 "The highlight September performance in Paris was tenor saxophonist Ray Blue. This former member of Sun Ra's Arkestra and student of Ornette Coleman set the Caveau des Oubliettes on fire...His music was fresh and captured the mind without straying away too long from the strongest groove." Downbeat Magazine
Ray's newest CD, "Berries and Blues" serves you the fruits of his music-a story is told by merging jazz, blues and African folk rhythms. The players chosen for this project are brilliant musicians who came together on the gig in Paris, with a chemistry and sound that was nothing less than exceptional.
Ray has preformed with Steve Turre, Eddie Henderson, Gary Bartz, T.K. Blue, Bob Gaddy, Wycliff Gordon and Benny Powell. He plays with The Spirit of Life Ensemble and tours with The Ray Charles Show.
The Ray Blue Sound is at once big and warm, dynamic and romantic, nostalgic and modern. It's "Blue Jazz".

with the one and only, Mishti
Pop/Soft Rock, Rock (classic), and Blues | 12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY See Map |
 People who know Mishti are in awe of her talent. To those who've never seen her perform, take our advice: You should.
Mishti's music has been described as "coasting between a bottom-heavy Zeppelin Rock, Blues-infused grooves, Thelonius Monk-inspired guitar work, and a Nina Simone-style wail-to-whisper." Always looking to cultivate a connection with her audience, she strives to create an experience that grabs listeners both emotionally, and "by the balls". Mishti's band features the amazingly talented Mani Cregan (guitar), Anthony Candullo (drums/bass), Chris Burke (keys), and vocalist Danielle Brown.
Tonight, Mishti will be celebrating the debut of her soon-to-be-released EP called "Fortunes in Footsteps". It's a collection of original works that came "after a period of a paralyzing songwriting-phobia, an inevitable episode of incurable heartbreak" and finally, "wine-induced clarity." We like that.
