"Uriel's Passage" by Amelia Coffey (Instrumental Artist from Oregon(OR))

Amelia Coffey has the right idea of how animals can inspire warm and inviting melodies with her New Age Jazz instrumental disc, "Uriel's Passage." Coffey has taken her love for animals and has artistically composed and performed these charming songs of peaceful mood music. "Dolphin Play" is stunning with a nice dynamic balance between the electric piano and flute while the melody sweetly flows with ease. Delicate and dreamy, the titled track, "Uriel's Passage" is serene with the flute playing with heartfelt emotions while guitar gracefully accompanies with soft broken chord progressions. Picture yourself standing in a lush, green meadow of Ireland with the wind gently blowing a warm summer breeze through your hair with the sounds of the ocean and birds singing, as you hear a beautiful rendition of "Danny Boy" performed ever so gracefully on the flute. Relax and enjoy the memorable, dreamscape sounds and lovely instrumental melodies on "Uriel's Passage."

"Nostra Orchestra Estemporanea" by NOE (Classical Artist from Italy)

When you hear the word orchestra, one would think there is a full ensemble of musical performers dressed in formal attire playing from eloquently scored pieces. This is not the case as NOE has taken "orchestra" to a new level with their latest disc "Nostra Orchestra Estemporanea." To truly appreciate this CD you must listen with an open mind and soul as it is creatively embedded with Avant Garde/free improvisational selections. Disregarding the rigid genres and forms of traditional music, "Prima Estemporanea Per Grande Orchestra" captures tones from the string section to winds with a sense of harmonious sync. Exploring unexpected sound textures, "Estemporanea Per Voce E Strumenti" displays modernism with new techniques and possibilities of the voice and instruments which has a cohesive appeal. The selections on this disc are experimental and innovating. Because there are no rules on this CD, the end result will capture your interest and attention. Don't be afraid to hear the sounds of "Nostra Orchestra Estemporanea" where instruments push the boundaries of normality to transcend into interesting originality.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Cady Finlayson with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Irish Coffee"

"Irish Coffee" the instrumental disc from the highly talented violinist Cady Finlayson is a stand out album filled with an abundance of Celtic feel. Known for performing traditional Irish music, Finlayson adds a touch of Americana to her latest effort and the result is a wonderful collection of brisk and lively melodies. The song "A Midwinter Waltz" makes you feel as if you are strolling along the breath taking hills of Ireland on a snowy day. Adding the American folk element "Brooklyn March" highlights Finlayson's energetic violin work and melds together Americana with an Irish flare. This album "Irish Coffee" is powered by energetic and enthusiastic violin instrumentals with Celtic flare and a colorful touch of folk.
