I couldn’t believe how much beef and clarity I’d had been missing out on…” “These amps are just light years beyond what anyone else is doing!” www.andreberry.net • André Berry with David Sanborn @ Blue Note / Japan David Sanborn’s world renowned engineer never even had André Berry in the mix at the Blue Note in Nagoya Japan. (André uses 2 WJ Powered 2x10 cabs & a WJBP pre amp.) His comment was they were so flat he didn’t need to have André in the mix in that size room. At the Blue Note Tokyo he only had a little in the mix. David Sanborn was astounded but what a difference it made for him with Endorsee André Berry using them. In a passing comment he said would like every bass player that plays with him to have a WJ Bass rig! David now owns a WJ 2x10 and a WJBP Pre-amp for his home studio. Blue Note Tokyo now has them as their house rig & they are also due for delivery to other Blue Note Clubs around the world. • Nate Phillips ( Nathaniel Phillips) (Billy Cobham, David Sanborn, En-vogue, Esther Phillips, George Benson, Gerald Albright, Grover Washington, Herb Alpert, Richard Elliot, Rick Braun, Stevie Wonder, The Crusaders and so many more...) “The Boldest Sounding Bass Amp On The Planet!

  • A Peter White Christmas with Rick Braun and Mindi Abair Brings the Sounds of the Season to Parker Playhouse
    November 20, 2015 Media Contact: Savannah Whaley Pierson Grant Public Relations 954-776-1999 ext. 225 Jan Goodheart, Broward Center 954-765-5814 A PETER WHITE CHRISTMAS WITH RICK BRAUN AND MINDI ABAIR BRINGS THE SOUNDS OF THE SEASON TO PARKER PLAYHOUSE FORT LAUDERDALE – Celebrate the holidays with A Peter White Christmas with Rick Braun and Mindi Abair at Parker Playhouse on Saturday, December 12 at 8 p.m. One of the most versatile and prolific acoustic guitarists, White leads the contemporary jazz lineup in this seasonal concert combining smooth jazz cheer with traditional Christmas classics such as “White Christmas” and “Silent Night,” plus a few surprises along the way. White launched his career as a keyboardist touring with Al Stewart and worked with him in the studio on the classic album Year of the Cat. The tour and that album marked the beginning of a 20-year association with Stewart. During that time, the two musicians co-wrote numerous songs, including Stewart’s 1978 hit, “Time Passages.” After years as a backup musician and a session player, White launched his solo recording career and his annual Christmas tour is fueled by the success of his two highly regarded holiday albums, Songs of the Season (1997) and A Peter White Christmas (2007). Braun adds his stylistically eclectic trumpeting to the mix. A consistent chart-topper who has amassed a catalogue of #1 Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart and radio hits throughout his solo career, Braun has also produced #1 hits for David Benoit, Marc Antoine and former Rod Stewart band sidekick Jeff Golub.

  • The Way It Used to Be, Is Fanciful, Silky, and Radiant with All the Charm of What We Have Come to Expect from the Above Average Newer Talent Emerging These Days
    “The Way It Used To Be, is fanciful, silky, and radiant with all the charm of what we have come to expect from the above average newer talent emerging these days. All in all, a solid project deserving of a place in your collection. Patrick Cooper is not one to overlook, and The Way It Used To Be serves as more than just a reminiscent trip down memory lane…much more.” – Ronald Jackson, the Smooth Jazz Ride “You certainly can't judge keyboardist Patrick Cooper's latest recording by its cover. Inside and out, the CD features vintage photographs of Elvis Presley, Ray Charles and B.B. King, suggesting a strong retro vibe. What Cooper has to offer is retro, all right, but it evokes the likes of such smooth-jazz pioneers as George Duke (and) the Crusaders.” – Mike Joyce, The Washington Post “From the opening infectious and danceable notes rhythmically tapped out by keyboardist Patrick Cooper on "Struttn'," the first radio single from his forthcoming second album, The Way It Used To Be, the vibe is instantly set for a throwback collection that puts a contemporary spin on vintage jazz funk. The disc comprised of eight original songs penned and produced by Cooper that celebrate the best qualities of the past…” - TheUrbanMusicScene.com “The only thing to do when this CD ends is press ‘play’ again and let the combination of the soulful, the groovy and the classy wash over you again.” – Chris Mann “Reminiscent of a time when music expressed raw emotion and exposed the soul, Patrick Cooper’s The Way It Used To Be is a treat not to be missed.

  • Henry Butler Bio Widely Hailed As a Pianist and Vocalist, Henry Butler Is
    Henry Butler Bio Widely hailed as a pianist and vocalist, Henry Butler is considered the premier exponent of the great New Orleans jazz and blues piano tradition. A master of musical diversity, he combines the percussive jazz piano playing of McCoy Tyner and the New Orleans style playing of Professor Longhair to craft a sound uniquely his own. A rich amalgam of jazz, Caribbean, classical, pop, blues, and R&B, his music is as excitingly eclectic as that of his New Orleans birthplace. Butler performs as a soloist; with his blues groups—Henry Butler and the Game Band, and Henry Butler and Jambalaya; and with his traditional jazz band, Papa Henry and the Steamin’ Syncopators, as well as with other musicians. In 2013, Butler, Bernstein & The Hot 9 was formed to record Viper’s Drag, released in the summer of 2014 as the first release of the relaunched Impulse! label. His recordings have been noted by Downbeat and Jazz Times, and his performances are regularly reviewed in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, and others. He has appeared on the hit HBO show Treme and is included on the 2012 CD Treme, Season 2: Music from the Original HBO Series. Blinded by glaucoma at birth, Butler was admitted to the Louisiana School for the Blind (now the Louisiana School for the Visually Impaired) in Baton Rouge at the age of five, and cycled back and forth between Baton Rouge during the school year and the Calliope Housing Projects in New Orleans in the summer. Butler may have been born blind, but someone with clearer, deeper, more creative vision would be hard to find.
