Being a jazz man, I couldn’t help but to smile at this one:
So, I’ve written about this musician before and she definitely doesn’t need any promotion from me as she is already a well-established singer, BUT I want to laud the talents once more of vocalist Stacey Kent. I really love her voice and her new album is a real delight. It’s so nice to hear a voice that doesn’t fall in line with convention. In the past if you heard Sarah Vaughan, you knew it was Sarah Vaughan. Billie Holiday, Ella, Anita. You didn’t have to wonder what the name was behind the voice. Well, the same goes for Stacey Kent. Whenever I am listening to the station and one of her tracks begins to play, I know right away who I am listening to. A great talent. I look forward to hearing more and more from her.
Listen out for some tracks from the new album in the upcoming week.
I received the cd “I Hear Music” by Meegan Samantha Coleman this week. There are some really nice tracks here. I especially enjoy her version of “Cry Me A River”. I hope you guys enjoy it. Check out her MySpace page and let her know what you think.

I am also adding a few tracks from the Mike Metheny cd “Close Enough For Love”. Also some very nice music here. I want to thank Ms. Coleman and Mr. Metheny for the opportunity to hear some really wonderful music.

I am adding a number of tunes this week, but wanted to put the spotlight on Bowl, Bunns and Friends. They sent me a cd a few weeks ago and they definitely swing. I am not sure if they have a MySpace page but I will add the link here if I can find it or a webpage for the band.
This week I added a few tunes from the cd entitled “A Point Of Departure” by the Phill Argyris Quartet (http://www.myspace.com/phillargyrisquartet). There is some truly inspired music on these cds and some really nice ballads as well. His cut of “Body & Soul” is especially good, in my opinion.
Mr. Argyris was nice enough to send me three of his cds. I thought that instead of holding onto the two extras myself or giving them to friends, I would pass them along to my listeners. So…I will give the two extra cds to the first two listeners who are interested. Just email me at emadmin@eveningmelancholy.com and put TPAQ CD Requests in the subject header and I will get back to you and get your shipping info.
When both cds have been promised to someone, I will post here and let everyone know.
