EMMY® nominated director and notable upright/electric bassist, Brandon Robertson, will be releasing his debut album, Bass’d on a True Story, on September 13th 2019.
Jazz is the most “in-the-moment” music. At its best, it is a shifting conversation between players – not merely something to entertain those in the room. It’s a way to convey a message or a mood, combined with a sense of swing, to each other – and to the listeners. That contemporaneous dialogue is informed by the past and built on each player’s musical and life experiences. In his debut recording as a leader, Brandon Robertson takes this approach to a new level. You could call it the start of his musical autobiography. He wrote its eight original tracks over a 14-year period. Each tune reflects something important in his development as a man – and a musician. “Each song has a great memory that I hang on to, because it is tied to a significant moment in my life,” Brandon says.
Besides the eight originals, Brandon also delivers two of his favorite jazz standards, Brooks Bowman’s “East of the Sun (and West of the Moon)” and Benny Golson’s “Stablemates,” in a trio setting with pianist Mason Margut and drummer Leon Anderson. Like many other collaborators here, they worked with Brandon when he was studying music at Florida State University in Tallahassee. The project also features the bassist in various combinations with pianist Zach Bartholomew, drummer Gerald Watkins Jr., soprano saxophonist Adrian Crutchfield, singer Avis Berry and tenor saxophonist Lew Del Gatto and trumpeter James Suggs, with whom he has worked since putting down roots in Southwest Florida three years ago.
Throughout the aptly named Bass’d on a True Story, you’ll quickly discover that Brandon is not your typical bass player. He’s as comfortable taking the lead on a tune, playing the melody, as keeping time with the correct chord changes. His solos reveal a deep sense of melody, as well as unexpected accents that enhance the conversation.
The album will available from Slammin Media and distributed worldwide by Believe Distribution. Pre-save Bass’d on a True Story now: https://backl.ink/11734030

TORONTO — May 21, 2019 — Canadian singer/songwriter Lily Frost presents her most focused and stylish work to date with her new album, Retro-Moderne — available live at Toronto’s Rivoli on June 1 and digitally worldwide June 7th.
“We set out to make a retro-infused album with a fresh and current vibe,” the award-winning, multi-talented, genre-defying dynamo of an artist reflects. “Gus and I both love 60s mod music and we grew up at the same time in Montreal when mod, ska, and punk subcultures were part of the underground scene we played.
“We also love current trends in fashion and art.”
By ‘Gus’ she means Gus Van Go (The Stills, Whitehorse, Jill Barber, Terra Lightfoot), whose pointed and precise production helped deliver a record that wastes little time living up to its name. “I am thrilled with the new record and to be working with Gus and his team. When you find the right team and chemistry, it falls into place.
“The results speak for themselves.”
Retro-Moderne dives deep into a specific sound space, with a girl group-style back up befitting Dusty Springfield, twangy Quentin Tarantino-style spaghetti western guitars, and a dash of Latin hot sauce for added spit and vinegar, edge and attitude.
It’s within these 11 tracks that Frost weaves her tale and spins her tales of badass lovers and bullets dodged, transcending the listener in a way only Frost can, all while elevating her storied career to new creative heights.
Track “Reckless Corazón” ignites as a musical telenovela, detailing a woman torn between her head and her heart as she falls for the “bad boy” while “Dud” shines a light on life as a tongue-in-cheek, dark-dimmed commentary about a man who can’t follow through. Nichol Robertson appears in a heart-melting duet on “Wild is the Wind” and again on Sonny Bono’s “Bang Bang.” “Rainbow Glasses” and “Dud” were co-written with Frost’s former bandmate Chad Horton, while “Nickel and Dime (Cruel World)” — a mod pop to dubstep sonic journey about style under pressure and mod mentality — was written with Slakah the Beatchild.
“I Dodged A Bullet” goes full ‘girl group’ with twang, and “Rock Me Baby” stands out as a languid 50s-ish dream pop ballad which intimately brings a long-distance love affair together in blissful embrace.
“Songwriting is the way I process life,” she shares. “It is my outlet, my anchor, and my voice.”
A darling of the Canadian lounge scene, and an original of the Montreal lounge/punk scene, Frost quickly gained traction worldwide with a series of songs synched on the likes of Grey’s Anatomy, Crazy/Beautiful, Workin’ Moms, Charmed, Felicity, Degrassi and more. She has been featured in promotions for Chevy Cobalt, and her work on the theme song and score for Being Erica received a Gemini Award nomination.
She comes by her insightful and unique artistic perspective honestly; raised a ‘born again’ Christian, Frost left home at 18, determinedly curious what an alternate life would look like, beginning with university in Montreal. Meeting artists, writers, travellers and thinkers, she dipped her toe into the worlds of foreign film, philosophy, erotica, love, and travel, she never turned back. It’s that collective wealth of experience and imagination that continue to lead her to explore and report back through her lyrics.
Lily Frost’s band is comprised of Jay and Jessie Baird (Feist, Steven Page), Eric St. Laurent, Dan Miller, and Soli Joy, and features special guests such as Nichol Robertson and Lindsay Fitzsimmons.
Retro-Moderne is available digitally worldwide from Slammin Media through Believe Digital June 7th, 2019 and on CD and vinyl off stage at her June 1 album release party and from Slammin Media through Propagande in local stores and online at Amazon.

An internationally recognized and touring artist, Jonathan is widely acclaimed for his dark and dynamic sound.

Not one, but two artists from the Slammin Media family have been listed on the All About Jazz 2018 Top Listened list. The Heavyweights Brass Band’s track “Two Foot Ticket” off their album This City and The Tiki Collective’s “Hypnotized” from their debut album Muse both had features on All About Jazz as a Track of the Day during 2018.
In their highly anticipated third full-length album, This City, The Heavyweights take a pilgrimage to the city that has inspired them since their inception. Recorded in New Orleans, the cradle of jazz, with a second-line of special guests from groups such as Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Trumpet Mafia and many more, the Heavyweights bring a fresh, energetic take on a deeply grounded tradition. Not forgetting their roots in Toronto, the album also furthers their hometown collaborations with the 10-time Grammy contributor Kevin Breit on guitar and Canada’s reigning queen of jazz, blues and gospel Jackie Richardson on vocals. The Heavyweights released This City, on March 9th, 2018.
…..
“The uplifting, toe-tapping, impressive playing of the Heavyweights Brass Band in their third release has the band live up to its name with great, diverse musical sounds.”
…..
The Tiki Collective is a group of individuals who make music that is a blend of Exotica (Polynesian inspired), Pop, Classical, Surf and Jazz. The Tiki Collective members are based in Toronto Canada, have performed live since 2016 and released their debut album, Muse, on August 16th, 2018. Featuring an arsenal of talent, Muse is full of fresh and unique renditions of popular songs from an array of artists. From Lily Frost’s take of “Mountain High, Valley Low”—originally performed in the 1940s musical “Lute Song”—to the beautiful cover of Blue Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear The Reaper” by Melissa Lauren and The Willows. Muse is guaranteed to have a favourite track for listeners of every age and musical preference.
…..
“A new look at lounge from a crew that loves lounge/exotica but hates clichés and tropes that have been beaten to death… You don’t even need martinis to enjoy it. Well done.”
Chris Spector – The Midwest Record
…..
Both albums are available from Slammin Media and worldwide by Believe Distribution. Stream or download This City and Muse with the links below.

What others have had to say about Kinship:
“John Pittman has a classic, clean sound with a dash of Kenny Dorham sweetness.”
George Harris – Jazz Weekly

Lynn Bayley – The Art Music Lounge
“Letting pros be pros, this set stacks up nicely against any of your fave Blue Note sessions from their meatiest, prime years. A winner throughout that really lights up the night.”
