Stanley Turrentine had one of the fattest, richest and most colorful sounds of all of my favorite players of the saxophone. Along with that amazing sound was a very soulful and lyrical style of playing that pulls you right in. Many people don’t know that he was a great soloist on jazz standards. So lyrical and swinging and his music always makes you feel good. I had the opportunity to see him up close in intimate bar settings and his music was always hip and high spirited with a lot of soul. His most popular period was probably his CTI period when he started to use the fusion jazz style in his music, featured the all stars, George Benson, Richard Tee, Bob James, Freddie Hubbard, Milt Jackson, Eric Gale, Grant Green, Idris Muhammed, and Ron Carter. During this period in 1970 he put out his biggest selling album, “Sugar”. Not only did the song “Sugar” become a hit but also a standard in the jazz repertoire. Also, he also plays Coltrane’s Impressions on this album and it’s a soulful and swinging version that is very hip! Here’s a video of Stanley on one of my favorite live programs ever on TV. David Sanborn hosted a show called, “Night Music” which was aired about 1am and featured some of the best jazz musicians alive at that time. The show didn’t last long but if you want to see some great live jazz, check out this video and some of the other jazz musicians who were featured.

She was hired through Rossi Music a sister company to Los Angeles Music Teachers. "Danielle is not only one of our outstanding voice teachers, but she's also a wonderful vocalist who has the ability to sing in 13 languages. That could be a Guinness world record!", jokes Grammy Winner, Rick Rossi, who manages both music based businesses. "I knew Danielle was an outstanding musician and vocalist since hiring her as a piano and voice teacher a few years ago. Then months later, after seeing the comments that were coming directly from her students and reading the Google reviews her students were leaving for her, confirmed that she was quite special!!"
"Recognizing her unique ability as a singer came a bit later, when we were discussing music and bands and she told me that she could sing in 13 languages. That immediately got my attention because in 2011, I had created a French and International Band called "Esperanto" that made an album of International music. At that time we were getting quite a few bookings at events, festivals and various kinds of dinner parties and even weddings! Right at our peak of success we lost our singer because she needed to move back east to help her aging mother. Ever since that time we were unable to find an adequate replacement because of all the languages she was able to sing. So when Danielle mentioned her ability to sing in many languages and the love she had for French Music and International music, I began to start marketing for our French Band again and this French Themed Wedding became her very first event with Rossi Music. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to be able to get some video footage and here's a sample of her singing at the event. https://youtu.be/Iiis5wTs-bk. This was a beautiful wedding filled with the best of everything, beautiful ballroom, amazing floral designs and for entertainment, the French music of Danielle and the band as well as French dancers who put on two 20 minute shows in between the sets of the french music." As a result, Martha Stewart Weddings asked to feature the French Themed Wedding in her magazine.
