featuring: Mike Stern, Chris Morrison, Authur Lipner & Johnny Durkins !!!
STEVE CLARKE TRIO + is a 3 piece Funky-Jazz-Jam Band.
Pat Marafiote -Keys (Larry Coryell, Dave Weckl)
Steve Clarke -Bass (myspace.com/steveclarke)
Chris Stanley -Drums (George Benson, Anthony Jackson)
It is his 7th release on Hop-N-Bop Records and is being well
received by fans in U.S. and Europe.
The inter play of this trio is quite noticeable, performing together the
last 4 years and doing three European tours as a trio has paid off. The
grooves and improvisations throughtout the recording flow naturally and
seamlessly into and out of the compositions.
The new CD kicks into high gear right from the start with Clarke’s title
track from his previous CD “Can You Hear Me Now”, where Mike Stern and his
lyrical approach to the guitar take the melody and then solo were sparks
start to fly !
Also you find Stern weaving in, out & thru on "Cesky Polevka" (Czech Soup)
as well as Pat displaying his knowledge and musical skills on organ. It is a
true treat.
Also, one of jazz's best kept secrets, guitarist Chris Morrison brings his
fluent bebop soloing and funky rhythmic playing to "I Just Wanna
& "Insurgents".
Vibraphonist Authur Lipnor bounces his melodic rhythms on "City
Strolling and "Hypocrisy". He brings a special flavor to the overall
songs. On "City Strolling you also find drummer Chris Stanley
swinging & funking, before giving us a beautiful & dynamic solo.
Percussionist Johnny Durkins works his magic in & around Chris to
make the rhythm section complete and the pocket locked on all songs.
Also the new CD takes advantage of the writing skills of keyboardist
Pat Marafiote, penning two compositions (“Hypocriscy” & “Baghdad
Bob”) and drummer Chris Stanley, provides one, ( “My Passion”).
The Trio also wrote together “Insurgents”, a composition with startling
dynamics, moods and swings from pianissimo to fortissimo and back again.
This is by far one of Steve's best recordings and the players bring
all the composition to life.

The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

Sarah Vaughan: A New Box Set Revels In Glorious Imperfections
Divine: The Jazz Albums, 1954-1958 packs four CDs with Vaughan's music, recorded live or in the studio with bands big and small. Two live albums from Chicago nightclubs are standouts, partly when a performance threatens to slide off the rails.Rudresh Mahanthappa On Piano Jazz
Mahanthappa brings an explosive blend of jazz and South Indian classical music to the studio.Grady Tate On Piano Jazz
Grady Tate began his jazz career as a much-celebrated drummer, backing such icons as Wes Montgomery, Ella Fitzgerald, and Quincy Jones. Tate has since traded in his skins for a microphone at center stage, where he delivers smooth and soulful baritone vocals. With pianist John di Martino, Tate sings "Everybody Loves My Baby" and "Where Do You Start."Woody Herman At 100: 'A Blues Player From His Heart'
He was a soulful reedman, an amazing talent scout for decades and a bandleader of one of the country's most popular acts. Born in 1913, Herman led "Thundering Herds" that were both big draws and well-respected by the likes of Igor Stravinsky. Here are five recordings which still sound fresh today.Edmar Castañeda And Friends On JazzSet
Hear passionate improvisation across borders on Colombian harp, Argentinian bandoneón, Venezuelan cuatro and vibes from the U.S. In a set with Castañeda, his trio and special guests perform at the Americas Society in New York.© 2013 Created by Jaijai Jackson.
