...we will be highlighting this year on December 14, 2007 at the annual
Candid Jazz Festival. This will be a very special event as Candid Records
Philippines launches two albums:
MISHKA ADAMS’ amazing new album that she recorded in England,
entitled“SPACE”. Her new material is absolutely stunning and she is immaculately
accompanied by and interplayed with by some of the finest jazz musicians from
the U.K.
And the second album of the Johnny Alegre AFFINITY (with GerardSalonga’s
Global Studio Orchestra) entitled “EASTERN SKIES” featuring Johnny Alegre
(guitar/compositions), Tots Tolentino (saxophones) ,Colby dela Calzada (bass),
Koko Bermejo (drums), Joey Quirino (piano)and the outstanding big band and
symphonic arrangements of RiaVillena-Osorio. The twin launch event will be held
at the TeatrinoTheater and Bar in Greenhills.
the absolutely lovely Mishka can be found online at http://www.mishkaadams.com/, the Johnny Alegre AFFINITY are over at http://affinity.i.ph/, and you can order their CDs online through the Candid Records website, http://www.candidrecords.com/.
as a kind of experiment to see how it takes, i've uploaded Johnny Alegre AFFINITY's gig sched for November onto a public folder on esnips.
i knew they wouldn't, but i was hoping both Mishka and AFFINITY would launch their albums while i was home, or maybe some copies would hit the shelves a couple months before the actual release date, as i've seen happen before. no such luck.
i just got back, and already things are piling up to make me regret having decided not to come home this December. i almost wish The Nightmare Before Christmas 3-D *won't* play at the IMAX theater back home while i'm away--or have i missed it already? sigh. ah well.
(meanwhile, i have ostensibly started up the other life again, with a rather long-winded post that does nothing to review the books i'm currently reading. ah well.)
