Matt Stevens is a looper of sounds. Acoustic and sampled sounds. He’s a layerer. Musical lasagna. I’ve witnessed it on You Tube. All puns aside, the music that comes from Matt Stevens’ guitar is amazing in the simple realization that it is one man playing all of this as it happens. We’re going to be talk to this innovative guitarist and composer about the art of looping as well as the art of using the social networks to get the word out about the music he composes. Please leave a comment and then check out his video on looping:

Got Bass? Got Voice? We’re going to lay a little jazz on you for a change, but it’s jazz with a twist. Jon Burr and Lynn Stein of Jon & Lynn are a jazz/pop duo from the NYC area that combine the distinctive sound of the upright bass and voice into a mesmerizing combo that makes you think that there’s a big band playing instead of just the two. John’s virtuosic playing encompasses melodic and rhythmic aspects that makes his upright sound like a complete rhythm section all the while complimenting Lynn’s spot-on-sexy vocals. Minimalist in nature, but not lacking for complexity, Jon and Lynn make the most out of what they have: bass and voice.
