SHAYNEE RAINBOLT SINGS RUSSELL GARCIA IN 3 CITY TOUR
Shaynee Rainbolt will celebrate legendary arranger, conductor and composer Russell Garcia's life in music in three venues in three US cities in September. In these rare U.S. appearances Russell Garcia will join Shaynee on stage, conducting his Four Trombone band. The show is called "Charmed Life: Shaynee Rainbolt SINGS Russell Garcia" and features 16 Russell Garcia Originals, including the 2008 MAC Award winning Song of the Year: "I Remember" with music by Russell Garcia and lyrics by Russell Garcia & Shaynee Rainbolt. The songs will be included in Shaynee's new CD of the same name. The first ever all-vocal album of the music of Russell Garcia.
Still working regularly, at 92, Garcia's life is far from the glamorous world of Hollywood he used to inhabit. However, he has been active in every area of the entertainment world - from radio and television to theatrical films and recordings - since the late 40s. His early 60s scores for George Pal's "The Time Machine" and "Atlantis, the Lost Continent" virtually created the music template for the many science fiction films that followed. His jazz arranging and composing can be heard on recordings by Stan Kenton, Roy Eldridge, Stan Getz, as well as a classic version of "Porgy and Bess" featuring Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. His book, "The Professional Arranger-Composer," has been a valued tool for both beginners and veterans since it was written in the mid-'40s.
Always an innovator, Russ Garcia is a living legend, and his music deserves to be heard by a new generation. His unexpected and groundbreaking Four-Trombone Band with famed brass players Frank Rosolino, Tommy Pederson, Maynard Ferguson and Herbie Harper led him to use this instrumentation to great success in collaborations with singers Frances Faye and Anita O'Day, and he now brings it back to us in his most recent collaboration with singer Shaynee Rainbolt.
Having arranged for Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Anita O'Day, Mel Torme, Julie London, Oscar Peterson, Stan Kenton, Maynard Ferguson, Andy Williams, Judy Garland and Henry Mancini - just to name a few - he has chosen to entrust his originals to Shaynee Rainbolt, one of the rising stars singing jazz and standards today.
