   Megaphone Man - Improvisational Punk Jazz    (Jan. 26, 2008)
Improvisational punk jazz trio Megaphone Man, pride themselves on a loose avant-garde approach in creating their unique blend of jazz music. Hailing from Athens Georgia USA, Megaphone Man consists of Neal Fountain on bass, Jeff Reilly on drums and Bryan Lopes on tenor saxophone. With carefully crafted thematic notes and rhythms, this young group of virtuosos demand as much from themselves as they do the overall group interplay of their contributing melodic ideas. Megaphone Man's debut CD recording "Live At The Tabernacle", is such an experience.

Recorded live at The Tabernacle Concert Hall in Atlanta, GA USA, Megaphone Man's performance captures their forty-five minute opening set with headliner and James Brown sideman, Maceo Parker. Instrumental songs such as "Razor Egg Hunt", "Reoccurring Nightmare", "Fat Gambling Liar", "Miles of Rust" and "Bubble Hat" not only demonstrate clever and witty song titles, they musically transform these titles into a work of art. Megaphone Man is not timid in taking chances with their improvisational skills, which should be evident by the fact their debut CD is a live recording and not a conceived studio recording.

In 2001, Atlanta based culture rag and weekly newspaper 'The Creative Loafing', named Megaphone Man the "Best Jazz Band" in the Atlanta metro area. One only has to listen to "Live At The Tabernacle" to see why the Creative Loafing title holds true. If this debut CD recording is any indication into the future of Megaphone Man, many exciting performances and musical journeys await.

About Leonard Haze
Leonard Haze recorded nine different Y&T albums. He gets the credit for naming Yesterday & Today (Y&T). As the story goes, one day a promoter called to book the band for a gig. The only problem was that the band had no name. While on the phone with the promoter, Leonard looked around his room and saw the Beatles' 'Yesterday and Today' album. In the heat of the moment, the band was named.

The drummer, who is said to have the world's fastest right foot, parted ways with legendary California rockers Y&T in June 2006.

Leonard Haze is currently playing with local acts Shotgunn Haze, The situation, Spun Cookie and sometimes guests with Johnny Gunn & Friends.

   GIRL IN A COMA - Handpicked by Morrissey - New York, NY (October 29, 2007 press release)
"Joan Jett and Kenny Laguna's Blackheart Records all-girl group, GIRL IN A COMA have been personally selected by Morrissey to join the remaining dates of his sold out U.S. tour. After letting go of his opening act on early last week, (see www.morrissey-solo.com for more info) Morrissey himself sought out Girl in a Coma. The band had their first performance on his tour on Thursday, October 25th at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City and was embraced by the renowned artist, as well as his fans.

Joan Jett discovered Girl in a Coma, a San Antonio, TX-based rock band made up of Nina Diaz (vocals/bass), Jenn Alva (drums) and Phanie Diaz (guitar), 3-years ago and immediately snatched the girls up and signed them to her independently run Blackheart Records. Girl in a Coma's Blackheart Records debut; Both Before I'm Gone was released on May, 2006. The band will surely gain a slew of new fans during the upcoming tour dates:

10/30 - Orpheum - Boston, MA

10/31 - Ram's Head - Baltimore, MD

11/2 - Constitution Hall - Wash DC

11/4 - Peace Center - Greenville, SC

11/5 - The Tabernacle - Atlanta, GA

11/7 - King Center - Melbourne, FL

11/8 - Fillmore - Miami, FL

About Blackheart Records:
Started by Joan Jett and Kenny Laguna (Jett s longtime producer, songwriting partner and friend) over 25-years ago, Blackheart Records has grown into one of the first successful independent record labels started by a woman. Joan Jett now releases all of her material on Blackheart Records and has discovered many bands, which she signed to the label including Girl in a Coma, The Dollyrots, The Vacancies and The Eyeliners.

   Tunisian Jazz Artist Radiates
"RayJam" is the solo release by Tunisian born lute/guitarist and visionary, Nabil Khemir. It's a luminous recording that embodies the enchanting sounds and spirits of North African Egyptian music, while remaining firmly entrenched in contemporary jazz fusion.

Nabil Khemir's fascination with jazz music, coupled with his cultural heritage is a profound experience in and of itself. While growing up beside the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea and in the heart of a Tunis metropolis firmly enriched his worldly perspective, Nabil was inspired by Western and European artists such as George Benson; Django Reinhardt; John McLaughlin and Pat Methany. This intermarriage of fused cultural worlds is no more evident, than on his debut musical CD recording for Blue Canoe Records. Featured song's like "Parfum D' Orient Et D' Occident", "Nadam" and "Hanin" demonstrate Nabil's clever way of injecting his delightful character into the music, while communicating with his gifted musician's in an uplifting, unspoken and artistic way.

"RayJam" features five original compositions and arrangements inspired by the 2004 musical hybrid invention that Nabil himself created. This unique one of a kind, hollowbody double neck instrument, allows Nabil to explore his musical playfulness by having an electric lute and electric guitar within grasp at a moments notice. Nabil aptly named his new creation, "RayJam". "Ray, I choose because the instrument gives off colors like a ray from the sun. Jam, I choose because the lute and guitar are vibrating and jamming together, an energy I feel while playing it," says Khemir.

Not to go unnoticed for his artistic achievments, Nabil Khemir was recognized and decorated with honors by the President of the Republic of Tunisia (Zen El-Abidin Ben Ali) for his cultural contribution to the country and its cultural heritage in June of 2007. If this is an early indication of the bright talents of young Nabil Khemir, this deserved modern day jazz gypsy will continue to garner new fans in Tunisia and around the world, with his live performances and his infectious electromagnetic sounds of "RayJam".
