31st July 2012: New album page for Jim Hart’s ‘Cloudmakers Trio’ featuring Ralph Alessi !!

We’re very excited to report that we’ve built the album page for Jim Hart’s debut WWR Release ‘Cloudmakers Trio’ featuring Ralph Alessi. Now you can read about the album, as well as hear previews of each of the tracks.  This is Jim’s fourth album as a leader and we’re anticipating this release to make a big splash on the international scene.  Hart is one of Europe’s most in demand vibraphonists and has been heralded by press in Europe and the USA as a major force on the instrument as well as a composer of immense talent. Jim‘s debut WWR release features his new project ‘The Cloudmakers Trio‘ which is made up of WWR’s own Michael Janisch on double bass and David Smith on Drums.  The trio has performed for nearly 7 years together in various projects, collaborating with artists like alto saxophonist Logan Richardson, and embarked on their debut tour last year with special guest Ralph Alessi, one of the world’s most celebrated trumpeter and composers.  Luckily, the music was recorded at the famed Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho London, and five epic tracks from the live performance appear on the album.  The album launches officially on Sept 10 2012, and the group will be announcing some tour dates very soon.  For now, enjoy the preview tracks and we’ll have more information soon on this special release…
