Blue Bolero
By Chris Standring

Blue Bolero, to be released 2010 on the Ultimate Vibe Recordings label, is a CD that retains Standring's familiar pop hooks while liberally tying it all together with orchestral elements.

His sixth CD, Blue Bolero, Standring returns with a left-turning musical project so daring in its scope but still so true to his sound that it's destined to be one of the year's most-discussed projects, while certainly sure to be remembered in years to come as a highlight of the guitarist's works. He's taking a chance with Blue Bolero, but it's one his fans will certainly embrace as they follow Standring's ever-evolving career.

Alex Bugnon

Contemporary jazz keyboard player Alex Bugnon, nephew of trumpeter Donald Byrd, grew up going to the Montreux Jazz Festival in his hometown in Switzerland. He attended the Paris Conservatory of Music for two years, then moved to the U.S. and went to the Berklee School of Music, meanwhile performing as an accompanist to gospel groups. He spent four years working as a session musician in New York, backing urban and jazz performers such as Patti Austin, Freddie Jackson, James Ingram, and Keith Sweat. Signed to Orpheus Records, he released his debut album, Love Season, in 1989. It reached the pop charts and the Top 40 of the R&B charts, as did its follow-up, 1990's Head Over Heels.

Gregg Karukas hails originally from the D.C. - Maryland area where he was one of the top fusion and studio players in town. Gregg moved to L.A. in 1983, not with the idea of getting his own record deal, but with the desire to expand his multi-keyboard style by playing with as many other artists as possible.

That Gregg Karukas can write such compelling songs in a variety of styles should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the Bowie, Maryland native's diverse musical background. "What really got me into music as a passion and a lifestyle was first seeing the Beatles, and then hearing Stevie Wonder and singer/songwriters like Carole King, James Taylor, Leon Russell, Laura Nyro and Joni Mitchell, he says. I was inspired by the idea that you could touch people's emotions with melodic songs and lyrics that meant something. . . Then I discovered Jazz.

Nicolas Bearde

Nicolas Bearden Network

Nicolas Bearde Network After honing his art and craft for many years with discipline and singular imagination, Bay Area-based vocalist Nicolas Bearde is finding broader recognition. A supremely gifted singer/entertainer who is fluent in soul, jazz and R&B stylings, Bearde has been compared to vocal icons like Lou Rawls, Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, and Jon Lucien. But such comparisons fail to capture his vocal artistry or do justice to his musical accomplishments on record or in performance. “He’s a breath of fresh air amidst a mass of polluted ozone-unfriendly pop,” declared Blues and Soul magazine in the U.K., where Bearde’s music has been accorded an especially enthusiastic reception and where he placed high on the list of Best Male Newcomers.

Andrew Neu

From his appearances with Peter Nero and the Philly Pops, Brian Pastor Big Band and Philadelphia Orchestra to his live performances in front of thousands of people while regularly touring with legendary crooner Bobby Caldwell, Andrew Neu is one of the most exciting, multi-genre musicians today. Now, in his third solo CD release, it is indeed time for the world to “Try Something Neu.” Try Something Neu (nuGroove Records) is packed with a colossal group of stellar all-stars that includes Bobby Caldwell, Brian Bromberg, Chuck Loeb, Brian Culbertson and Gerald Veasley. The respect toward Andrew by his peers is evident in the musical conversations you hear in each track of Try Something Neu. “The sheer amount of stellar guest-stars packed into this CD shows you just how much this young talent is already respected in the industry. The future is very bright for Andrew Neu,” said David Chackler, President/CEO of nuGroove Records.

Matt on Myspace Matt Cusson on itunes

The Award winning singer-songwriter

An extraordinary songwriter ad musician, with a Voice (yes, with a capital V!) that's sexy and poetic, Matt Cusson is an exciting new talent in the music industry.

He's a brilliant musician, a master interpreter/arranger, and his Voice has an uncanny way of touching your soul and making it quiver. But as if that weren't enough, the songs he writes have an almost magical, primal effect - sexy, uplifting, heart-wrenching... whatever he's feeling, you acutely feel it, too. And love it. Most musicians fit nicely into one genre; Matt does not. He has a unique sort of talent that can do it all, with a musical ear only a handful of musicians are born with. His intense but soothing style contains a breadth of influences – from R & B, soul, and gospel to jazz, pop, and rock. A self-taught piano and guitar player, Matt can bring passion to most any song leaving listeners yearning for more. He can sing with enough soul to wow Brian McKnight or even slip into a jazzy number with the coolness of Harry Connick Jr.
