A letter from Garrett Baker

Hi Claudio,

A lot of music coming out soon and with even more variety. Each project is linked to their press kit with music and info, alongside date of release or concert. Let me know if you see or hear anything you like!

Adrian Raso & Fanfare Ciocarlia - Balkan Brass Meets Gypsy Jazz Guitar; Adrian Raso Teams Up With Fanfare Ciocarlia - 02/11/2014 - Release 
Legend has it that the Devil likes to frequent crossroads, cutting deals for souls and spinning his cunning yarns. Yet not all crossroad pacts are diabolical; some are just damned brilliant, including the kings of Balkan brass Fanfare Ciocarlia teaming up with Gypsy jazz guitarist Adrian Raso on their new release 'Devil's Tale'

Nistha Raj - India Without Borders: Nistha Raj Takes Exit 1 - 02/26/2014 - Release 
The violin begins to play a raga. At the pause, just when the tabla should enter, a beatboxer begins a rhythm and worlds collide. The music takes on fresh colors and barriers crumble. This is the sound of Nistha Raj and what she’s created on her inventive solo debut album, Exit 1( releasing February 26th, 2014).

Hannah Gill - Hannah Gill Takes The Giant Leap - 03/04/2014 - Release 
Stunning new voices. The type that make you stop, that force you to listen, then listen again. They can come from anywhere and everywhere. Young or old, that natural quality is a rare and wonderful thing. And sometimes they’ve just been hiding in plain sight, like Hannah Gill, whose debut EP launches on March 4th 2013

Nistha Raj & Behzad Habibzai in DC March 8th - 03/08/2014 - Washington, DC 
The violin begins to play a raga. At the pause, just when the tabla should enter, a beatboxer begins a rhythm and worlds collide. The music takes on fresh colors and barriers crumble. This is the sound of Nistha Raj and what she’s created on her inventive solo debut album, Exit 1 (concert at Atlas on March 8th).

Pearls From the Indian Ocean: Ahmed Sings the Maldives on Dhaalu Raa - 03/11/2014 - Release 
The Maldives. No more than a tiny scattering of islands tossed down in the Indian Ocean. A place for the vacation of a lifetime, where the waves are warm & the sun warm the bones. But it hasn’t been a hotbed of music. At least, until now. Meet Ahmed, who is set to put the Maldives on the musical map with Dhaalu Raa (March 11th)

Hannah Gill - 16 Year Old Singer-Songwriter CD Release at Metropolitan Room March 13th - 03/13/2014 - New York, NY 
Stunning new voices. The type that make you stop, that force you to listen, then listen again. They can come from anywhere and everywhere. Young or old, that natural quality is a rare and wonderful thing. And sometimes they’ve just been hiding in plain sight, like Hannah Gill, who will be at the Metropolitan Room on March 13th

Kevin Connor Swingtet - Swinging Down to Cuba: The Kevin Connor Swingtet Hits the Mark - 03/18/2014 - Release 
From Gypsy Jazz to Cuban Son, it’s music to set the feet tapping and couples twirling round the floor. It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing. As true today as it was in 1931. Words to live by for the Kevin Connor Swingtet, led by composer, guitarist and tresero Kevin Connor, with their debut CD, Guitar and Tres

The Glickman Ensemble - The Glickman Quartet's Art of the Bassoon: Celebrating Loren Glickman at 90 in NYC 3/23 - 03/23/2014 - New York, NY 
The bassoon? It’s not an instrument people think of often, almost the stepchild of the orchestra. But it gives a beautiful sound, with a range like the human voice, the cello of the wind section, expressive and emotional. The Glickman Ensemble takes the idea of the bassoon and multiplies it by four

Jaro Milko & The Cubalkanics - Cumbia, Cuba, The Balkans & Exploding Cigars; Introducing Jaro Milko & The Cubalkanics, Cigarros Explosivos! - 04/04/2014 - Release 
There’s a point where the rhythm of the cumbia, the sound of Cuba and Balkan music all come together & it’s right in the heart of Jaro Milko and the Cubalkanics. Milko’s creation, where surf guitar, Cuban son and powerful Gypsy brass dance side by side fusing a unique, delicious whole on their debut Cigarros Explosivos!
