Music Director Notes 6-26-12: Picks

Helloooooooo...is there anybody out there?  Does anybody ever read this?

Well, I'll just tell myself my favorite picks of the week, then.  :-p

NEW RELEASES:
Jazz aficionados: Béla Fleck and the Marcus Roberts Trio have joined forces to create "Across The Imaginary Divide" in a delightful cross-genre exploration.  This album really demonstrates the magic that can
happen when top-notch musicians of ANY genre collaborate--truly brillliant! Also, check out
Stacey Kent's live album, "Dreamer In Concert", recorded in the famous La Cigale concert hall in Paris.

Rockers: A Band Called Catch's modus operandum is creating music to dance to--and this they do very well!  If you enjoyed shaking booty to 80's hair bands, then you'll love this album.  Also, Peter Cincotti's "Metropolis", a departure from his jazz endeavors into pop, is really quite good.  Be adventurous--check 'em out!

Latin:  I've decided to move all music from Latin America, including Curumin's "Arrocha", into the Latin section, so don't forget to look for your other favorite electronic Brazilian albums there.

That's it, short and sweet.  More next time...
