Info zu New Sounds

Posi-Tone Records rolls out a second volume of "New Faces" with a musical message that stays focused on "New Sounds." This group of "New Faces" (trumpeter Brandon Lee, alto saxophonist Markus Howell, tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover, pianist Caili O'Doherty, bassist Adi Meyerson and drummer Cory Cox) was assembled and sent off under the supervision of producer Marc Free to explore a wonderland of melodic mysteries and harmonic possibilities. The performances of these emerging artists are specifically intended to provide you with an insight into the musical aesthetics and operational ethos of Posi-Tone Records with an engaging program of fresh cuts and a few dusky gems from the label's previous releases. Please take a moment to relax and experience the "New Sounds" of these talented artists as they work to provide you with the opportunity to enjoy a more delightful today and a brighter tomorrow.

"This writer has heard four Posi-Tone releases that grace the first two months of 2021 and plans to cover three of them, this and two more on these pages: and, as a result of those and Free’s tremendous catalog, can attest to his commentary. “I really loved making this record, I love working with these people, and there was a huge emotional payoff to making this album that supersedes anything else. I’m hoping that New Sounds will bring some beauty and blissful joy to listeners who are just discovering these musicians or have maybe heard them on only one or two occasions before. I hope this project validates whatever reason they chose to invest some of their time and energy into listening to this wonderful music that we’ve put together for them to enjoy. And I want people to know that when they pick up a record that says Posi-Tone, they can rely upon that brand to be melodic, emotionally sincere, thoughtful, insightful, and well considered in every way.” As Good Housekeeping used to say years ago, look for that seal of quality (Posi-Tone is this case)."

New Faces
are certainly not just another group making blowing dates. Instead, they intentionally revolve around combining the individual talents of emerging leaders from the Posi-Tone Records roster into cohesive camaraderies of artists working together consciously to create a series of meaningful presentations as a unified collective.
