Jazz CDs

Faxl performed and recorded live these 11 pieces. The sound beds were chosen for their abilities to complement a wide range of media - from video games or you tubes to commercials or documentary sound beds.

Faxl gathered to play and celebrate E.J. Gold's 73rd birthday, hence the title of the CD.

Wizzards was recorded during the early days of the SmogOps Canteen...

nO lINer noTeS -- we cant rite.

Hotwired and already in motion, the Jazzmobile will be over to pick you up just as soon as you alert it by powering up this fabulous CD!

Gypsy violins, foggy atmospheric nights, this is a jazz feast not to be missed.

E.J. Gold composed these compositions for horns and rock orchestra.

"With blues like this one can really swing in hell." -- ML, Chicago, IL

Blue Smoke...is it a vision of glowing ashes rising like the Phoenix from the dust of long-forgotten TV dramas?...something that cannot quite meet the eye.

A polyrhythmic jazz album that creates a paradox of familiarity and unexpected deviation in a deceptively complex interplay of sounds.

Tribute to Annette Washington, a "woman of the world, a world of passionate immersion in the stuff of which the blues are made."

Beginning with the funky "Sushi Serenade", this CD rocks with an oriental twist. Jazz Koto a la Yamamoto is a unique musical surprise and one that delivers a sensational driving bassline, entwined with the high and haunting koto tattoo. Walk through the gentle rustle of a tall green bamboo forest and find yourself at the Down Home Geisha. Let your hair down, get our your chopsticks and have some fun

Riffs rolling round and around broadcasting interstellar signals, beaming faster than light through the blackness of night.

Zaphod & the New Harmonics have just completed a truly awesome tour! They've played all the major planets and intergalactic crew ships and were the opening act for Hot Black Desiato at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Although Hot Black's band is known as the hottest band to ever crash into the sun, notable pop reviewer Clive Heat-Lightening, writing in Bauxite Trapezoid, was recently quoted as saying, " the fact that Zaphod & the New Harmonics opened for Hot Black Desiato clearly proves that their music can be survived..."

Slinky, bluesy jazz from another music portal in the time-space continuum. Just glide on through this moody room of Galaxian tunes, turn up the volume and move! Rotate to the left and slide to the right, sink into the floor and float on up. Hey, it's easy. Just leave your mind on hold and let the rest go. This CD is a fantastic musical adventure into the more plasma nature of things. And, by the way, if you do end up merging with a wall or a couch or some other such thing, simply unstick yourself when the CD is over and bring it on home for another day.

It's Improvisational Jazz at it's liveliest! E.J. Gold and Friends takes you to a time when Jazz Men challenged and accepted challenges. The listener can close their eyes and visualize an impromptu session happening in a small bar. You know the place ... the one off the tourist traveled streets ... the one tourists wish they could find but it's strictly "locals only." That's where this music happens.

We invite you to cross over the line with us through and beyond the astral plane on a journey toward Liberation...

"The Last Set at the Rembrandt Room is one of my favorite albums. I remember what it was like recording the album in the early '90's...

This is old time rock at its best -- definitely dance music and I do mean boogey-woogey rock and roll.

Surely, everyone's heard of cool jazz but this jazz is so hot, it will make your ears burn!

Percussion at its best. What began as an impromptu jam session, metamorphosed into an elegant ensemble of sound. Rhythmic, pulsing, sinuous...

Elwood was born of slave descendancy in Mize, Mississippi in 1897 and died December 30, 1936. Living in the South as a horn player blow'in out his soul, he was never able to record during his lifetime.

A stellar ride into a musical sphere that defies your current concepts of musical reality. Here's an exercise. I'd like you to do. Buy the CD, take a quality work of visual art, turn on the CD, clear your mind and journey into the art using this music as a guide. When you're done, go outside and sit with your back against an extremely old tree in order to ground yourself. Have a nice trip.

This quintet is hot.

E. J. Gold is a multi-faceted artist: songwriter, singer, composer, musician, painter, video artist, virtual reality creator.

E.J. plays sax and harmonica with these 3 young inspired jazz musicians. Half the cuts are on the calibre of jazz standards i.e. Sunny by Bobby Hebb, Blue in Green by Miles Davis, Footprints by Wayne Shorter, Blue Bossa by Kenny Dorham and Naima by John Coltrane -- songs all have heard and may not have known their titles. For those who have had the fortune to come to the Institute, this is the elusive jazz CD you may have heard but was never available, until now.

Mill Street Jazz Lab, a hot-bed for young and old musicians has brought them together to produce jazz light enough to close your eyes and travel elsewhere.

It was Donald Byrd who explained to me how to get the most out of my instrument "Your ax is your voice, it's how you sing." -- E.J. Gold

Anatomy of a music engine - at the core of the Carousel - a trio of musicians pumps life into the heart of the blues. Searing guitar lines weave an elegant tapestry of sound with the solar splashes of a Hammond B3 atop a rock solid rhythmic foundation strong enough to swing a Universe.

Faxl performed and recorded live 14 versatile "Travelin' Blues" sound beds. Each evokes a different ambience carrying it forward to keep the attention moving.

Faxl performed and recorded live these 12 original pieces. The sound beds were chosen for this album for their abilities to complement a wide variety of moving images.

Elegant motivic interplay blends classical piano and jazz.
