Description
Songs from "Primebel" are now heard on over 150 radio stations via PRI syndicated show, "Echoes"! "Primebel" has been selected to three "Best of 2003" lists!! It is one of the Top 25 Essential CDs of 2003 as selected by the staff at "Echoes", one of the Ten Best New Age and Acoustic Instrumental Albums of 2003 as selected by Bill Binkelman of Wind and Wire (www.windandwire.com), and one of the Top Ten CDs of 2003 as selected by Grammy Award Winning Producer/Musician David Holt.
After two CDs with guitarist Ken Bonfield, Joe Ebel has released his first solo effort, "Primebel." And this enhanced CD is loaded with many bonus features accessible from a computer. It is prime Ebel!
"Primebel" is a fingerstyle-guitar instrumental CD with a difference. Joe Ebel, the composer, arranger and guitarist, is also an accomplished violinist with a respect for melody and feeling.
"Primebel" is a CD that celebrates melody with a playful spirit and emotional expression. With acoustic fingerstyle guitar as the foundation of each piece, violin melodies complete a wonderful musical painting that will remain with you long after you've first listened. From the joyous "First Snow", which captures the spirit of that first snowfall of the season, to the longing sound of "Ray of Hope", to the latin rhythms of "Palenque", to the playfulness of "The Joezone Layer", featuring Grammy-winning bassist Michael Manring (Michael Hedges), "Primebel" will suprise and delight. These songs were written from the heart, played with passion and recorded with precision.
The production ranges from the beautiful and peaceful guitar solo, "Annie's Garden" to the multi-track, rhythmicaly unique extravaganza, "Primebel" which showcases the talents of soprano saxophonist Stuart Reinhardt. Grammy-winning bassists Michael Manring (Windham Hill Records) and Eliot Wadopian (Paul Winter Consort) and drummer Tony Creasman (Southern Gospel Music Association Studio Musician of the Year 2002)lend their considerable talents to "Primebel".
Percussive elements like frame drum, finger drums, Tibetan singing bowl, congas and claves add spice to many of the tunes. Annie Lalley, an extraordinary vocalist, adds sweet choral textures to "The Calling" and "First Snow" and Joe Ebel's tasteful and beautiful five-string violin work is the icing on the cake and the "voice" that binds the songs together. Grammy winning engineer David Glasser, Airshow Mastering, added the magic of skillful mastering to add polish to the entire production.
Go ahead! Get Primebel...it's good for the soul!
