Don Stiernberg's Other CD Releases
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
"Bye Bye Blues," Kenneth "Jethro" Burns. The father of the jazz mandolin, Jethro teams up here with Don on rhythm guitar. Twenty one “goodies” as Jethro used to say. Classic standards (e.g., Mood Indigo, Idaho, Paramount Stomp) done with every note up front where you can hear it. | |
|
“Swing Low, Sweet Mandolin,” Kenneth “Jethro” Burns. Jethro revisits his personal favorites with Don supplying the changes on rhythm guitar. An absolute must for any jazz mandolin fan, as well as for those interested in hearing some masterful, “in the pocket” swing guitar rhythm. | |
 |
"John Carlini - The Game's Afoot". Master guitarist and composer John Carlini, regarded as one of the architects of New Acoustic and Dawg music, presents his working quartet, eight original compositions ranging in style from bluegrass-bebop to ballads and blues, (including a revisit of his standard "Mugavero"),plus a modern view of the traditional "Wayfaring Stranger". Banjo legend Pat Cloud appears on five of the tracks, completing the "jazz played on bluegrass instruments" motif. Liner notes by Tony Rice. | |
“The Swing Sessions" (Cronyn Records), John Parrott. Why are all the guitar magazines (Acoustic Guitar, Vintage Guitar, Flatpicking Guitar and Just Jazz Guitar) buzzing about this CD? Because no one plays rhythm guitar like John Parrott. Don's fellow Jethro Burns Quartet alumnus steps out here, driving a carefully selected set with his L5 and help from the likes of Jim Cox on bass and clarinet legend Chuck Hedges. |

“Guest House" (Alexander Davidoff), Al Day. Sing Out Magazine refers to Al as "Chicago's best kept secret...he holds out his melodic hand to those fallen on tuneless times...". This CD features Al's harmonically and lyrically rich songs in an acoustic trio setting with Don soloing on nearly every track and Mark Edelstein articulating bodacious grooves on the upright. The combination is not folk, not pop, not to be missed... | |
|
"Lulu's Back In Town," Greg "Spats" Studebaker. Swinging traditional jazz in the Louis Armstrong-Wild Bill Davison-Bobby Hacket vein featuring Spats on Cornet, flugelhorn, valve trombone and vocals. Don plays rhythm and solos on a Monteleone archtop guitar and the venerable Jim Cox on bass shows yet again why he has been the player of choice for jazz stars like Earl Hines and Marian McPartland. | |
|
"Brave Again" (Booglet Records), Ingrid Graudins. Maybe you saw Ingrid on tour with Jonatha Brooke. Maybe you just enjoy beautiful music. In either case you'll want to check out this debut from one of Chicago's most respected singer-songwriters, surrounded by some of the the city's most renowned musicians including Johnny Frigo, John Rice, Brian Wilke, Larry Beers and Bob Lizik. For pure vocal gift, Ingrid has no equal. | |
