABLE FOR 2 features a balanced menu of stellar soprano, alto and tenor sax work and an amuse-bouche from guest vocalist Phil Perry. With this release, Marty Q is on the springboard to stardom! ~BROOKS WALKER

Frank Jones
It's All About Me
Independent

Self taught to the music of artists such as the Ventures and Duane Eddy, instrumental music remains his passion and every note on the EP exudes that passion ...

LR-60 & Mr. Moods - Ultraviolence

LR-60 & Mr. Moods
Ultraviolence
Independent

A very chilled out vibe emotes from LR-60 & Mr. Moods’ new collection of tunes on ULTRAVIOLENCE… industrial sexy if you will. I love the way chill and lounge-inspired music is heading. Gone are the days when there was just a cold pulse and soulless beat…maybe it’s the warmth of LR-60’s divine trumpet playing...

Marc Stagger - Then & Now

Marc Staggers
Then & Now
MargReg Records

My first thought on hearing Marc Staggers’ music was, “Now he gets it… that music is not just about hearing, it’s about feeling.” Every note of THEN & NOW goes deep into the heart of the listener, touching and comforting the very soul. The Washington DC based singer/songwriter with his resonant, rich voice is predominantly known for his work in the gospel arena (Mom and Pop Winans, Clifton Dyson), but effortlessly...
