 JACD 1027     JOURNEYS

Total Time:  64 min.

 All-new renditions chosen to re-explore favorite Ivory&Gold tunes or respond to requests to include certain new tunes in their repertoire.

 

 JACD 1026     DOORWAYS

Total Time:  59 min. 23 sec.

 This album seeks to imbue the music of over 100 years ago with the vigor and vitality with which it was performed when it was the cutting edge, dangerous music of its day.  Too often when older styles are explored, the performer can get mired in a curator-like respect that saps the life out of the music they are presenting.  Not so here.

 

 JACD 1025     STARRY, STARRY NIGHTS

Total Time:  64 min.

 This CD showcases the calmer, richer sounds of ballads which serve to highlight the beautiful tone Anne creates with her gold flute.  The songs herein have the night and stars as their theme.  Enjoy with a glass of your favorite beverage and a favorite loved one.

 

 JACD 1016     REFLECTIONS OF LOVE

Total Time:  73 min. 24 sec.

 This Ivory&Gold project focuses on the myriad aspects of love.  Love is present in an endless variety of situations and circumstances and we have chosen tunes that somehow touch on those different stages, flavors and occasions of love found, lost and shared.

 

 JACD 1012     MY FUNNY VALENTINE

Total Time:  69 min.

 This CD represents Anne and Jeff’s earliest all-ballad recording and remains the catalogue’s best seller.  Broadway ballads from the pens of the immortal Gershwin, Porter and Rodgers are joined by the best melodies from more contemporary composers including Sondheim and Lloyd Webber.

 

 ARCD 19324     IN MY SOLITUDE

Total Time:  69 min. 15 sec.

 Jeff’s inaugural solo release on the Arbors record label is a departure from his “take-no-prisoners” style.  Half the numbers are slow, thoughtful and contemplative, while the others sparkle across the keys with verve and wit.


 BRCD 104     JEFF BARNHART & BRIAN HOLLAND—STOMPIN’ ‘EM DOWN

Total Time: 65 min.

 Jeff and Brian tear up the pianos in this must-have release.  Many favorites from Joplin, Confrey and more are here, along with a rag by Dave Jasen written especially for this recording.  Good friend Mike Schwimmer joins the boys on washboard and vocals!
