" . . . it is the sound of one of today’s more adventurous trombonist supported by a stellar rhythm section that resonates . . ." - Abe Goldstien, Papatamus Redux

🎧 "Black Dog" - Led Zeppelin
Arranged by Ed Neumeister
“In the often captivating mix of idiosyncrasy and elegance of this intriguing set, the American trombonist, composer and educator Ed Neumeister seems to be implying, at 69, that he still dreams of a life outside of the admiring trap of 'musicians' musician' . . . Jazz from a rather specialised side-alley perhaps, but it's strikingly personal, and unexpectedly edgy at times.”– John Fordham, JazzWise Magazine

Come and join us. I'll be on at 1:30 Pacific, 4:30pm Eastern. Tuesday October 1st.
The Oct. 1st, 2024 Tuesday Lunch With Abe radio series welcomes four guests showcasing new albums … just in time for National CD Player Day!
At 12:30pm PST | 1:30pm MST | 2:30pm CST | 3:30pm EST Montreal guitarist/composer Greg Amirault brings his fourth album as leader, “A Change Of Pace." The Greg Amirault Trio also features bassist Adrian Vedady and drummer André White; a trio at the apex of their powers performing six originals and three classic standards.
Hudson River Valley bassist, composer, arranger Ed Neumeister, having lead a prolific career working with Jerry Garcia, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Frank Sinatra, Lionel Hampton and countless others returns at 1:30pm PST | 2:30pm MST | 3:30pm CST | 4:30pm EST with the Ed Neumeister Quartet +3's MeistroMusic Records CD “Covers," unique jazz arrangements of Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Taylor Swift, and more affording said melodies an all new sound; plus a Neumeister original thrown in for good measure.

Her band Quartetinho's Anzic Records CD “Bloom" was mentioned by DownBeat Magazine as expressing a diversity of ensemble textures; intimate, quietly beautiful chamber music sparkling with originality.
At 3:30pm PST | 4:30pm MST | 5:30pm CST | 6:30pm EST Chicago trumpeter/composer/educator Chad McCullough returns with a quintet on his new Calligram Records release straddling a line between free and modern jazz on “in these hills, beyond," a tribute to the passing of his grandfather, the importance of being surrounded by friends and family to grieve and celebrate life interpreted through musical wistfulness and introspection via a variety of colors and moods.
Plus, a slew of other new recordings and obscure gems from the past, a run down of new and classic films playing on Central Coast screens, and laugh-out-loud tomfoolery during the Oct. 1st Tuesday Lunch with Abe, introducing music you didn't know you wanted to hear, 12-6pm PST | 1-7pm MST | 2-8pm CST | 3-9pm EST on listener-supported 97.3/107.9 The Rock; streaming live and later on demand at www.TheRockCommunityRadio.org.

Covers
by Ed Neumeister
Some more info on the release: On Covers, Neumeister has his way with familiar tunes that resonated from his youth — five by the Beatles, two by Led Zeppelin, one made famous by Otis Redding and another just hatched only a few years ago by Taylor Swift.
Joined by his regular quartet of pianist Gary Versace, bassist Drew Gress and drummer Tom Rainey (who all appeared on 2021’s What Have I Done? and 2023’s Explorations), Neumeister put his stamp on these beloved tunes from the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, and he encourages the others, particularly Versace, to bring their own personal expression to the proceedings. “Gary and I talk about what he should play on these tunes, but I trust him implicitly,” said the leader. “He always plays exactly what’s needed without overplaying. He’s been in my quartet for years now so we have a great connection. We seem to know what each other will play before playing it.”
