| THE MANCINI PROJECT |
| |
| Henry Mancini’s love of jazz was apparent by the approach he took when composing for film and TV. He moved away from the heavy symphonic treatments that had been used by composers for a time by employing jazz motifs and using smaller ensembles. He was also known for his use of unorthodox instrumentation and his "cool jazz" sound. This project is a departure from Ted's usual approach to conceiving a record. Being a composer, his recordings often feature his own material. THE MANCINI PROJECT celebrates the diversity of this great composer. |

| KATE MCGARRY |
| If Less Is More...Nothing Is Everything |
| |
| If Less Is More…Nothing Is Everything finds Kate in a joyful, albeit introspective mood, covering everything from Jobim to The Cars, with a few originals (including a tender e.e. cummings poem set to music) rounding out the project. “My experiences in life, my love of music and my spiritual pursuits are all converging, and the boundaries are fading away. Everything is coming together, and I am feeling very free.” |

| ROBERT WALTER |
| CURE ALL |
| |
| Robert wrote the tunes for Cure All with a couple of players in mind - drummer Johnny Vidacovich and bassist James Singleton. Johnny is an elder statesman in New Orleans. He's taught many of the local drummers and has been a fixture of the music scene there all his life. James Singleton has an intimate and extensive affiliation with the New Orleans music scene and a member of Astral Project, a fixture there since 1978. |
