Release of Gold Sounds Album, Cover Design by Michael Anderson

Imagine what it would have been like to go to a record store the day John Coltrane released "My Favorite Things" or The Allman Brothers released "Live at the Fillmore". Aside from the fact that great musicianship and song selection no longer seem to count in the music business, you can feel the same thing by buying "God Sounds," an album of Pavement songs recorded by an ad-hoc all-star jazz quartet featuring Downbeat Magazine saxophonist of the year James Carter, Cyrus Chestnut, recently called a legend by New York magazine, on keyboards, Reginald Veal, fat-bottom bassman of choice for discerning artist like Wynton Marsalis and Cassandra Wilson, and white hot drummer Ali Jackson, who has also worked with Marsalis and was recently compared to Art Blakey. Best of all, Gold Sounds was built to last, with a distinct and compelling narrative flow which will sustain your intersted and admiration over 45 minutes or so. So if you are ready to buy an album which is solely substantive, get Gold. Gold Sounds.
