Piano and All That Jazz Releases Something New Under The Sun

San Francisco, CA. March 6, 2009. Something New Under The Sun is the first release for record label Piano and All That Jazz. The album, featuring lyricist/vocalist Mark Stevens and composer/pianist Steven Cravis, is scheduled for release on March 6, 2009, coinciding with The Faith of Britain Day when millions of people across the globe will unite in prayer and meditation simultaneously for two minutes at 11:00 AM Greenwich time.

Mark Stevens and Steven Cravis reside in San Francisco and met in a piano retail store where Stevens worked as a salesman. With little discussion they agreed to collaborate, the result being fourteen original music compositions and song lyrics comprising Something New Under The Sun. The song “Father” tells of a grown man’s desire to express his love for his parent. “Tears of Joy” is a powerful anthem extolling the virtues of a nation. “Snowfall Sunrise” proclaims the beauty and majesty of nature in its most harsh season. Stevens’ frank vocals and Cravis’ subtle pianism are a compelling tandem throughout the compilation. The lyrics are flush with refinement. This album is
a blessing unto humankind and destined to become a classic.

Piano and All That Jazz is a record label headquartered in San Francisco, CA. Something New Under The Sun, the label’s first release, is available for purchase exclusively at iTunes

New CD Release by Laura Sullivan: Feast of Joy & Love

2007-04-01T14:49:00.001-07:00

Laura Sullivan recently released her fourth CD on her independent label, Sentient Spirit Records. This new album is titled Feast of Joy & Love. An enticing banquet for the ears, it features a blend of piano with ethereal vocals and other acoustic instruments such as violin, saxophone and percussion. In a creative twist to the standard record organization, the songs are set up as a menu including appetizers, first & second courses and dessert. The music is relaxing and soothing while delving into heartfelt realms inspired by Laura Sullivan's personal life experiences connected with joy and love.

The songs on Feast of Joy & Love consist of Laura's own compositions along with several classical adaptations which have surprising variations. The opening track, a medley of Bach favorites, is titled Bouquet of Bach. Waltzing with Beethoven, adapted from the Sonata Pathetique, is changed to a new time signature of ¾ time. Albinoni's Secret Smile, is an arrangement of the traditional Albinoni's Adagio (sometimes referred to as the saddest song in classical music) with an unexpected joyful key change. Ala M'Ode to Joy, based on Beethoven's Ode to Joy, also astonishes us with an altered time signature to ¾ time. Also included among the delicacies is a new arrangement of Greensleeves using lyrics from a mysterious dialect. Laura Sullivan employs her sensitive piano techniques that have appeared on her previous albums, and makes her vocal debut with rich layers of angelic harmony in Feast of Joy & Love.

Raised in a musical family, Laura began playing piano at 4 years old. At age 8 she was writing compositions and by 18 had composed a body of work, including 6 feature length musicals for children which were performed with Laura's troupe, Star Company Children's Theater. Laura is a member of the piano artist collective Whisperings founded by composer, pianist and radio host, David Nevue. Two of her releases were produced by renowned artist Chris Camozzi, (appearing with artists Jeff Lorber, Michael Bolton, Maria Carey, Barbara Streisand and many others).

RJ Lannan of the New Age Reporter writes, "Laura Sullivan's music shimmers with an effervescent vitality." Laura's release, Mystical America, was designated the number one best New Age album of 2004 by Bill Binkelman of Wind and Wire.

Laura Sullivan's new album, Feast of Joy & Love, is available at:

http://cdbaby.com/cd/lsullivan4

And at online retailers Apple iTunes, Amazon.com as well as wholesale through Sentient Spirit Records. Please visit http://www.laura-sullivan.com/ for further details.

iTunes credit towards the rest of the album

2007-03-29T15:11:00.001-07:00

Today, Apple introduced the "Complete My Album" feature Thursday on
its iTunes Store. It now gives a full credit of 99 cents for every
track the user previously purchased and applies it toward the
purchase of the complete album.

For instance, most albums on iTunes cost $9.99 so a customer who
already bought three tracks can download the rest of the album for
$7.02.

So, if you've ever bought any tracks from my CDs on iTunes, but not
the whole CD, and you would like to get the rest of the CD, Apple
will honor this retroactively up to 90 days from now, for any
purchases you made within the past four years (since iTunes first was
launched).

Here are all my links to my iTunes albums:

http://www.stevencravis.com at the 'buy downloads' links for each
album.

Here is more information about the new 'Complete My Album' feature on
iTunes:
