| Arturo Tappin: 'Inside Out' Legendary Barbadian jazz icon, Arturo Tappin, will formally launch his new album "Inside Out" at the official Album Launch in Manhattan, NY on Tuesday July 24th from 6:30pm - 11pm. The launch is being produced by Antilia, Inc. - an upscale Caribbean special event company based in NYC. Malibu Rum will host a premium open bar for all invited attendees. The event is being held at the high-profile Chelsea lounge Room Service, and endeavors to showcase Arturo's repositioning for a younger audience and potential for mainstream credibility. Along with unique new originals, the esteemed saxophonist will perform his own instrumental covers of top 10 Billboard hit songs from popular peer artists such as Gnarls Barkley, Rihanna, John Legend and Rupee. Truly, Arturo proves that the sax has moved far beyond the jazz genre from where it was conceived. Arturo has recorded with the late Luther Vandross, and currently works alongside Grammy-award recipients and nominees Ralph MacDonald and Nicholas Branker. Other artists he has performed and/or recorded with include the likes of Ellis Marsalis, Dean Frasier, Maxi Priest and Bob Marley's Wailer's Band. He is widely regarded as one of the top saxophonists in the world, undisputed number 1 in the English-speaking Caribbean, and has performed for great world leaders such as Bill Clinton and Fidel Castro on more than one occasion. Arturo can currently be seen on stage with songbird Roberta Flack. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
