Our humble beginnings in my garage over a year ago has evolved present-day in truly ideal fashion: the student is now also a professional collaborator!

We will have a CD-release party on Thursday April 18th live at Cafe Vivace in Cincinnati.
Al and I have been performing professionally since the middle of last year, in a duet-format (Guitar/Vocals,) and as a quartet (Al West Jr. & The Greg Chako Trio). Our next quartet show is in less than 2 weeks, at Cafe Vivace on February 22nd
Indeed, this is the best possible result for any student-teacher relationship. I couldn’t be happier for Al’s success, but of course, he has to be given all the credit for putting such serious work and dedication into his dream of becoming a skilled and well-informed jazz vocalist.

With Frames, Antoine Karacostas delivers an album of seven compositions and an arrangement of rebetiko, the band’s signature sound. In this opus, he drew his inspiration from painting and pictorial as well as musical impressionism, from French composers such as Emmanuel Chabrier. This album is also a reflection on the notion of framework, both the one we find ourselves in and the one we wish to go beyond, in our personal quest for freedom.

Aline Piboule – Dutilleux: Piano Sonata – Fauré: Ballade, Thème & variations (2017)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 55:03 minutes | 495 MB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © ARTALINNA
Aline Piboule offers us a journey to the country of light. For her first solo album, she brings together three fundamental French piano works, Fauré’s Ballade and Theme and Variations and Dutilleux’s Sonata, which has become one of her favourite pieces. The programme is made up of a succession of insistent variations on the theme of light, contrasting aesthetics which very often oscillate between shadows, sound and silences. Aline Piboule’s playing has a fairly typical French charm, fluctuating between robustness and tender sensuality.

Trio Sõra – Brahms: Piano Trio Op. 101, Trio for Horn Op. 40, Wiegenlied & Op. 49 No. 1 (2024)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 51:10 minutes | 828 MB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © La Dolce Volta
Since it was founded in 2015, this vivacious trio has revelled in big ideas and committed itself to refreshing great works of the piano trio repertory with a new dynamic. Following its debut recording of the complete Beethoven piano trios, no less, Trio Sōra has now delved into all that Brahms has to offer in the oeuvre for its second album, this Nme on the La Dolce Volta label.
The spirit and passion of youth dominates Brahms’s first trio, a work of unprecedented dimensions, composed in 1853 when he was 21 while staying with Robert and Clara Schumann, for whom he felt great love and gratitude. Less emotional and more compact, his Op 87 is a complex work of interlocking elements and musical conversations written when he was approaching 50. Several symphonies and major concerti later, Brahms was on the verge of old age when he created his last piano trio in 1886; much shorter than the others, it nevertheless seems a gigantic work, one of grandeur and eloquence with many echoes of the gypsy and folkloric music that were an indelible part of his personal history. The trio in which Brahms assigned the melody to the horn (later transcribed for cello), was written soon after his mother died and is ultimately elegaic and imbued with a sense of resignation.
As well as supporting the making of this album, BBT also funded the commissioning of a triple concerto for the Trio from Canadian composer Kelly-Marie Murphy, premiered on 18 February 2022 with co-commissioner Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France conducted by Mikko Franck. Another landmark in Trio Sōra’s ‘big ideas’ portfolio.

Eric Lamb – Viera Janárčeková: Dotyk (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 01:09:25 minutes | 735 MB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Kairos
“Janárceková’s intellectually unpretentious expressionist music never runs the risk of becoming cliche-infected: her will to express herself and her awareness of fragmentariness combine in a subtle sensuality of sound. At every moment the music seems to be ‘appropriate’: far removed from triviality, and away from fashionable contemplative platitudes.” (Dirk Wieschollek) The Slovak Quasars ensemble’s conductor Ivan Buffa also doubles as the piano soloist with the Bamberg Symphony in the piano concerto of Viera Janárceková, who surely must be counted as one of the most distinguished female voices in today’s European composition landscape.

T-Square (formerly known as The Square), stylized in all-uppercase T-SQUARE, is a Japanese jazz fusion band formed in 1976. They became famous in the late 1970s and early 1980s along with other Japanese jazz bands. They are known for songs such as “Truth”, “Japanese Soul Brothers”, “Takarajima”,”Omens of Love”, among others.
During the first years simply The SQUARE was printed on the frontsides of their albums. After the renaming of the band to T-Square the imprint changed to T-SQUARE (all in Capital letters) and their typical logo became a capital letter T printed over a red square. During the years with the changing names of the band the logo got modified several times, reflecting the changing band names such as T-Square alpha (where an α sign got added to the logo), T-Square plus (where the text “plus” was added centered next to the T in smaller letters).
“Truth” was used as the theme for Fuji Television’s Formula One coverage from 1987 to 1998 and starting in 2012 A special arrangement, “Truth 21c”, was used as the theme for Japan’s F1 2001 and 2002, respectively, and other remixes were used from 2003 to 2006.
The band has won, all told, 12 Japan Gold Disc Awards. In the 80s, “SPORTS”, “Truth”, “Yes, No”, and even their “F1 Grand Prix” compilation album won Gold Discs in the Jazz-Fusion category. In the 90s, “Natural”, “Impressive”, “Human”, “Natsu no Wakusei”, “B.C. A.D.” and “Gravity” all won Gold Discs. After more than two decades without Gold Discs, they’ve recently won back-to-back for 2021’s “FLY! FLY! FLY!” and 2022’s “WISH” as part of the Instrumental Album of the Year category.

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © RidingEasy Records
MACKS CREEK BAND out of Missouri are a working band still ripping it up decades after this rare private press LP was unleashed. This is primarily a live band, the scorching dual guitar action and propulsive rhythms captured here leave zero doubt they can jam your mind right out of your body at a show. Laid down at Parallax Recording Studios in Willow Springs, Missouri in 1980, the LP contains all original material loaded with riverboats, reefer, catfish, nasty ladies dressed to kill, characters like Diamond Jim and Bertha Bryan… southern rock potent enough to up the ante for the Allmans and other southern rockers they shared the stage with back in the day. They primarily worked the St. Louis / Southern Illinois area and are a reminder that some regional bands who made their bread and butter killing it live with cover versions of classic southern rock made the smart move to do all original material when it came time to make their own record.
