The holiday season is closing in upon us, and I have some wonderful new CDs to tell you about. First, though, I'd like to remind you to bring in an ornament for the studio tree. It's looking a little bit less bare than it was, but there's still room for your addition!
Also, our wonderful Office Manager, Laura, is going to put together a "Lost and Found" box for the upstairs. This can be the new home for random CDs that are left in the CD player, on flat surfaces, etc. that are obviously not part of the KRZA library (i.e. they have no lable, no tape, etc.)
Many thanks to Deb Nichols for organizing and labeling the Big Band jazz section. It looks terrific, Deb! Also, many thanks to those of you who give me feedback on new releases. I still have a lot to learn, so please don't hesitate to tell me if a recording is really good, really bad, etc.
Okay, on to the new library adds:
Rockers: If you love AC/DC, check out "Slash". Good stuff!
Bluesists: OMG, Beverly McClellan may look like a punk rocker with her piercings and tatts, but this gal puts out some serious blues! Thanks, Greg, for the recommendation--five stars to you!
Hip-hop devotees of Eminem will love Scribes. Check it out!
World Musicians: For "something completely different", the Looping Jaw Harp Orchestra will have you hooked in two seconds flat. Sounds from all over the world: jaw harp, Tuvan throat singing, accordion, bass saxophone...all in nicely crafted, tightly performed compositions that will bend your mind and raise your hairs. Wild, but worth it! Also, for a trip down a Crestone main street, check out Ancient Futures. Guitar, tabla, and other instruments are mixed up in a New-Agey way. Very mellow and nice.
Okay, that's it for this week. See ya next time!
Catie, you're so sweet! Until I read this post, I completely forgot about the Lost and Found box! Great post!!
