CD Release

Art of Life Records is pleased to welcome guitarist Scott Sherwood and pianist Bob Rodriguez to its roster of recording artists. For their debut release on Art of Life Records, Scott and Bob have composed seven original compositions of guitar and piano duets recorded and mixed by Kent Heckman at Red Rock Recording in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania on August 30th and 31st, 2007. All tracks have been professionally mastered using 24-bit digital technology.

Jazz guitarist Scott Sherwood has been praised by critics and peers alike for the effortless fluidity, warmth and expressiveness of his sound. An innately melodic musician, his approach to guitar and composition has a purity and lyricism that is deceptively complex. His playing is rich and subtle, marked by genuine feeling. Sherwood lists responsiveness, empathy and communication as key elements to his musical collaborations as is evident in his new Art of Life Records release with pianist Bob Rodriguez entitled, "Ripples".

Critically acclaimed pianist Bob Rodriguez is one of the most distinctively imaginative musicians in contemporary Jazz today. Possessing a refined virtuoso technique, extraordinary harmonic sensibility and an incomparable approach to his instrument that melds aspects of European classical and Latin music with modern Jazz, Rodriguez's performances and recordings of his own compositions and interpretations of standard material have distinguished him as a truly original pianist with his own tale to tell.

The Scott Sherwood Trio's two previous releases, "Siren Song" and "Peaks and Valleys", as well as Bob Rodriguez's three previous releases, "Corridor", "Mist" and "Reinventions", are all available as MP3 Digital Downloads from Art of Life Records web site located at www.ArtOfLifeRecords.com. For more information on Scott Sherwood and Bob Rodriguez please visit their web sites at www.ScottSherwood.com and www.BobRodriguez.com.

If you love our CSA veggies, but sometimes feel like having someone else do the preparation, you can eat Stoneledge produce at a new restaurant in the Carnegie Hill neighborhood. Sfoglia, an offshoot of the Nantucket restaurant of the same name, opened at the north-west corner of E. 92nd Street and Lexington Ave. (across from the 92nd St. Y). The restaurant believes in buying organic and free-range products from local suppliers, and Chef Molly Smith arranged with Stoneledge to supply them each week. It’s great to have another restaurant in the area that subscribes to our CSA “buy local-eat seasonal” philosophy. We have to say we only wish we could prepare food as delicious as Sfoglia does, and with as much consistency. Check out their web site at www.sfogliarestaurant.com, and click on the New York City link. But reading their menu choices and actually eating them is like reading about a wonderful piece of art, and then getting to see it. They’re that good. And until they get their license to sell wines, it’s B.Y.O.B., so now is a good time to check them out. Menu items change every few weeks. If you go, the manager, Chris, said to let them know you’re a CSA member. Telephone 212-831-1402. Visit http://www.sfogliarestaurant.com/.
