10.08.06 Show Press Release

Guster - One of the unlikely success stories of the '90s, Boston-based Guster broke the corporate mold by developing a strong fan base, an innovative use of the Internet and selling more than 40,000 copies of its first two independent releases. With novel instrumentation (two acoustic guitars and bongos) and a sense of humor to match, the band signed to Sire and released a pair of records in the late-'90s. In 2004, Guster released "Ganging Up On the Sun" which featured the addition of a fourth member.

Larry Coryell - In the '60s, Larry Coryell all but pioneered the transformation of jazz electric guitar and laid the groundwork for a generation of disciples. A veteran of bands fronted by Chico Hamilton, Gary Burton and Herbie Mann, Coryell fused his jazz technique with a loud, string-bending style that was near psychedelic. Coryell has explored nearly every style imaginable on both acoustic and electric and recorded with virtually every guitar great going, including John Scofield, Joe Beck, Steve Khan, Larry Carlton and John McLaughlin as well as violinist Stephane Grappelli, bassist Charles Mingus and saxophonist Sonny Rollins. In 2005, he released "Electric," a collection of jazz standards and rock anthems featuring drummer Lenny White and bassist Victor Bailey while this year, he issued "Laid Back & Blues: Live at the Sky Church in Seattle."

The Slip - This melodic New England trio has been generating a national buzz, especially after My Morning Jacket's Jim James raved about the band - "Seeing them live was amazing..." - in a recent "New York Times" article. The songs are soaring, artfully arranged anthems that combine the conciseness of Beatlesque pop with a stunning range of sonic textures.

Miho Hatori - Japanese singer Miho Hatori became an unlikely "star" as half of the international pop duo Cibo Matto. On her solo debut "Ecdysis," she has "assembled" a song cycle puts her voice among a pastiche of sounds, samples and effects. Singing in a variety of languages, she mixes and matches loops and random beats with Brazilian rhythms and tight harmonies in a way that would make David Byrne proud.

Hazmat Modine - Delivering a delirious blend of blues, reggae, Klezmer, country and Gypsy-tinged music, Hazmat Modine has emerged as one of New York's most original bands. The group features the dueling harmonicas; tuba; guitarists Bob Jay, Jon Sholle, and Dan Hovey; and drummer Scott Veenstra. The instrumentation variously includes the sheng (the ancient Chinese mouthorgan), the unique and odd claviola, and sometimes the cimbalom (the Romanian hammered dulcimer).
