The Chicago-based jazz duo of Typhanie Monique on vocals and Neal Alger on guitar have released their third project, Yuletide Groove,
a shimmering collection of holiday songs complete with special guest musicians. The CD features
Tony Monaco, George Fludas,
Victor Garcia and many others. Underneath all of the guests'
contributions lays the r&b-tinged
yet still firmly jazz-based work
of Alger and Monique.
Featuring the unique writing talents
of Alan Baylock, this new CD
showcases some of the best jazz musicians on the East Coast, and includes a guest appearance by saxophone legend Jerry Bergonzi.
"The musicianship in Baylock's orchestra can easily hold its own
with its New York and Los Angeles counterparts." -Scott Yanow
"... very imaginative writing. Alan's music is alive and full of surprises" -Kenny Werner
