There's a brand new CD out featuring Don Braden on saxophone and flute, Mark Rapp on trumpet, GRAMMY nominated Gerald Clayton on piano, Sachal Vasandani on vocals, Rene Hart on bass and Greg Gonzalez on drums. The record is the brainchild of celebrated producer Billy Terrell and is comprised of modern, contemporary arrangements from the Billy Strayhorn songbook. The band is built upon the artist roster of Gail Boyd, entertainment lawyer turned manager and mainstay in the world of jazz for over 30 years. Being acutely aware of consumer tendencies in our modern age, The Strayhorn Project was released digitally  on iTunes, Amazon.com and the label's site premiummusicsolutions.com first with a physical offering coming in January 2010.

George W. Carrol of The Musician's Ombudsman is one of the first to review this new record saying "This CD project is a true successful experiment in the art of re-composing the composition. The harmonic and rhythmic deception in both 'Satin Doll' and 'Chelsea Bridge' is in a word fortuitous and striking... The Strayhorn Project comes to fruition very deliberately and impressively with exciting digressions into the world of harmony and melody. I must address as well the musical dialogue between these fine players creating an overall tonal scheme of both subtlety and imagination." 

On December 14th, the group will have their debut appearance in celebration of the digital release at the famed Blues Alley Jazz Club in Washington, D.C. For details, tickets, music, pictures and to learn more about Braden-Rapp: The Strayhorn Project, please visit: www.bradenrapp.com

Hey All,

I HUGE thank you for everyone who was able to attend our performance at the Jazz standard on July 5th! It was an awesome evening all around. Below is a message from Project Sunshine, the charity for whom we raised money that night. We did a GREAT job! To raise over $200 at a jazz gig on a Sunday night on a 4th of July weekend is TREMENDOUS! Thank YOU!

A MESSAGE FROM PROJECT SUNSHINE
Project Sunshine thanks all of Mark Rapp's fans and supporters for helping raise $207 at his July 5th concert in support of our free programs for children facing medical challenges and their families. Every donation counts, especially during these challenging economic times, and this money will allow Project Sunshine to deliver therapeutic arts and crafts programming to 33 children in need. If you would like to contribute to Project Sunshine and help reach Mark's goal of raising $1,350 towards these impactful and in-demand programs, allowing us to reach 216 children, please visit:

A donation of just $10 or $20 will help us reach our goal! Please encourage your friends to donate too and please note on the donation page that your donation is from a Fan of Mark Rapp. Thank you!
