| Vinnie James |
Educated on the streets of Newark,
and Atlantic City, New Jersey, and
with a style influenced by folk poets
of the late sixties and early
seventies, Vinnie James is part
Native American, part African, and
100% heart, or, as Mike Boehm of
the L.A. Times puts it: "Full of fire
and in your face passion." And
you'd never guess from his humble
attitude, that this ex-homeless man
continues to be hailed by music
journalists as one of today's most
insightful and relevant urban song
poets, having gained widespread
critical acclaim for his ground-
breaking RCA debut, "All American
Boy," and major shows and tours
with artists such as, Sade, Carole
King, Bonnie Raitt, Tina Turner, Pam
Tillis, and many others.

enthusiasts, given that it showcases
some popular jazz songs Pascale
grew up listening to. It's clear from
the outset that Pascale Frossard is
enjoying the opportunity to revisit
such past favorites and there's a warmth and glow to many of
the tracks that's difficult to resist - especially in the best known
material. This is a celebration of the jazz form that's equally
capable of appealing to long-term fans of the genre as it is to
newcomers. Hence, timeless tracks by Hoagy Carmichael, Burt
Bacharach, and A. J. Ellis are delivered with such verve and
panache that you'll probably find your head nodding along in
appreciation in spite of yourself.

patio at Tobacco Road amongst the
laughter, drinks and FREE chicken wings,
he sets up a chair, a microphone,
plugs in his guitar and clips one of his 15 harmonicas around his
neck. As he picks out the first few bars and starts to sing,
something begins to happen, discussions of work place gossip, turns
into head swaying and foot patting. Poppa E. has arrived on the
scene and gives the crowd something most of them have never
witnessed live... down home blues.
This quiet, unassuming man simply known as Poppa E. has been
bringing us all back to our soulful roots. Responding to a MySpace
email blast from DJ Oski looking for an original copy of the "Tobacco
Road" theme song for their upcoming 96th birthday celebration,
Poppa E. quickly seized the opportunity and responded. "I didn't
really have the track," said Poppa E. "But I knew the song, so I ran
into my studio laid down the track complete with vocals, and added
a Happy Birthday twist." It worked beautifully, after meeting with
the owners of Tobacco Road, they quickly signed him to a long term
performance contract.
A native New Yorker, Poppa E started out playing Jazz with the likes
of legends like Ornette Coleman. His long winding career has taken
him around the world and back again to his roots, the blues. With
the release of his new CD "Crossroads," Poppa E is gearing up for
another tour through Europe and the South Pacific. In late August,
Poppa E will be appearing live on Ed Bell's NPR radio show.

in a later generation, Joni Mitchell.
She was born Eleanora Harris in Philadelphia to teenage parents. Her
mother, Sadie Harris, raised her in Baltimore while working as a
domestic servant. Her father, Clarence Holiday, was a professional
musician who visited her on occasion but wasn’t around much while
she was growing up. She was a problem child with constant truancy
problems, and at the age of nine she was sent to a Catholic home for
wayward girls for several months.
When she was in her middle teens she moved to New York. She
changed her name to Billie Holiday in the late 1920s when she was
working one of her first club jobs. Louis Armstrong was an inevitable
early influence, as was Bessie Smith, but by the time she first
recorded she sounded like no one else.
