The follow up to the critically acclaimed Craig Sharmat and Neal Andersson album, "Strings", Aptly titled “A New Set Of Strings.”
As several songs from ‘Strings’ continued to get played on the SiriusXM ESCAPE channel for well over two years, Craig and Neil thought why not do a follow up and make it better! How you ask? They hired a world class orchestra for this project! There are very few projects that feature Gypsy Jazz guitars and full orchestra let alone playing traditional American Songbook tunes. "A New Set Of Strings" is a truly unique project!
Richard Smith
‘Bring It In’ is my love letter to the deep community of musicians who play because they genuinely love music and come together to make music for music’s sake. During Covid, a group of talented musicians and I got together to play just for fun and ‘musical maintenance.’ We’d played for many hours at a time and in the process, we rediscovered and reinforced the joy and the healing power of music when played together, underscoring yet again that music is a team sport. When we played, we would end the sessions and ‘bring it in’ with a high five or a hand slap or a group hug. You’d often hear someone say, ‘This is the reason I got into music!’ And it is true. Good music brings us all together and brings us joy.
Smooth Jazz Alley
"Come On!" was built for the stage— A track born from the trio’s desire to create something irresistibly fun for live shows to energize our audiences. What started as a simple idea during a spontaneous session quickly evolved, with one groove leading to the next. The result? A smooth jazz groove with contagious momentum that was built to light up the stage and keep the energy flowing!
ERIN STEVENSON
Another personal favorite singer...Phil Perry, and THIS song...Its the chords and the passionate lyrics for me. It’s easy to over sing this song but anything more would take away from a perfectly produced and well written song... sometimes you have to just deliver the song. Co-produced by Erin Stevenson and David P. Stevens.
