| All That "Alaska Jazz" Tlingit musician and songwriter Archie Cavanaugh from Juneau, Alaska has released his third CD entitled, "Alaska Jazz". Archie writes and sings all of his music working closely with his wife Melinda as his co-lyricist. On this CD, Archie went to his roots of growing up in Kake, Alaska, a village of Tlingit-speaking people, incorporating the Tlingit language on two of these pop jazz songs. When titling the CD Archie and Melinda decided on "Alaska Jazz" to emulate Alaskans as being unique and Alaska for being known as the last frontier. These songs are their own style of "Alaska Jazz". write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Jazz News :: home page |
