"The highlight September performance in Paris was tenor saxophonist Ray Blue. This former member of Sun Ra's Arkestra and student of Ornette Coleman set the Caveau des Oubliettes on fire...His music was fresh and captured the mind without straying away too long from the strongest groove." Downbeat Magazine

Ray's newest CD, "Berries and Blues" serves you the fruits of his music-a story is told by merging jazz, blues and African folk rhythms. The players chosen for this project are brilliant musicians who came together on the gig in Paris, with a chemistry and sound that was nothing less than exceptional.

Ray has preformed with Steve Turre, Eddie Henderson, Gary Bartz, T.K. Blue, Bob Gaddy, Wycliff Gordon and Benny Powell. He plays with The Spirit of Life Ensemble and tours with The Ray Charles Show.

The Ray Blue Sound is at once big and warm, dynamic and romantic, nostalgic and modern. It's "Blue Jazz".

Here's how Mike describes the band: "What's the magic in Mustard Seed Magic? The incomparable vocals of Stephanie Harrison? The fact that they've ditched the guitar for the funky electric piano and organ playing of Mike Ventimiglia? The smooth get-you-off-your-feet grooves of Tommy Nagy and Trevor Coen? Who cares! Their gospel-soul inspired covers and originals have created a loyal following in the short time they've been together. Come join in the magic. GET YOUR MUSTARD ON!!" Well we're excited. And looking forward to joining the magic.

The Warp/The Weft
Alternative, Folk/Traditional
Rondout Music Lounge
21 Broadway
Kingston, NY   See Map
The Warp/The Weft is a new musical collective, formed and fronted by Poughkeepsie singer-songwriter Shane Murphy. A progressive, alt-folk outfit, The Warp/The Weft pays evident homage to Jethro Tull, Tim/Jeff Buckley, Fairport Convention, while remaining wholly unique and compelling for its modern audience. The music is a part, a product--of reverence for--the natural landscape, but is rooted, too, in the culture of urban life and urban decay. Former DownBeat editor and Tim Buckley guitarist Lee Underwood has lauded Murphy for "a voice at once strong and ethereal; lyrics insightful and impassioned; music beautiful and uplifting." And from the September 2012 issue of the Hudson Valley's Chronogram: "[Murphy's] swooning, darkly expressive Tim Buckley-Scott Walker voice is surprising--here operatic, there a seething whisper, but always demanding attention...such lyrical prowess and vocal chops grant license to almost anything."

End of November Party....jump off that sofa...let's do it, let's do it, do it....BRILLIANT!!!

THE SHOTS have a unique twist to some of the covers and originals they play....“Rocking Bagpipes” - They mix in the bagpipes to songs like The Black Eyed Peas, “I Gotta Feeling,” Billy Idol, “Dancing with Myself,” or AC/DC, “It’s a long Way to the Top”.

As a matter of fact, Lenny’s original reggae bagpipe tune, "The Rasta Piper" won 2nd place in World Music in the 2006 Billboard Song contest.

Lenny - Sax, Bagpipes, Flute, Didgeridoo, Harmonica, Vest Frottoir (washboard), Vocals Mark - Guitar, Vocals Mike - Guitar, Vocals Russ - Drums, Percussion Dave - Bass, Vocals
