Oktober Jazz Month (part 2) with Traces by Deborah Henriksson (Toppyjazz 355)

We´re proud to present the latest album TRACES by Deborah Henriksson. This is another fine album after The Hearts Cry from 2012. The story of this album is unique from the others in that Traces is about Henriksson’s search for her own voice, trying to figure out what she had to say musically after spending so many years gracefully interpreting everyone from Mozart to Joni Mitchell. The epiphany to start writing her own lyrics came from her frustration over trying to finding fresh outside songs that captured what she wanted to communicate as an artist. She saw this as a watershed fork in the road – either keep doing the same thing or dig deep to see what she could pen herself. She and Nyman experimented with different approaches to songwriting, but in the end, rather than simply write poems for him to set to music, she generally sat with him as he created melodies and arrangements and – filled with fresh inspiration – she would go off and start writing lyrics. Her first completed song was the dreamy, lyrical, pennywhistle infused “Eveline,” in which she encourages a girl who had lost her way to look forward to a brighter tomorrow – a perfect reflection of the general sense of optimism that infuses Deborah’s words throughout. Other key songs include the whimsical, soulful “Fallen Disguise,” a semi-autographical piece about daring to be who you truly are, and the spirited folk driven “Trains,” based on a childhood memory hearing the train from New York City pass through her hometown of Morristown, NJ in the morning. “As the album title implies, these songs are traces of life lived, echoes of feelings and experiences common to many of us,” says Deborah, shortly after returning home from a jaunt to Dublin, where she performed many of these songs at local pubs and at the You Bloom Festival. “To leave such a trace in the form of lyrics is a vital form of expression for me and I share these songs in the hopes that they will resonate and show that we’re not alone on this journey.

Other fine albums we airplay by Nikky Yanofsky, Julia Boman and JeanFrancois Prins and Judy Niemack.

01 -Lullaby of Birdland - Nikky Yanofsky (album Ella of Thee I Swing)

Yellowjackets (Toppyjazz 319)

This week we give our listeners an overview from the 24 Yellowjackets albums we have in stock. Yellowjackets is an American jazz fusion quartet. The original group, called The Robben Ford Group, was formed in 1977, and consisted of Robben Ford, Russell Ferrante, Jimmy Haslip and Ricky Lawson. Ford had originally assembled the group to record Inside Story, but signed to a separate record contract, ended up listed as a guest artist. Eventually he was replaced by saxophone player Marc Russo. Ricky Lawson left in 1986 to tour with Lionel Richie. Some of their songs were featured on The Weather Channel's Local On The 8s segments. Founded in 1981 as an R&B-oriented band that starred guitarist Robben Ford, the group took a giant step forward when, after Ford's departure, altoist Marc Russo took his place. With original members Russell Ferrante on keyboards and electric bassist Jimmy Haslip, in addition to drummer William Kennedy, the band found its own R&B-ish sound, sometimes playing original compositions that sounded like Joe Zawinul at his most melodic. Starting out on Warner Brothers in the early '80s, the Yellowjackets moved to MCA/GRP in 1986, where they released a string of well-received albums. They also appeared with two songs on the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. In the '90s, Russo chose to go out on his own and plays regularly with The Doobie Brothers, and his replacement, Bob Mintzer (on tenor and bass clarinet), added more jazz credibility to the group's music. They moved back to Warner Brothers in 1995 for several albums before moving the Heads Up label for the live two-CD set Mint Jam in 2002. 2003 saw the release of their first studio album in five years, Time Squared. Three years later, the band celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary as an ensemble with the release of the live album Twenty Five. In May 2008, the Yellowjackets released their 20th release, Lifecycle, also on HeadsUp International. Lifecycle features guitarist and label-mate Mike Stern, making it the first Yellowjackets record in 15 years to feature guitar (1994's Run For Your Life featured Robben Ford on the track Even Song). The album has been nominated for the 2009 GRAMMY Awards in the category of Best Contemporary Jazz Album. Russell Ferrante has also been nominated in the category of Best Instrumental Composer for the track "Claire's Closet."

01 - Top Secret (album Menage a Trois)
