    JMOOD RECORDS..."A SOUND CHOICE "NEW" CD RELEASE

    Kansas City, Missouri, September 22, 2019. JMood Records is pleased to announce the CD release of “SunStone” by The Roberto Magris Sextet.”

     “Over a thousand years ago, jazz impresario Paul Collins states, “very talented sailors were able to navigate oceans and seas without the use of magnetic compasses and at the times even maps!

    Since then, scientists have discovered in sunken ships of long ago, what appears to be a magical crystal or Iceland spar, better known as sunstone.

    Despite heavy clouds, fog, other obstacles or devices used around the Polar Regions, these amazing sailors were able to find their ships position in relationship to the Sun, which, attributed to their amazing navigational success.

    How did these “stones” (Iceland spar) only referred to in poems of ancient times, but, more recently discovered, assist in navigation?

    When sunstone splits light in two polarized rays, what is seen has two levels of brightness (double fraction). When the sunstone is adjusted to where the brightness of both images are equal, then, the sunstone is found to be aligned with the Sun. That ability makes navigation much easier and in many different weather conditions. For example, even when the Sun is behind clouds! What a marvelous natural phenomenon!

    When compared to stones, however, humans are far superior and even more amazing in what they can accomplish with singleness of design.

    With the music of “SunStone”, although two different creative individuals are involved with its design and features from different parts of the Earth, Roberto and I had a single vision; to create another great jazz project. But, this time using a new cast of truly amazing musical “sailors”!

    I implore you to search and discover what we have found together by means of music, musicians and a host of supporting shipmates!

     This is our “SunStone”!”

    JMOOD RECORDS..."A SOUND CHOICE..."NEW" CD RELEASE

    JMood Records is pleased to announce the CD release of “World Gardens” by The Roberto Magris Quartet.”

     “This music remains rooted in the jazz tradition. It uses the modern jazz idioms, but, will move in different directions as we match some African type rhythms with some European melodic concepts and harmonies, Asian sensibilities and classic scales although we stir up some pop and rock references that include present urban experiences to reach a sort of modern jazz melting pot. A beautiful concept and appropriate title,” says jazz impresario Paul Collins, JMood Records. “As we accept one another and cultures from around the world, we will once again see a burst in innovation and creativity!  A beautiful…World Garden!”“We are not monarchs or emperors from the past,” Paul Collins continues, “so, we can tear down those walls physically, mentally and musically to enjoy all that life has to offer.  This is not just pie in the sky! Roberto and I have both experienced walls torn down physically in (Europe) and mentally in (America). ““Afterward, there was a burst in innovation and creativity! Now we have radios, T.V’s, cell phones, computers, cars, trains, planes, spaceships, and this great jazz music, as people endeavor to explore and connect to the wide world within our reach.”

    JMOOD RECORDS..."A SOUND CHOICE..." NEW CD RELEASE

    JMood Records is pleased to announce the release of the CD “Roberto Magris Sextet Live in Miami @ the WDNA Jazz Gallery”.

     “Saturday, February 6, 2016 was a bright sunny beautiful day, but, a more exciting and electric evening in Miami, Florida, one I won’t soon forget”, recalls Paul Collins, jazz impresario from Kansas City, Missouri, “it was my first time in Miami! I remember rushing around and driving frantically from Fort Lauderdale trying to get to Miami just in time for a group rehearsal at WDNA Jazz Gallery of the program material for later that evening. It was at that time I met for the first time the outstanding Grammy Award Winning Trumpeter Brian Lynch, Chuck Bergeron and John Yarling who would make up a large portion of the sextet along with two “young lions”. This was a unit put together by my friend and co-producer Edward Blanco. Upon my return that night was a thrill packed audience waiting to hear the music of international jazz pianist Roberto Magris, from Trieste, Italy accompanied by our new musical family from the Miami area. What occurred that evening was nothing less than spectacular! We had so much good material and such a warm embracing response from our audience toward the performance; it was difficult to narrow the final selection of music to just one lively and enthusiastic audio CD. The audience simply roars with pleasurable shouts and applause. Finally, this beautiful evening of music is available for you to hear, enjoy and celebrate with us.”

    JMOOD RECORDS..."A SOUND CHOICE..." NEW CD RELEASE

    JMood Records is pleased to announce the release of “Prague After Dark”. This is the latest jazz project from Roberto Magris and his European jazz trio.

    In fact, this trio is not so new at all! Roberto Magris, Frantisek Uhlir and Jaromir Helesic have been friends for over 25 years and performed in Prague and around Europe a number of times together since the 1980’s. Only recently have they decided to come back together and continue to create more music together.

    The project is superb! Only a few standards are sprinkled in this project, the rest are original compositions by Magris and Uhlir.

    Prague is a vibrant jazz town.  Both Frantisek and Jaromir are well known in Prague and throughout Europe for being of the best.

    It is only 4,920 miles and just a little over 10 hours from Kansas City, Missouri to Prague, Czech Republic but this unit performs accessible jazz. “I was very excited to have Roberto performing with a great jazz unit in Europe”, says Paul Collins, jazz impresario from Kansas City. The music is fresh and captivating. With every listen I am totally absorbed in the music and only come to my senses when it is finished playing. There are more performances scheduled and other recording plans for this great European jazz unit. Keep your eyes and ears fixed on this great musical team”! 

    Regards, Paul Collins
