Jon Regen

DISPONIBILITAì: 15-25 APRILE e ESTATE 2012

Accanto a una brillante carriera nel jazz sia come sideman (Jimmy Scott, Kyle Eastwood), che come leader Jon Regen spicca come magnifico esecutore live per la sua voce infallibile e particolare.

Jon Regen Trio – Live at The Blue Note, il cd di debutto di Jon, viene accolto con critiche entusiastiche nel 2000; a questo segue il suo secondo lavoro, Tel Aviv, salutato con successo nel 2001. Nel 2004 è la volta di Almost Home, un album di composizioni originali che evidenzia il suo talento di cantante e cantautore, precedentemente meno valorizzato. Unanimi anche questa volta le critiche positive, ALL MUSIC GUIDE gli attribuisce 4 stelle e The Danube Courier lo definisce ‘the Miracle Child from New York.

Con l’uscita nel 2008 di Let It Go, capolavoro di pop dalle influenze jazz che instancabilmente combina la potenza pianistica di Jon alla sua voce infallibile di cantante e cantautore, Jon Regen dimostra perchè è stato definito “il ragazzo miracolo da New York”.

il 2011 è l'anno di REVOLUTION, nuovo ottimo disco con grandi ospiti quali ANDY SUMMERS (Police) Benmont Tench, David McAlmont, Rob Thomas, Dana Fuchs, Matt Rollings e molti altri...

DICONO DI LUI

Regen’s exceptional new album Revolution features guests a-plenty like Benmont Tench from Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, Andy Summers of The Police and Rutle Ricky Fataar, not to mention a co-write with Grammy winner Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20.

On his suave and soulful new album, Revolution, you can still hear some of his jazz background, but mostly what you hear is someone who has developed into a supremely accomplished pop artist. Think Harry Connick Jr., or maybe Billy Joel without the bombast. Regen may not be as well-known as some of his accompanists - Andy Summers, Benmont Tench - but this album shows he deserves to be.

Revolution is often strongly reminiscent of Steve Winwood, Randy Newman and Bruce Hornsby’s undersung post-Range sets (“Harbor Lights,” “Hot House”). Regen won’t show off the way Hornsby does, but when he squeezes a solo into his compositions, it’s always thoughtful and inventive enough to broadcast his training. He’s gathered a stellar cast of accompanists, but the spotlight is on Regen, and the genial pianist makes the most of it. An adult-pop winner.
NJ STAR-LEDGER/NJ.COM – 9/9/11

“One Part Broken, Two Parts Blue,” and “Spirits of the Soul” reflect the sensitive side of Regen’s creativity, and are the kind of songs that are destined to become pop standards.
SOUNDS OF TIMELESS JAZZ – 9/3/11

On Revolution, Regen builds on his strengths, recording 10 original songs that expertly straddle the fence between jazz and pop. “She's Not You (But Tonight She'll Have to Do),” is easily one of the catchiest pop songs I've heard in a while. Add in appearances by such music luminaries as Andy Summers and Benmont Tench, and you have a seriously solid release.

Revolution effortlessly straddles the lines of commercial viability, legit authenticity, and indie. By the end of 2011, we will be claiming joint custody of the musician, if not declaring him one of our own outright.
