New SSJ Releases

Audrey Morris
Renée Raff
Ted Rosenthal
Eiji Taniguchi w/ Eden Attwood
Pinky Winters

The above just-reissued Pinky Winters CD collects her first LP along with the rehearsal session for the 1954 album, and the Pinky/Zoot Sims sessions from around the same period. . .for a total of twenty tracks. Coincidentally, today Pinky takes part in a full-band rehearsal for her next CD, Winters in Summer (her 10th), a bossa affair featuring some of SoCal's finest players. I've been privileged to attend most of the smaller-scale rehearsals, and I've never seen Pinky in a happier or more creative state. The album will be recorded in late June with a scheduled release date of early 2011 on SSJ Records.

Bill,

Tremendous thanks for whatever you did to get these released. The Pinky Winters looks like the great item, though all others look good too. Does the Audrey Morris contain any bonus material? I have the original. Does the Eden title have all vocals? Please let us know if CD Baby might distribute any of these titles.

Thank you again. You are making a great contribution.

No, three vocals and not on CDBaby. But they'll all be on dustygroove.com next week. Thanks for your kind words.

Bill,

Could you tell us something about Renee Raff, and possibly share a sample of her voice? I may need some encouragement (as I am overspent!). I don't think Amazon has ever provided sound samples of an SSJ title.
