Hello gang,
To celebrate the arrival of my daughter, I'm doing a gig at the
Elephant Room this Friday, July 14! Well, the gig was actually on the
books long ago but it's a great reason to play, right?

Come join the fun as the group will play mostly my original tunes and
a few from the classic jazz library.

See you there!

Hey Gang,
Have some exciting news for you. My 3rd CD, Kicks Are For Kids will
be the featured CD on the front page of CD Baby starting Saturday,
June 10th (well, really it's Friday June 9th at midnight PST but
who's counting?). Although the CD is a few years old, they only
recently received it and they think it's one of the best CD's they've
ever heard! Please see below for the review and all the details.

FROM CD BABY:
I love your "Kicks Are For Kids" CD so much I'm going to feature it on
the FRONT PAGE of CD Baby for a few days.

We're REALLY picky about what goes on the front page.  We get about
100 new albums a DAY coming in here now, (about 100,000 total), and
yours is one of the best I've ever heard.

OUR REVIEW  (feel free to quote it anywhere!) Kicking around cheeky
rhythmic conversation and contemporary classical dissonances, this
sassy modern jazz combo exudes a wonderfully bossy and rebellious
nature, often with rock and urban hip hop-like drums and disgruntled
melodies that give way to stunningly languid ballads and downtempo
numbers, pouring over with sensuality and abandonment. Stellar tenor
saxophonist, Elias Haslanger, leads the way through this ten-track
Kicks Are For Kids, gently pushing the songs along; and whether with
a tender poke or a sharp pinch, every note seems to spill and melt
out of the bell of his horn dripping onto the floor or evaporating
into the air, depending on the heat of the given track. But while his
playing certainly catches the ear, there's not the slightest question
that this group as a whole plays as one solid entity, one voice, one
daring, potent combo.

EMAIL YOUR FANS/FRIENDS ON THAT DAY.  Spread the good news.
Sometimes people need to see that other people love you, too, y'know?

TELL EVERYONE TO GO TO:

Love ya!

Hello friends,
Instead of mailing you weekly to remind you about Mondays @ Cedar
Street, I thought it best to send you a monthly reminder. Every Monday,
starting at 9pm, my jazz quintet will be playing at Cedar Street
Courtyard. The first Monday of the month is coming up tomorrow so we
hope to see you there.

May 1, May 8, May 15, May 22, and May 29 are all the Mondays in May so
come join us!

Hi Friends,
I'd like to invite you to Cedar Street this Tuesday night, 4/4 starting

Greetings!
Thanks to everyone who joined us at the Elephant last Friday. We had a
fantastic time and I hope you enjoyed the music. I've just received a
call to play Cedar Street Courtyard this Tuesday, March 14. Since I'm
not playing SXSW this year, think of this as an unofficial kick-off
party for the week's festivities. Cedar Street has an excellent sound
system and the weather should be perfect for some outdoor lounging.
Hope to see you there.

Wanted to let you know that I'll be performing with my quintet at the
Elephant Room next Friday, January 27th. Folks, I don't normally say
this, but this show will undoubtedly be one of our best. In addition
to the fact that we'll be in the studio all next week recording,
we're preparing to say goodbye to Hamilton, our bassist, who is
moving to Los Angeles.

This band has been together for over a year now so next week is
signigicant for us. We have a chance to document our time together by
recording and CD and performing one last time as a group for you so
please stop by if you can.

Elias

Hey Gang,
Couple of things to let you know about:

Next Thursday, Sept 15, good friend and colleague Fredrick Sanders
will be performing at Kenny Dorham's Backyard (1106 E 11th St 477-
9438 for more info). Fred is an amazing pianist from the New Orleans
area recently put in limbo by the storm. His family has temporarily
relocated to Dallas but since his livelihood is gone, this concert
will serve as a fundraiser to help him through the short-term. Show
starts at 8pm and cover is $10. If you can't make it, email me and
let me know how you may be able to help. elijazz2005@....

Next Friday, Sept 16, I'll be playing with the quintet at the
Elephant Room from 9:30pm - 1:30am. A night of original jazz
dedicated to the memory of the people and spirit of New Orleans. Come
down and join us.
