Project Grand Slam Hits it Out of the Park With Play

Hollywood, CA – November 4, 2008 – Project Grand Slam promises to hit plenty of
homeruns with the November 4 release of their debut album Play." With five of
its thirteen
tracks and the band having already been prominently featured on the hit NBC
Series
"Lipstick Jungle," the eclectic contemporary jazz band is savoring the fruits of
early
success. But there's plenty more where that came from: loaded to the brim with
smooth
musicianship and joyful jamming. Acid Jazz Magazine states, "Project Grand Slam
is a
spectacular mix of jazz, fusion and rock that combines melody, groove and great
improvisation."

Headlining Project Grand Slam's first foray is the current radio track "The
Captain of Her
Heart," a cover of Double's 1986 chart-topper. Aided by noted vocalist Judie
Tzuke, the
song's cool vibes and velvety aura allow Play to hit its stride early. That
momentum
continues thanks to the steady hands of Project Grand Slam's players, who
composed most
of the album's tracks. With Robert Miller on bass, Haim Cotton on keyboards, Ron
Thaler
on drums, and Gilad Ronen on sax, true jazz fans will know they're in store for
a special
ride. Up-tempo grooves like "Studio One" and "Because She Said So" start things
off right,
while slower numbers like "Baal HaSulam" and "Shades of Memories" demonstrate
the
quartet's versatility. As producer Frank Filipetti says, "Gorgeous tunes, great
beats. This
record is a home run." Audiences everywhere will undoubtedly agree.

Project Grand Slam is the collaboration of four accomplished contemporary jazz
leaders
who count Return To Forever, Bela Fleck, and Bruce Hornsby among their
influences. They
have performed with many notable artists, including Sarah McLachlan, Rob Thomas,
Alicia
Keys, and Herbie Hancock.
