| Maria Jacobs "Art of the Duo" CD Release Event Maria Jacobs - CD Release Event at NY's famed Metropolitan Room on Saturday, March 16th 9:30pm. Featuring Maria Jacobs, Vocals, Ed Leonard, Piano, Paul Beaudry, Bass, Will Terrill, Drums. New CD "Art of the Duo" (self produced). Street Date February 12, 2013 "The Art of the Duo" is vocalist Maria Jacobs fourth recording to date. It represents her continuing growth as an artist. It is in many ways her most honest and compelling project. The "Art" of the duo is no casual exercise for those who engage in the discipline of making music. Save for the solo artist, the duo format is the most vulnerable. The solo artist has no safety net, relying completely on their skill as a communicator. There is however another kind of tightrope walk for musicians who perform in duo fashion; It involves a "trust" born of mutual respect that relies their acumen to have each other's back. Jacob's abilities are on full display here as she is paired in song, at once with a guitarist, a pianist and an acoustic bassist. Jacobs demonstrates with quiet confidence, interpretations of songs tempered first through years of practice in solitude followed by the mutual conversation of agreement with musical equals. Songs that are now unveiled for you, who reap the fruit of their labors. Eat, drink and be merry in this experience as you listen to "The Art Of The Duo." - Bobby Jackson, The Jazz Mind Radio Show Musicians – Bob Fraser, Guitar; Steve Cipriano, Guitar; Tony Dumas, Bass; Dan Maier, Keyboard write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Jazz News :: home page |
