(NEW)Christmas in St. Michaels
St. Michaels has an annual holiday party and silent auction to raise money for local charities. We were happy to play music for their festive event in December of 2019, and were looking forward to playing for them again in 2020. Then the pandemic hit. Gatherings have been cancelled, and people will have to celebrate the holidays at home. The folks in St Michaels still want to have the merriment and joy that music can bring, so we were commissioned to make this CD. An alternative title for the recording could be “Stuck at Home for the Holidays, a Covid 19 Christmas”, but that doesn't sound very festive, plus, we hope this CD will be enjoyed for many years to come, even after the novel coronavirus is no longer a threat. This CD, a mix of classic Christmas Carols and popular holiday
tunes, has been recorded in our own unique jazz style. We hope
you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed playing for
it, and that our music brings joy to your home this, and every
holiday season, and helps to make your Christmas happy for years
to come. |

Nuts and Bolts
Susan Jones - violin Original acoustic jazz from violinist Susan Jones and saxophonist/clarinetist/flutist Seth Kibel, drawing upon a variety of diverse musical influences. The brand new CD release Nuts and Bolts brings together Seth Kibel and Susan Jones, both of whom play with numerous musical ensembles in the Washington/Baltimore region, for an album of original acoustic jazz compositions. Both have demonstrated their expertise in jazz, swing, blues, klezmer and classical music throughout the Mid-Atlantic area. In their first collaboration, they introduce diverse elements into their compositions and provide skilled performances and improvisations. The title track, written by Kibel, has a funk and rock and roll feel. His "Klezmer Nova" combines traditional Jewish folk sounds with bossa nova rhythms. Jones provides a Cuban flavor with "Un Poquito de Salsa" and draws on the Ladino folk tradition - which combines Spanish folk music and Jewish soul - on her arrangement of the traditional song, "Los Bilbilicos." They are joined by guitarist Paul Wingo, pianist James Levy, bassist James King and bassist Bob Abbott, who also contributed an original tune. The album includes six songs by Kibel, who plays tenor saxophone, clarinet and flute on the recording. He is leader, clarinetist, and composer for the area's premier "alternative klezmer" band, The Alexandria Kleztet. That band has released two albums, both of which won the Washington Area Music Association (WAMA) award for Best World Music Recording. He also fronts the swing group Corner Pocket and Seth Kibel's Dixieland All-Stars as well as performing with numerous area bands. He spent several years as saxophonist for The Daryl Davis Band. Jones contributes three original tunes and arrangements to the album and plays violin. Jones leads the Susan Jones Quartet, which has released one album, Violin Dreams. She performs regularly with the Machaya Klezmer Band, Silver String Quintet, Mariachi De las Compadres and the rock group Jane Doe. |
