HumBug Records has released “Stealing a Moment," the debut CD from the contemporary jazz band SnapDragon. Ranging in style from the smooth sound of the title song, to the saucy Latin “Pajima Baile," to the introspective “Quietude," the record reflects the diverse jazz styles of the seasoned band members. Two tracks feature the guitar wizardry of guest artist Richard Smith, whose solo albums have garnered such awards as “Best Jazz Record of the Year" (TuneUp Magazine).
“Stealing A Moment" is a ten-song collection of original tunes written and produced by keyboardist Sam Mims, who toured and recorded for years with Richard Elliot before forming SnapDragon. Danny Fisk plays saxes, and his decades of experience lead to some mesmerizing performances. Carl Stutevoss adds the bass to the mix, and the drumming is by Steve Glaeser, who formerly toured with Clark Terry, Monte Alexander, and others.
The new CD is available for $12.99 at snapdragonjazz.com; one of the tracks, “Black Onyx," is available for free download at the site.
