-

Get ready to groove with Dr. Leigh Pilzer , the Washington, D.C. baritone sax powerhouse who proves that jazz is meant to be a living, breathing party, not a dusty museum piece. Described as a pure force of nature with a gruff, punchy, and assertive sound, Leigh brings a heavy dose of soulful grit to the stage. She has traded licks with the legendary Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra and even arranged horns for local legends like Chuck Brown and Eva Cassidy , and now she is bringing that deep, soulful swagger front and center with her vibrant new album, Keep Holding On. This record is a masterclass in pure, undeniable groove, packed with plenty of attitude, low-end bark, and raw energy that blues fans will instantly appreciate. Keep Holding On strikes the perfect balance between paying respect to the jazz heritage and absolutely cutting loose, making it an essential, high-energy addition to your playlist.   🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM   Keep Holding On by Leigh ...

You & Me Music artist: Hyeonseon Baek - Longing - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Longing, from Hyeonseon Baek and it's very cool. Opening with Ellington's Caravan, Hyeonseon Baek really emerges smoothly from the darkness with his smooth tenor vocals. Kevin Hays really working the melody on piano,, and Lucas Pino on tenor sax plays beautiful, lyrical phrases over the tight bottom of Linda May Han Oh on double bass and Jochen Rueckert on drums. Exciting opener. Original composition, West 4th St. is a solid shuffle with Baek scatting over a terrific rhythm. Hays plays masterful piano improv with a great bass line by Oh. Jimmy Rowles' laid back, A Timeless Place showcases Baek's voice nicely with a solid interlude balanced between Hays on piano and Oh on bass. Wrapping the release is a second take on West 4th St with Pino letting it all hang out on tenor sax. With a super bass line by Oh, tight drums by Rueckert, Hays on piano and of course the solid vocal styling by Baek, this is a super closer.
