Befuddled Music Announcement: 26 Dec 2005

chris vickery_____________________debut solo cd

Written by Greg Quill  TORSTAR Entertainment
DEBUT SOLO CD, TEMPORARY MEASURES 

A veteran of North America’s concert circuit and a seasoned session musician with scores of hit recordings to his credit,
Chris Vickery, in the noblest years of a long lifetime in music, has put the sum of his vast experience on the line, and his big heart into song, with the creation of his debut solo CD, Temporary Measures

One of Canada’s most respected bass players, whose warm, strong grooves and melodic, jazz-funk lines have graced the recorded and live work of 1960s and 70s Canadian and international soul, jazz, blues and rhythm ‘n’ blues legends David Clayton Thomas, Lennie Breau, Bob Seger, The Majestics, John Lee Hooker, Jackie Wilson, Malcolm Tomlinson, Rick James, Peter Allen, Charity Brown, James Cotton, and Salomé Bey, among others, Vickery brings wisdom, passion and commitment to this collection of original songs, produced in Toronto by Vickery and veteran studio engineers Rusty McCarthy and Terry Brown (Rush).

A small army of Canada’s finest session musicians — all Vickery’s friends and musical colleagues — contributed to Temporary Measures. Among them are drummer Mike Sloski, guitarists McCarthy, Dominic Troiano, and Colin Linden, Michael Pickett on harmonica, keyboards wizards Robert Guseves and Doug Riley (who also wrote most of the compelling horn and vocal arrangements), saxophonists Robert Brough and John Johnson, trumpet player Chase Sanborn, and singers Mary Margaret O’Hara, Sharon Lee and Vivienne Williams, Maddi Willis and Neil Donnell and Eric Mercury.

markus koller___________songwriter, composer, producer...

... but unfortunately no singer! So Markus Koller has specialized in writing, composing and arranging  songs and instrumental music of various styles for professional vocalists and bands, as well as for  commercials, film & television. In order to create expressive productions out of his mad musical  brainwaves, the winner of the Austrian Starlight Award cooperates with different fabulous  guest-musicians and several talented creative singers, who complete his instrumental basic ideas  by the vocal interpretation of his words. In this way MK´s recording studio is a birthplace of  unique  music of different styles and sounds. More information about MK and his team, as well as latest lyrics  and pre-productions of unsigned songs are available at http://go.to/songwriterMK.   So don´t hesitate to contact MK, if you´re interested in his songs or lyrics, or simply to let him know  what you are looking for!

MK is a member of AKM-Austria.

alexandre de guise_______________________cd released

My name is Alexandre de Guise.  I am a Recording/Performing Artist, virtuoso guitarist and singer/songwriter/composer originally from Moscow Russia, with international experience.

I am running my New Solo Project and having my New Solo CD Album, entitled "Can't Be in Vain" (Digipack Gold Limited Edition), along with Live Concert (open air) DVD entitled "Live in Red Square" recently successfully released in Moscow Russia. It's already in record stores Russia wide. (The Album is a collection of songs which, stylistically, can be described as a well-balanced blend of Mainstream melodic Rock, gentle Pop, with an influence from Progressive Rock, air of New Age and a vibe of Celtic Folk.)

Having already received quite a few favorable reviews and positive responses from international Industry and Media contacts, I am searching best possible opportunities to market this Project in the U.S. (probably Western Europe and the U.K., too)  and, therefore, am interested in getting proper representation, promotion, touring and distribution in these markets, including the more possible Press, Radio and TV exposure.

As my music works have been quite oftenly related to as "cinematography matching", guess I'd most surely appreciate getting a few decent Film and TV placements...

A worthy publishing/record deal with a SOUND and FEASIBLE label would be an option, too (since I do hold all the copyrights to my material).

liz nash__________________________________cd released

August 24, 2005 (Studio City, CA) -- Liz Nash, a singer/ songwriter originally from New  York, will release her long-awaited debut album "Peter's Diner" on August 22. The CD  contains 5 new tracks of soulful pop and unique brand of jazz finger-style techniques with influences from Rickie Lee Jones and Billy Holiday to Chet Atkins and Les Paul. The CD features special guests Oskar Cartaya (Jennifer Lopez, Spyrogyra, Sheila E, Robbie Robertson) and John Bertsche (Sonny Tiles, Randy Scruggs, Atlantic Records, Warner Bros. Records).

As a child, Liz thought the folk guitar player at the local library was the coolest. She would become mesmerized by the stories she sang. There was truth in it, she thought. Soon after, Liz started attending USDAN center of performing arts in New York, and studied music. She would go home and play songs for her older brother Jorge and they'd study the back of Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel albums. After extensive jazz study, Liz started playing duets in clubs on Long Island and Manhattan, which eventually lead her to her first recognition. Since then, she has played in many venues in California, South America, and Europe.

Michael Mostert, owner of California Professional Audio says, "she's the complete package," she writes her own songs, alluring vocal style, accomplished guitarist, sexy and fun. We are proud to endorse her and she was featured as "Artist of the Month" on our web site www.calproaudio.com. Due to the overwhelming demand, she was featured for two consecutive months.

"I would like to inspire others and collaborate with artists that I admire. I would like to continue contributing and working with the T.V. and film community. Perhaps tour soon," she explains.

Liz Nash, with her alluring voice and unique brand of jazz finger-style techniques has mesmerized audiences all over the world. This unconventional musical nomad has attracted, performed and recorded with top musicians. With her extensive travel and guitar in hand, she has profoundly committed herself to share her gift of song.
