Her lyrics evoke the wit and sophistication of a bygone era. Her storytelling is both clever and disarmingly down to earth, whether she’s writing about overcoming shyness (“I Feel Foolish”), longing for love (“My Cardiologist”), or chronicling the back and forth of friendship (“The Feeling is Mutual”). Her singing is world-class, period. From her ballad work (“Start Again,” “I Miss Missing You”), to her scat improvisation (“Cover Up,” “It’s Pronounced George”), and everything in between, Gyorgy is endlessly listenable. Add on the fact that she’s also arranging and producing, and you start to run out of accolades trying to capture everything the 24 year-old does on Featuring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Caity Gyorgy","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":49939957514517,"sku":"749154","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0878\/7355\/2661\/files\/1867bea3bde4fa74e12f2c6b63f5ade8.png?v=1780001618"},{"product_id":"morton-block-matt-block-strange-harbors-12","title":"Morton Block, Matt Block \"Strange Harbors\" 12\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLimited 12\" pressing of Morton Block and Matt Block's debut LP, Strange Harbors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrange Harbors is a remarkable piece of storytelling, both intimate and epic, with a cinematic, orchestral jazz sound plucked out of another era.

A must-listen for lovers of jazz vocals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on October 15, 2025, Hey Love! brings together an all-world band featuring Grant Stewart on tenor saxophone, Bruce Harris on trumpet, Tardo Hammer on piano, Peter Washington on bass, and Kenny Washington on drums, with pianist and vocalist Johnny O'Neal appearing on \"Blow Top Blues\" and \"Dedicated to You.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It's reflective of how my home has changed since having a baby,\" says Yeghiazaryan. \"It's full of joy and silliness and laughter, and I think the record is a summation of all of that - a little bit of the humor that you need to survive real love, a little bit of the seriousness, a little bit of the chaos and the kind of psychotic elements, too, with something like a Blow Top Blues. So I think it's a portrait of my home today.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHey Love! is Yeghiazaryan's first straight-ahead album in years, despite the fact she is one of the best straight-ahead singers in the world. Over the past half-decade, she has released a series of critically acclaimed projects that showcased her vocals with string arrangements and in duo with piano. Her most recent album, Beside the Golden Door, paired jazz standards with classics from Armenia, where she was born and spent the first decade-plus of her life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcross ten tracks co-arranged with Grant Stewart, Yeghiazaryan moves through material by Duke Ellington, Cy Coleman, Richard Rodgers, and others. The album opens on \"Next Spring,\" a tune she describes as a challenge to sing while making it seem very simple and easy. On \"Witchcraft,\" she adds a rarely performed verse learned from Ella Fitzgerald and wrote a new ending for the arrangement. \"I really like the sound we got with the horns,\" she says, \"because it's sort of reminiscent of Abbey Lincoln's earlier stuff with Riverside Jazz Stars.\" \"Blow Top Blues,\" a tune she learned from Etta Jones, took on new meaning after becoming a mother: \"After having a baby, I finally said, 'Now I can sing this blues.'\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHey Love! delivers the swinging and storytelling that live audiences know and love, making it an automatic must-listen for fans of Yeghiazaryan all over the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucy Yeghiazaryan","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":50079553061141,"sku":"788188","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0878\/7355\/2661\/files\/99b559fe8a59c36f7fd372871ebda93a.png?v=1786386611"},{"product_id":"candice-hoyes-expecting-neon-magenta-lp","title":"Candice Hoyes \"Expecting\" Neon Magenta 12\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003ePressed on neon magenta vinyl in a gatefold jacket with spot gloss print.

He’s appeared on a hundred records, and he’s an important mentor to the next generation of up and coming guitarists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgainst the backdrop of his extensive discography, Felder’s latest album III offers a unique listening experience: the chance to hear his own sound come to the fore. His music. His songwriting vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This is an opportunity to hear what’s going on in my brain when I’m just playing for myself,” shares Felder. “It’s not just a guitar record, this is a songwriting record.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIII drives home Felder’s ability to conjure up moods as a writer, to craft a unified listening journey out of his expansive musical palette. From the riff-powered surge of “Cold Heaven,” to the graceful close of “Era’s End,” to the adrenaline-spiking drum breakdown on “Dream,” we get to hear the many sides of what he can do as a composer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“More and more, I’m reinvesting in the things that drew me to music in the first place,” he says, “the things that lit up the receptors in my brain and made me stare wide eyed into the mystery of it all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“For me, my own music brings me back to that place — the joy, the fun, the experimentation, the playfulness.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFellow guitarists will still drool over his brilliance on the instrument, which is constantly on display in ways large and small. Felder is a master of texture, of using the guitar not as one voice but many (“Sea of Miracles,” “Revival”). And yes, he can rock the hell out, especially on the aforementioned “Cold Heaven.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePut it all together, and III is the centerstage performance we crave from Felder after following the many stops along his artistic path. He’ll no doubt be off to two (or three) more projects soon, but we plan to stay awhile and enjoy the view.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nir Felder","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":50205304750357,"sku":"751782","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0878\/7355\/2661\/files\/cbe4d7f0e8c2b919e8100ef59d4b7310.png?v=1790367996"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.lareserverecords.com\/collections\/music.oembed","provider":"La Reserve Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
