FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jazz-Funk Adventure on Stephen Pfister's "Music From The Man Cave" CD

Recorded during the peak of a brutal Maine winter and in the solace of his
garage upstairs, multi-instrumentalist/producer Stephen Pfister created the
outstanding funky modern soul/jazz CD "Music From The Man Cave". The CD is
Pfister's fifth and strongest to date and radio programmers have responded to it
with numerous airplay spins. Listeners and radio programmmers can go to
www.cdbaby.com/pfister4 to listen to tracks and order the CD.

The jazz-funk adventure has widespread appeal. "The Road Out" kicks off the
musical festivities with a Washington, DC go-go beat and Pfister's swirling
funky Hammond B3 organ touches. "Smooth Snow" is a funk-laden cut with diverse
sounds with Stevie Wonder and Bernie Worrell-esque clavinet playing that segues
into Pfister's distinct acoustic piano playing. The New Orleans French Quarter
vibe flows thru "Is it Safe To Go Out?". Pfister creates a live band feel though
he is the lone musician on "Well Now (I Don't Know About That)". Finally, you
can imagine Stephen Pfister at the Blue Note in Manhattan performing "Peter
Then" with just a grand piano and a spotlight to the delight of a sophisticated
jazz audience.

Stephen Pfister is an immensely talented artist who has made his home for the
last 13 years in the town of Blue Hill, Maine. Doesn't seem like a likely place,
but there are musicians everywhere. Playing piano and organ for Big Pete Pearson
when he was in Bar Harbor, ME. started things off. That lead to the first CD
"Less Is More" with bassist Jason Fiefield and saxophonist Mark Hanson.You can
order the C To C CD at www.cdbaby.com/cd/c2c . Pfister then went on to record a
dynamic solo CD "Cold Hands-Warm Heart" that is also available at
www.cdbaby.com/cd/pfister . In 2006, Pfister released the funky "Coastal
Grooves" which Smother Review said "Good Stuff...Buy it Now". The CD can be
found at www.cdbaby.com/pfister2 . Two years ago, Pfister released the
critically-acclaimed funk outing "Monsters From The Deep Invades The Beach
Party". You can find this CD at www.cdbaby.com/pfister3.

Pfister cites the influence of Les McCann, Ramsey Lewis and Jimmy Smith with a
little Dr. John thrown in. Take a visit to the Downeast Maine region (Blue Hill,
Bar Harbor and Bangor, USA) and you will find Stephen Pfister. Those who can't
make the trek can experience all his genius on his latest CD "Music From The Man
Cave".
