CareFusion New York Jazz Festival To Take Place June 17 – 26, 2010
While New York isn't a city that is short on jazz, we are a city that gets used to having c
ertain things. So when we didn't get our annual George Wein produced jazz festival this past summer, for the first time in 37 years I might add, we missed it! Well, suffer no more New York, it's back.
Wein and his New Festival Productions will produce the 10-day CareFusion New York Jazz Festival which will take place June 17 - 26, 2010. Events will take place at several of the cities venues including Carnegie Hall, Central Park SummerStage, Crotona Park in the Bronx, City Winery, Harlem Stage Gatehouse, The Jazz Gallery, Jazz Standard, (Le) Poisson Rouge, Louis Armstrong House Museum, Music Hall of Williamsburg, Peter Norton Symphony Space, Prospect Park Bandshell: Celebrate Brooklyn, Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Studio Museum in Harlem and The Town Hall.
And, you won't even have to wreck your budget getting your jazz on. That's always a good thing, isn't it? Most shows at partner venues will be priced between $15 – 20, making it possible for more music lovers to participate in festival events.
Artists and additional venue information will be announced at a later date.

Lisa Hannigan Releases New Live Record
Irish musician Lisa Hannigan has a new record out. The six track album, Live At Fingerprin
ts is, for now, exclusively at thinkindie.com but will be available everywhere else on December 15. For those who watch Last Call with Carson Daly, set your recording device of choice to NBC (1:35 AM Eastern time, check your local listings for when it airs in your time zone). She and her band will perform on the show Friday, November 20. So check her out on that. And for your viewing and listening pleasure, check out this clip of Hannigan covering Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus.” Okay, am I the only one who thinks that the record should have had seven tracks? Why isn't a version of that cover not on the disc?

The InBox, Vol. 1
I've been busy of late. You know, I've got the whole chicks gotta make a living thing going on like most of the world's population! Anyway, I've been slowly but surely making my way through my inbox reading the email that comes my way. Somewhere in the mist of reading about recommended bands and listening to submissions, I thought, "hey Quirky NY Chick, maybe you should try something a little bit different!" So, after an in-depth meeting with the powers that be over here at QuirkyNYChick.com ... yeah, in other words, myself, I decided to come up with The InBox.
What is The InBox? This will be where I'll share some of the info that lands in my inbox. Since I'm still testing the waters with this feature, I'm sure it'll go through some changes before it reaches its final state and becomes a regular part of my little corner of the blog world.

New York based Ivory Tower Project play classic pop/rock. In listening to them, my first thought was they kind of remind me of Survivor. So, if you like your rock with a strong dose of the whole 80's vibe, check them out. You can listen to samples of their music HERE.

UK based MyOw
nFlag have a record out, Divello. I gave them a listen and my first thought was, they remind me of some of the more aggressive sounds that came out of Seattle back in the 90's. With the exception of Alice In Chains, I got rather bored of the so called "Seattle sound" rather quickly oh and I'm still feeling mad love for the one off Temple of the Dog record but that's a different story and I digressed. If you like your rock a little more on the aggressive side, check them out. My favorite track on the record is "Black Lady."

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not a big fan of hip-hop. There have been a few rhymes here and there th
at I've liked but in general it's not my cup of tea. Anyway, an email from a nice gentleman over at The Nu Breed Music Group landed in my inbox introducing me to the sounds of a young man named Tryfle, the son of reggae artist Keith Hudson. He has a new record out called Lost Son which is available at The Nu Breed web store. I had a listen to some tracks and decided that "My Bad" has a catchy chorus and music. You can watch the video HERE. If your cup of tea is of the hip-hop flava, check him out.

freesoulJAH is, well, I'm not really sure I can properly describe him. On first look, I thought perhaps he might do some sort of regg
ae tinged music. But I gave him a listen and it turns out he does some experimental (experimental being the operative word), oft times psychedelic, hippy folk type stuffs. Yes, I said stuffs! I found myself with the urge to light some incense and craving brownies, you know, the special kind that your friend Moonbeam Starshine's parents make. He has a bunch of music up on his website to listen to and download, so, pop on over and check him out for yourselves. "Peace To The People" is the track that stands out the most to me from his album Light Headed. I'll be honest, I'm still trying to process the record.

Everyone's Talking are a couple of guys out of Canada, Evan Kuhn and Daniel Rosenoer to be exact. They 
are of the progressive pop/rock genre. They have a new record out called Dragonflies. It can be found on their website (HERE) as one of those "pay what you want deals" so, you have no one to blame but yourself if you don't like the price! Anyway, I've had a listen to some of the tracks and decided that the title track "Dragonflies" and "Between You and Me" are the standout tracks for me. Swing on over and check them out for yourselves.
