NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/07/07 -- KOCH Records is thrilled to announce the
release of "Angels of Shanghai," the new album by legendary recording
artist Bob James, on April 10th, 2007. This unique East meets West musical
exploration features contemporary jazz artists (including James himself,
Fourplay's Nathan East and Harvey Mason, Jack Lee, Lewis Pragasam)
interacting with young musicians from Shanghai who perform on traditional
Chinese instruments, including include the er-hu (a two string violin), the
pipa (similar to a lute), guzheng (a cross between a harp & a zither) and
dizi (different sized bamboo flutes). Ancient sounds blend with modern
technology and creativity to produce an experience with no boundaries.
This project has been a very personal journey for James, literally in the
thousands of miles traveled and creatively in his connection to this young,
talented and outstanding group of musicians. His collaboration with these
remarkable young musicians began with a visit by Bob to the Shanghai
Conservatory of Music where he was so impressed with their creativity and
enthusiasm that two more trips to Shanghai followed -- for recording
sessions at the Shanghai People's Radio Station Studios. The project came
full circle with completion of this full CD -- which has already been
released in Japan and in Korea.
Although a unique project in many ways, at its heart "Angels of Shanghai"
is still a Bob James recording. This cross-cultural collaboration will
garner many new fans, but its blend of contemporary jazz with strong
melodies and exotic textures will also satisfy Bob's many longtime and
faithful followers. The CD features nine original Bob James compositions,
including "Celebration," "Dream With Me," and "Angels Theme: The Invention
of Love." "Endless Time" is co-written by fellow Fourplay member, Nathan
East, who also sings lead vocals. A special treat is a new "Angels of
Shanghai" version of Bob's signature composition: the classic theme from
"Taxi," here titled "Angela With Purple Bamboo."
Summing up his passion and enthusiasm for "Angels of Shanghai," Bob James
says, "I love seeing the universal power of music work its magic to cross
borders even when political solutions seem impossible. I invite you to come
along on this adventure."
The Angels group has performed live at the Bangkok Jazz Festival, the Java
Jazz Festival in Jakarta, at the Seongnam Arts Center in Seoul and,
finally, at the Blue Note Nite Clubs in Japan. A U.S. tour is planned for
April 2007. Cities include Traverse City and Monroe, Michigan, Cleveland
Heights, Ohio, Pittsburgh, Pa, New York City and Huntington, Long Island.
