| Jeff Oster's 'True' Named CD of the Month by Echoes Echoes, the daily two-hour music program hosted by John Diliberto which airs nationally on 150 radio stations by Public Radio International, has named Jeff Oster's "True" its CD of the Month for September, 2007. Oster's debut album, 2005's "Released", received the same honor on its release, making the trumpet andflugelhorn player one of the few musicians to place consecutive albums on the Echoes list. An artful blend of ambient grooves with Oster's warm, jazz-inflected trumpet and flugelhorn playing, "True" is the next step in a unique trip that has turned a one-time limo driver, standup comic, bar-band musician and financial planner into an unexpected force in the world of instrumental music. Produced by Windham Hill Records founder Will Ackerman, the album features contributions from drummer Keith Carlock, bassists T-Bone Wolk and Michael Manring, cellist Eugene Friesen, keyboardists Philip Aaberg and Jan Pulsford, guitarist Patrick Gorman, and Ugandan vocalist Samite. "It might sound like hyperbole, but we may be witnessing the emergence of the next instrumental superstar", wrote Bill Binkelman in the New Age Reporter. As the Echoes CD of the Month, "True" will receive extensive airplay on the show, and will be featured in a special two-hour program. In addition to prominently featured on the syndicated program's website and in its listener newsletter, the CD will also be sent to members of "Echoes CD of the Month Club." Echoes, which airs daily, features an eclectic mix of music ranging from acoustic to electronic, from jazz to space music and from avant-garde to rock. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
