When you listen to a Bill O'Connell recording you may not know what is on the menu, but you're guaranteed it'll be a gourmet delight. Mr. O'Connell's Imagine serves up a 9-course feast of fascinating sounds that will please even the most discerning ears. As in O'Connell's previous recording (Zocálo Savant SCD 2129), the gifted veterans and leaders in their own right, Conrad Herwig on trombone and saxophonist Steve Slagle add their prowess to the mix. On the bass is the amazingly talented young man, one of NYC's first call bassists, Luques Curtis who was also part of Bill's prior CD, as was percussionist Richie Flores, who has been playing with O'Connell for more than a decade. The newcomer to the group is drummer Richie Barshay who has an impressive résumé that includes a stint with Herbie Hancock. O’Connell gives his arranging chops a real workout with interesting takes on “Willow Weep for Me” and John Lennon’s “Imagine,” and penned some new originals specifically for this recording from a powerful voice in Latin Jazz. |

MY DANCE is a collection of Judi Silvano’s original songs, each with a story of its own. Conceived from Judi’s experiences of life and love, some tunes have lyrics while others leave the story to the listener’s imagination. These are collaborative
arrangements between two creative improvisers at the top of their game.
Judi Silvano has toured and recorded with artists including Kenny Werner, Joe Lovano, Charlie Haden, Jack DeJohnette, Steve Swallow, Tim Hagans, Bill Frisell, Paul Motian, Mal Waldron, Larry Goldings, Vic Juris, Victor Lewis, Rufus Reid, Dick Oatts, Ingrid Jensen, Janice Friedman, Allison Miller, George Garzone, Michael Formanek, Gerry Hemingway and Newman Taylor Baker. She has penned over 40 songs and chamber music compositions which reflect her broad imagination. Ms. Silvano sings from the heart! Her lucid virtuosity and increasingly mature lyric interpretation engages the listener in any setting from duo to large ensemble. She has sung in ensembles conducted by Gunther Schuller, Robert Shaw, Manny Albam, Byron Olson and Justin DiCioccio among others and Lori Dobbins composed “Sketches For Silvano” for her. Silvano also plays flute/alto flute and paints in Oil, Watercolor, Pastel
and Encaustic paints. This is her 11th recording as a leader.
Michael Abene’s bio reads like the history of 20th century American music while he continues bringing his enormous contributions into the 21st century as Arranger, Conductor and Pianist. His youthful post for the Maynard Ferguson Jazz Orchestra at the age of 18 as Pianist and Arranger catapulted him into the world of large ensembles where he continues to excel to this day. Michael has worked with such artists as: Liza Minnelli, Patti Austin, Randy Brecker, Maceo Parker, Eddie Daniels, Tom Harrell, Paquito D’Rivera,
Dianne Reeves, Kurt Elling, Judi Silvano, Fay Claasson, New York Voices and Joe Lovano, with whom he collaborated on the Grammy nominated
CD “Symphonica” and released on Blue Note Records.
Mr. Abene has been Musical Director and Arranger of Cologne, Germany’s world-reknown WDR Big Band for the past 10 years, the Associate
Music Director of the BMI Jazz Composers Workshop, Associate Professor of Jazz Composition at Manhattan School of Music in New York City
and is presently Professor of Ensemble Conducting at KUG Jazz Institute in Graz, Austria. Mr. Abene is also an accomplished and swinging pianist
as is evidenced on this recording!

Multi Grammy nominee, 2012 San Francisco Latino Heritage Arts Award winner, SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director, and US Artists Fontanals Fellow John Santos is one of the foremost bandleaders, composers, producers, percussionists, and educators in Jazz and Afro-Latin music. He has published and recorded over 100 original compositions! He has performed and recorded with acknowledged masters like Tito Puente, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Cachao, Eddie Palmieri, Omar Sosa, Larry Coryell, The Buena Vista Social Club, Joe Henderson, Billy Cobham, Regina Carter, Bebo Valdés, Carlos Santana, James Moody, McCoy Tyner, Paquito D'Rivera, and Arturo Sandoval. He teaches at the Jazz School Institute in Berkeley and at the College of San Mateo, and has lectured and taught across the US, Europe, and Latin America since 1973, including at prestigious institutions like Yale, Stanford, UCLA, the Museum of the African Diaspora, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, the Smithsonian Institution, the Adventures in Music program of the San Francisco Symphony and the Berklee School of Music in Boston. He was founder and director of the Grammy-nominated Machete Ensemble (1985-2006), releasing nine critically-acclaimed CDs, mostly on John’s Machete Records label. He currently directs The John Santos Sextet, which garnered a 4.5 star review in Downbeat Magazine. The Sextet unites the contemporary, historical and cultural significance of Latin Jazz. They also shed light on the aesthetic characteristics of Latin Jazz pertaining to instrumentation, rhythm, interpretation and improvisation through live performance and recording. This musical group was organized in 2003. Equally at home with a dance or concert repertoire, they play original compositions and exciting original arrangements of classic rhythms, styles and songs from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and the US. John is featured prominently in the PBS American Masters documentary Cachao: Uno Mas (released in 2010). He received the San Francisco Latino Heritage Award in 2012 and the Man of the Year Award by Brothers on the Rise (Oakland) in 2013. He has been recognized by the California Arts Council, the Zellerbach Family Fund, the Ford Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlitt Foundation, the San Francisco Foundation, the East Bay Community Foundation, the National Association of Latino Arts and Culture, the Creative Work Fund, and the City of San Francisco that issued a mayoral proclamation declaring November 12, 2006 John Santos Day.
Mads Tolling, internationally renowned Danish violinist and composer, is a two-time Grammy Award-Winner. As a former nine year member of both Turtle Island Quartet and bassist Stanley Clarke’s band, Mads has spent most his professional life touring internationally. Since 2007 Mads has lead his own group, Mads Tolling Quartet. “The Playmaker” released in the fall of 2009, features Stanley Clarke and jazz greats Russell Ferrante & Stefon Harris. A brand new MTQ album: “Celebrating Jean-Luc Ponty – Live at Yoshi’s” was released in May, 2012. Mads has been featured on NPR’s Morning Edition, and his recordings have received rave reviews in Downbeat Magazine, Strings Magazine, Washington Post & San Francisco Chronicle. He has performed with Chick Corea, Ramsey Lewis, Kenny Barron & Paquito D’Rivera. He studied under violinist Matt Glaser, and he graduated summa cum laude from Berklee College of Music in Boston in 2003. Besides his activities as a performer, Mads Tolling is an accomplished composer. In addition to his original writing on his two most recent albums, Mads arranged one of his compositions for saxophonist Joe Lovano and string orchestra. In 2014 Mads was commissioned to write a violin concerto for the Oakland East Bay Symphony that will premiere in 2015.
Recognized as a master flute and vibraphone player, who also plays sax, clarinet, oboe, and many Latin hand percussion instruments, Roger Glenn can enthusiastically entertain and inspire an audience with every note he plays. This New York City native got his start listening to his father, Tyree Glenn, play trombone and vibraphone with Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, and Louis Armstrong. By performing with his father, he was able to hone his skills and create his own sound. Aside from being a stellar solo artist with his own group, Roger has performed with such giants of Jazz and Latin music as Dizzy Gillespie, Mongo Santamaria, Herbie Mann, Cal Tjader, Peaches and Herb, Bobby Hutcherson, Mary Lou Williams and Rosemary Clooney.
