The excitement is really growing around Ryan Truesdell' Gil Evans Project: LIVE at the Jazz Standard. Ryan and the Gil Evans Project Ensemble will be recording LIVE during their fourth-annual, week-long engagement at the Jazz Standard in New York City, Tuesday through Sunday, May 13th - 18th, 2014. Their performances will feature a wide variety of Gil's works, ranging from music he did for the Claude Thornhill Orchestra in the 1940s to the music written for various recording sessions through the late-60s. They will be recording many recently-discovered, previously un-recorded works that will be heard here for the first time, in addition to some of Gil's classic arrangements! Through this project, you will be able to experience the entire creative process behind the documentation of some of these great unknown works of the luminary composer/arranger, Gil Evans.
As a participant in this project, Ryan and the Gil Evans Project Ensemble will be sharing video, audio shows, downloads, photos, and news keeping you updated on the status and progress of this once in a lifetime event, made possible by you. By participating in this project you are playing an integral role in the creation of a new, historical recording of previously un-recorded Gil Evans music!
Ryan Truesdell wishes to thank all of his ArtistShare Participants so far, especially ArtistShare Gold Participants Bill & Carol Bloemer, ArtistShare Silver Participant Eugene Malinowski, and ArtistShare Bronze Participants Richard Baskin, Nicholas Bewsey, Gary & Jean Hayes, Jeff Magee, Dan Volpe, and Nelson Zayas.

 We're very excited to announce the upcoming release of Saxophone Summit's Visitation CD. Saxophone Summit brings together some of the most monumental figures in jazz: saxophone titans Dave Liebman, Joe Lovano, and Ravi Coltrane will join forces with an equally dynamic rhythm section featuring pianist Phil Markowitz, bassist Cecil McBee, and drummer Billy Hart to create an exciting album featuring all-new music.
Pre-order Visitation today!
 For the fan-funded Concerto For Folded Space project, Steve Wiest and The Eclectric Band are creating groove-oriented, electric jazz, and exploring a vibrant, sci-fi inspired musical palette which will feature the exotic sounds resulting from the unique combination (from both live-tracking and post recording studio manipulations) of two electric guitars, electric bass, drums, percussion, trombones, flutes, and solo instruments. The group is made up of some of today's most creative musicians including drummer Stockton Helbing, guitarists Ryan Davidson and Noel Johnston, bassist Braylon Lacy and flutist Daniel Pardo. Along with this core "Eclectric Band," world-class guest artists including Bob Mintzer, James Pankow and Arlington Jones will be joining them as well.
Join Steve on his artistic voyage today and experience his Concerto For Folded Space!
