It was produced by Grammy award winner, Rob Fraboni [Rolling Stones, The Band, Eric Clapton, Wayne Shorter]. « Throwback emerges as a major milestone in Hertzog’s young career » – Glenn Astarita, All About Jazz

The record represents a landmark collaboration for the band and was also produced by the brilliant Grammy winner, Rob Fraboni. The Young Presidents also produced a short documentary on the making of the project entitled « Building The Coalition » that premiered at New York’s VisionFest Film Festival in June 2013.

Aout Trevor Gordon Hall

From the outskirts of Philadelphia PA, Trevor is an acoustic instrumentalist whose compositions range in style from driving rhythms to soft melodic phrases.  Trevor caught the eye of 9 time Grammy winning producer Joe Nicolo (James Taylor, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, etc.), who produced two of Trevor’s releases entitled “Finding My Way” and “Let Your Heart Be Light”.  These releases garnered high reviews and gave Trevor such opportunities as recording with bass virtuoso Michael Manring as well as continuing to share the stage with artists such as Pat Martino, Phil Keaggy, Don Ross, Andy Mckee, Alex Skolnick, The California Guitar Trio, Billy Cobham etc.  Trevor has collaborated with various builders to redesign an instrument called the kalimba, which mounts to the surface of the guitar.  Compositions inspired by the pairing of the two instruments can be heard in Trevor’s Candyrat Records debut “Entelechy”.  Upon its release, this album climbed the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts, as well as YouTube Top Commented/Top Favorited/Most Discussed categories with the release of videos.  His music has been featured on various national radio stations including NPR and television networks including NBC.  Trevor performs throughout the USA, Canada, and Europe.

“…In the genre of intriguing guitar players Trevor really stands out. His music is both soothing and challenging…”
Graham Nash – Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and well known member of the group Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

“…Creative imagination resides, as well as flourishes within certain artists, and it certainly does so in Trevor Gordon Hall. Ingenuity is something that always causes surprise, and this gentleman’s abilities are totally exceptional…”
Pat Martino – Legendary Jazz Guitarist

“…Trevor is very skilled…his compositions are beautiful, atmospheric, open and heartfelt…I admire him very much…”
Tommy Emmanuel, Award Winning guitar virtuoso

Celebrate The Legendary Frankie Manning’s 100th! Savoy Ball May 23 NYC – Edison Ballroom View this email in your browser

Frankie’s Centennial Savoy Ball Celebrating Frankie Manning’s 100th Birthday Friday May 23, 2014 The Edison Ballroom New York City Swingin’ And Dancin’ to the George Gee 17-Piece Swing Orchestra Tickets Early Bird $110 – At the Door $145. FrankieSavoyBallNY.Com Queen of the Ball: Dawn Hampton, from the famed Hampton Family. Charleston Dancers Special Video Buffet Dinner and Open Bar All Evening Black Tie/Vintage The Edison Ballroom, shown here in around 1934, is one of the few restored 1930s ballrooms in New York City. Tickets – Early Bird $110 – At the Door $145. FrankieSavoyBallNY.Com Part of the NYC Frankie Trifecta celebrating Frankie Manning’s 100th Birthday.   Frankie Manning, legendary Lindy Hop dancer, born in 1914, was raised, lived and danced most of his life in New York City, passing away just before his 95th Birthday.  From May 16-May 26, 2014, New York City plays host to his 100th Birthday Celebration.  The Celebration has attracted dancers from all over the world, many of whom learned from him at Sweden’s Herrang Dance Camp and dance events worldwide. Above, from his cover photograph, Life Magazine in 1941, W. Eugene Smith. The Producers. Zort Music (Alan Sugarman) and Prohibition Productions  (Patrick Soluri). Alan Sugarman was the producer in 1999 of Frankie’s 85th Birthday Celebration at Roseland Ballroom, attracting 1800 dancers on one dance floor, with Frankie, for his birthday. The New York Times in a March 27, 2014 Article on the Closing of Roseland Ballroom (photo above) noted the 1999 event as one of the most memorable Roseland Events in the last 25 years: « 1999 Frankie Manning, known as the Pied Piper of the Lindy Hop, danced with 85 successive partners at the Roseland Ballroom to celebrate his 85th birthday. It was satisfying, said Alan Sugarman, a producer of that event, since, in 1935, Mr. Manning had been excluded from the hall because he was black. “In 1999, Roseland apologized and put Frankie’s dance shoes on their wall of fame,” he said. » The video of the gracious 1999 apology from Roseland has just been posted at YouTube: Prohibition Productions and The Salon (Patrick Soluri) have been producing popular lounge and swing events since 2001 at the Player’s Club, the Edison Ballroom, the Empire Hotel, and the Copacabana.
