MARTY Q
Table for Two
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

Mountain Top Music

A very tasty collection of songs here by Santa Cruz, CA writer, musician and producer
Pete Lacey. The self-titled debut is classy and sophisticated and brings to mind the classics of Chuck Mangione, Maynard Ferguson and David Foster as far as the melodies and instrumentation goes, however, while the sensibilities of Pete’s music may be timeless, the notions are new and contemporary...

Mizar
Natural Design
Beagle Beat Records

My favorite thing about new music is that there seems to be no reservations when it comes to blending genres… Budapest, Hungary’s Jazz-Pop trio Mizar is no exception to this kind of genre-merging with their progressive mixture of jazz, eighties pop, funk and world music. NATURAL DESIGN is the band’s international debut showcasing their cool, jazzy musical offerings...

Hungary’s Peet Project delivers jazz, pop and funk with driving force…. The music is built around Peter “Peet” Ferencz's funky violin… creating the band’s signature sound.
