RadioIndy is pleased to present Claude Werner Quartet with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Thoughts and Recollections "

You will be mesmerized by the stunning and expressive Jazz compositions on the new CD, "Thoughts and Recollections," by the Claude Werner Quartet. Werner, a brilliant tenor saxophonist, performs with rich and emotive sensitivity. Feel his dynamics rise and gently recede on haunting & evocative melodies of pure artistry. Werner's fellow musicians are well-focused and, in their togetherness, reveal a true chemistry as they perform with tight, well-rehearsed precision. Breathing with an airy ambiance of smooth and silky vibes, "Good Ol' Days" invites reflections of memories of times past. The counterpoint of the bass embellishes the mood of "Day Dreaming," as Werner's sax displays a polished and charming tonality. Jazz improvisation is at its best when you hear the delectable song, "Conversations with D," with its smooth and precise dexterity. Relax and enjoy listening to the fabulous, warm and inviting jazz songs on Claude Werner Quartet's fine CD, "Thoughts and Recollections."

RadioIndy is pleased to present Matthew with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Color My Soul "

RadioIndy is pleased to present Matthew with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Color My Soul "

Keyboardist and composer Matthew's 2nd CD, "Color My Soul," continues his Easy Listening / Contemporary Jazz explorations over the course of 10 songs as soothing as they are satisfying. On his new album, Matthew offers up a mix of original piano-led instrumental tunes that hover in the New Age / Adult Contemporary realms, but shakes things up a little with a couple nice vocal tracks ("My Child" and "Letting Go") from a fine r&b-oriented female vocalist, and a sax-led slice of loungiana ("Saxuality") that brings just the right touch of after-hours ambience. "After the Rain," with its very pretty acoustic guitar accompaniment, and the title-track, "Color My Soul," capture the essence of Matthew's composition and performing strengths, delivering lilting and memorable melodies to complement whatever you're doing, or simply to help you relax and enjoy a fine glass of wine with a friend or lover. In all, Matthew's fine "Color My Soul" CD is a beautiful and relaxing musical soundscape for fans of Adult Contemporary and Contemporary Jazz music.
