2nd January 2014: WWR boss Michael Janisch ‘Purpose Built’ Quintet to make appearance in Midwest ft. Patrick Cornelius, Philip Dizack, Matthew Stevens and Clarence Penn this Jan, 2014

WWR label boss and internationally-acclaimed bassist and producer Michael Janisch will be performing a series of special concerts in Midwest America in late January this year with a stellar cast of musicians from NYC in Patrick Cornelius, Philip Dizack, Matthew Stevens and Clarence Penn.  On the 23rd, we’ll be helping the promotion efforts by doing a Whirlwind Showcase Event for Janisch’s performance in St. Paul where he’ll be performing at Studio Z (check the poster below) and anyone who pre-books tickets will be sent a Free 22-track album sampler which showcases a big swath of our catalog! Just email us your confirmation of purchase to info@whirlwindrecordings.com and we’ll send you a link to your download. If that’s not enough, Janisch will be conducting a free workshop before the show to the public.
Then on the 24/25 of January, Janisch will be featured as the special guest artist in residence at the 2014 annual La Crosse University Jazz Festival, where he and his band will take part in workshops and performances over the weekend. Janisch will be doing some other workshops as well in the area.  Check www.michaeljanisch.com for more information on that.

Michael will be performing a mix of music from his two latest albums Purpose Built and Banned in London, the latter of which was just named one of the “Best albums of 2013” by Downbeat Magazine.  Look out for some new tunes as well.  See you at the shows, and a happy new year from all of us at WWR.
