| MASTERS
IN THIS HALL features Adult Contemporary Jazz treatments of 12 holiday
favorites, each one a unique arrangement and orchestration that reflects the spirit and
energy of the song. Performances, drawing style influences from Jazz, Gospel,
Classical and Latin music, are by Pete Levin and Danny Gottlieb, two veterans of the New
York Jazz scene, internationally known for their work with many Jazz and Pop artists. Originally recorded in 1990 and released on Gramavision Records, this CD got
extensive airplay during the 1990 holiday season, but had distribution problems and was
difficult to find. Gramavision folded a year later, and MASTERS
became an unavailable collector's item. Finally, this year Pete revived the
orchestrations from the original MIDI files and digital drum tracks and remixed them to
create this reissue. Included on the CD are two "bonus" tracks, remixes of
two songs from Pete & Danny's first Christmas CD, "THE
NEW AGE OF CHRISTMAS".
MASTERS 2001 will be available
within the next few weeks through retail internet distributors, but is currently available
only by prepaid mail order. See ordering information
below. (Hey, it makes a neat Christmas
gift!)
