SN8 | Ep366 - Moss Jacobs | SVP GoldenVoice + Anaïs Reno

You might think you have just accidentally stumbled into a powerful music execs boardroom today, a fly on the wall to a conversation very few have the opportunity to be privy to…Because in this TJS music execs boardroom today sit LA Personal Development’s Founder Mike Gormley, who has worked with everyone from Rod Stewart, Rush, The Bangles, Prince, and The Police, the young and extremely talented vocalist Anais Reno, and Senior Vice President of GoldenVoice Concert Promotions, the legendary Moss Jacobs.Today our very special guest is Moss Jacobs, and in the next hour we are going to give you a peek behind the curtain of one of the top music promoters in the world. We’ll take you through a day in the life of a concert promoters duties and what happens backstage right up to showtime!But First:ANAÏS RENO - New Album was released on April 16.The album is called “Lovesome Thing: Anaïs Reno Sings Ellington & Strayhorn.”Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn were collaborators for several decades beginning in the late 1930s.Anaïs Reno has chosen to use their compositions as the basis for her debut release Lovesome Thing: Anaïs Reno Sings Ellington & Strayhorn. This choice was not without risk as the harmonic structure and lyrics of some of the compositions are suited to an experienced vocalist. Anais was undeterred and in addition to being fearless in her choice of material, Anais knew what she wanted in terms of a supporting musical cast that would enhance her vocal efforts. Pianist and arranger Emmet Cohen was an ideal selection as he is a stellar and inventive musician. Rounding out the band are Russell Hall (bass), Kyle Poole (drums), Tivon Pennicott (saxophone) and on a couple of tracks violinist Juliet Kurtzman, who also happens to be Anais’s mother.I wanted to read a couple great reviews of “Lovesome Thing: Anaïs Reno Sings Ellington & Strayhorn.”This review is by Contemporary Fusion Reviews by Dick Metcalf “You’ll know you’re in the presence of pure young vocal genius when you hear Anaïs sing Strayhorn’s “Lush Life“… I can honestly say that this is the most emotion-filled performance of this song I have ever heard! Anaïs makes “I’m Just a Lucky So and So” her very own… an absolute “smash hit” for this reviewer!”And in the column review “All About Jazz" by Pierre Giroux, he says of Anais: “The choice was not without risk but the results are more than impressive… Gliding over the lyrics, she shows a gift for flowing delicacy. Anaïs Reno exudes confidence on this debut.”https://www.anaisreno.comhttps://www.goldenvoice.comhttps://sbbowl.comhttps://www.hollywoodbowl.com
