Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 01:52PM "Sellick asks one of the group to invent a two bar phrase - it could be a drum-like pulse or a fragment of a melody, repeating it again and again. The next person in the circle comes up with something to compliment it and so on until the original motif amplifies into a fully arranged statement. As each part is introduced, Sellick listens, leaning toward the person, giving advice when needed pulling the air toward her as if to encourage the idea to awaken, and then nodding her satisfaction as another link hooks into the vocal chain" Bob Doershuk

"Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" (on Sons of Sound) is an album of James Bond movie theme songs set to jazz. It's organ-based and the arrangements masterfully written by Larry Dunlap mellow out the songs and add true jazz listener appeal . Annie is excited to be joining Akria Live at the Douglas Beach house in Half Moon Bay, CA on August 28th.
Saturday, June 4, 2011 at 10:17PM I will be teaching a six week course at the Nashville Jazz Workshop that begins June 13th. It is monday nights from 8 - 10. We will work through your songs with Lori Meachem accompanying on piano discussing crafting the style and basic treatment/arrangement of the song, pulling the message of the song, being authentic in delivery and overall perfecting the performance of the song.
