REVIEW FROM L.A. JAZZ SCENE

Liberation
Juan Manuel (Artist Unlimited)

By: Jonathan Barg

Juan Manuel plays both acoustic and electric guitars in this fine showcase effort. The eight-selection CD spans his talent for classical, flamenco, blues and jazz styles. Rather than recording a disc of solo tunes, he has invited an ensemble of other talented musicians to help. His finger picking style on "La Vida Sin Blues" sells this solid blues number and the fat trombone of Sal Gonzales rounds out this excellent tune. "Izabelle" features the alto saxophone of David Caceres and the tune really grooves with a Dave Koz type feel. This is a tight, together selection where Manuel adds his touches but wisely lays back and lets the alto take center stage. "Asian Rainbow" is a hot contemporary jazz number where Manuel's classical guitar plays in harmony with Caceres' alto sax. This selection is perfect for sailing down Pacific Coast Highway in your new sports car on the way to your beach house for a week long vacation. There's no way to listen to this tune and not feel happy.

Liberation is a very polished musical work, made even more impressive since I learned much of it was recorded in one take. If you'd like to experience contemporary jazz guitar and sax that is cool, that swings, that's bluesy and introspective all on the same CD, then this is it. Let's look forward to future works by Sen(or Juan Manual. A rising star, to be sure. Information on the artist and ordering the CD, visit the web at www.ArtistUnlimited.com

Steve Liddell Featured Artist May 5th


Steve Liddell Music
Folk Rock / Soul / Pop


Music has always been a major part of Steve Liddell's life. As a kid he remembers the weekends listening old records of the great Soul singers such as Millie Jackson, Teddy Pendergrass, Jackson 5 and Prince. As he got older, he began singing in the church choir and was even a member of a trio singing group.

In his adolescent and teenage years Liddell was introduced to many new styles of music ranging from the hip hop sound of LL Cool J, Run DMC, the Beastie Boys and Whoudini to the New Wave and Rock sounds of The Cure, Duran Duran, 10,000 Maniacs, Guns n'Roses, Terence Trent D'Arby(Sananda Maitreya) Sinead O'Connor and grooving sounds of Steely Dan, Hall and Oates, Sade and Edie Brickell.

Growing up in a small rural town he even found an affinity for the honest storytelling of Classic Country from such bands as Alabama, Ronnie Milsap, George Strait, George Jones and others. Building off diverse influences from the past and more recent ones Steve Liddell blends his love for all types of music and adds African and Latin rhythms to create a sound reminiscent of his influences but still his own.

Liddell writes songs from the heart that speaks to listeners as he shares his experiences of love and loss and the ever present champion called hope.

• Six years performing his music and playing shows from coast to coast and on the islands of Hawai'i. Liddell has also performed in the world famous city of Rio de Janerio, Brazil and recently returned from touring the East Coast and the UK in the Spring '07.
• Liddell has successfully promoted himself regionally in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas and performed during SXSW in Austin in 2004, 2005 and 2006.
• Steve Liddell's groove-laden soul rock and handcrafted acoustic songs give this singer-songwriter an honest folk appeal that helps him win over audiences wherever he performs.

"The gift of Liddell's music is that he's adept at blending styles and making it come out with a breezy, comforting quality. His jazzy, world-beat vibes go down smooth and he has the songs and voice to hold court wherever he goes." says Gary Hizer, Music Editor for the Urban Tulsa Weekly.

Matt Gleason, Music Writer at the Tulsa World Spot Magazine, says "...Steve Liddell's vocals travel light and passionately over vibrant, groove-oriented landscape that evokes comparisons to Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, and Lenny Kravitz.

Gleason goes on to say "This artist's new 11-track studio offering, "Goodlove," finds the soulful singer bolstering elements of his energetic solo acoustic show with his full band. Among the disc's highlights are the spicy flamenco stylings on "The Ballad of Carl and Julie," Latin-flavored, Santana-like riffs on " Yes,Yes,Yes(Rock You Girl)," and soft Wurlitzer on the intimate ballad "Plant Me Underground."

Liddell is a staple on the Tulsa Metro and regional college town markets. Sales from his highly anticipated and well received full band effort cd "Goodlove" have helped get his music and message out to the world. He will be starting an East Coast tour in April and then on to Europe.

Whether he is rocking the solo gig or backed by his talented band Steve Liddell's music is inviting and engaging and is sure to have everyone moving to it's infectious grooves.
