I had other things in mind. But as time progressed, I got to do other projects—putting together the Christian McBride Band and experimenting with a lot of different sounds and layers—and my focus returned to the duets idea.” Christian McBride, Conversations With Christian, Mack Avenue Records 2011-11-08T06:35:11-06:00 In The Zone http://www.mackavenue.com/catalog/detail/in_the_zone/ http://www.mackavenue.com/catalog/detail/in_the_zone/#When:06:02:40Z <a href="http://www.mackavenue.com/catalog/detail/in_the_zone/"><img src="http://www.mackavenue.com/images/uploads/catalog/3039/art7026_200__medium.jpg" align="left" height="200" width="200" alt="In The Zone" border="0" /></a>The reigning merchant of Soul Jazz, Richard Elliot invites loyal fans and newcomers alike to celebrate 25 years since the release of his debut album Trolltown. Where’s the party? Where else—In the Zone, a grooving, funked up, horn splashed collection that finds the energized-as-ever tenor saxophonist paying homage to the pioneering instrumental artists of his formative years (‘70s-early ‘80s) whose brilliance and musical innovations inspired his own. Richard Elliot, Artistry Music 2011-10-11T06:02:40-06:00 Friends http://www.mackavenue.com/catalog/detail/friends/ http://www.mackavenue.com/catalog/detail/friends/#When:06:13:01Z <a href="http://www.mackavenue.com/catalog/detail/friends/"><img src="http://www.mackavenue.com/images/uploads/catalog/3013/mac1062_200__medium.jpg" align="left" height="200" width="200" alt="Friends" border="0" /></a>In a career that took flight in 1985 with immediate commercial and critical acclaim, guitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan has consistently displayed a chameleonic musical persona of openness, imagination, versatility, respect and maverick daring. Be it bold reinventions of classical masterpieces or soulful explorations through pop-rock hits, to blazing straight ahead jazz forays and ultramodern improvisational works—solo or with a group—Jordan can always be counted on to take listeners on breathless journeys into the unexpected. Stanley Jordan, Mack Avenue Records 2011-09-27T06:13:01-06:00 The Good Feeling http://www.mackavenue.com/catalog/detail/the_good_feeling/ http://www.mackavenue.com/catalog/detail/the_good_feeling/#When:06:01:54Z <a href="http://www.mackavenue.com/catalog/detail/the_good_feeling/"><img src="http://www.mackavenue.com/images/uploads/catalog/3014/mac1053_200__medium.jpg" align="left" height="200" width="200" alt="The Good Feeling" border="0" /></a>In a stellar career that continues to showcase his remarkable talents as a consummate musician, bassist Christian McBride reaches another milestone with the release of The Good Feeling, his first big band recording as a leader and newest release for Mack Avenue Records. 2012 Grammy Nominees, Christian McBride, Mack Avenue Records 2011-09-27T06:01:54-06:00 Songs From The Chateau http://www.mackavenue.com/catalog/detail/songs_from_the_chateau/ http://www.mackavenue.com/catalog/detail/songs_from_the_chateau/#When:07:00:46Z <a href="http://www.mackavenue.com/catalog/detail/songs_from_the_chateau/"><img src="http://www.mackavenue.com/images/uploads/catalog/2881/ren5146_200__medium.jpg" align="left" height="200" width="200" alt="Songs From The Chateau" border="0" /></a>Songs From The Chateau is Eastwood’s fourth US effort on Rendezvous Music (licensed from Candid Records—one of the leading independent jazz labels in the UK).

No news there for the legions of fans his richly melodic playing style has attracted since the release of his first album, Intimate Secrets in 1993. Less known is the fact that he’s been a singer, and a good one (backing Rod Stewart and Sade among others, with vocals as well as his stellar trumpet) for most of his life, as well.
