This release marks the beginning of a series organized around the nationalities of the composers in the Segovia Archive. The pieces recovered from the archive were dedicated to Sergovia or commissioned by him, involving composers from eight countries. The Spanish composers recorded here are to be followed soon by an album of French composers.

The genesis for this unique project is a collection of pieces recovered in 2001 at Andrés Segovia's home in Spain. +The works, dedicated to or commissioned by him, were subsequently published as “The Segovia Archive Series”. +Guitarist Roberto Moronn Pérez researched the works and found pieces never before recorded or handicapped by poor marketplace visibility. +This realization birthed an opportunity: a series of recordings organized around the nationalities of the composers in the Segovia Archive.

Series is Portland, OR based jazz vocalist, composer, trumpet and harmonica player Robert Moore. + He has evolved a sound uniquely his own, mixing his Southern roots - influences of soul and gospel - into his own distinct bebop and swinging jazz interpretations. + Outta My Soul showcases six originals and six compositions from diverse writers including Frank Loesser, Sting, Gene Ammons and King Pleasure - one instrumental and eleven vocals from delicate to scat to blues proclamation. + There’s even a Ken Nordine-esque spoken ‘word jazz’ number.

Bolero!: Orchestral Fireworks

John Mackey is one of today's most popular and sought- after composers of contemporary classical music, with an emphasis on wind band and orchestral music. His music runs the gamut of human emotion, from the sublime to the ridiculous. One minute he offers the sound of ripping metal, then suddenly gives you a melody that's achingly beautiful. John always writes with a purpose, be it jostling you through the wildest Manhattan cab ride ever, or painting that ethereal hour just before sunset. Brilliant performances by THE DALLAS WINDS have been captured in superb audiophile sound by Reference Recordings' award- winning engineering team: Keith O. Johnson and Sean Martin. Special guest artist on ASPHALT COCKTAIL is Principal Trumpet of the New York Philharmonic, Christopher Martin.

These new works for piano, chamber instruments and electronics were composed in celebration of a newly transformed world, for the new 5,125 year cycle of the Mayan Calendar- inspired by the happy fact that the world did NOT end on Dec. 21, 2012 at the end of the previous Mayan Calendar cycle! All the pieces touch on themes of transformation, of resonances across time, of cycles of rebirth. Pianist Nadia Shpachenko-Gottesman is currently Assoc. Prof. of Music, Cal. State Poly Univ, Pomona. She has performed in solo recitals and with orchestras across North America, Europe and Asia.
