Free MP3 downloads
We began giving away free high quality downloadable mp3’s before Christmas on our web site. It’s quickly become the most popular interactive feature on our site where we average over 2,000 downloads for each complete track. You can use these tracks too, with no restrictions for usage as each artist has signed off on their ongoing usage worldwide. They can be put on your own web site, and given to online sites in your country. They are tremendous marketing opportunities for our new releases. We encourage you to use them. We will continue to make MP3 tracks available for nearly all our future releases. We will shortly have one page where you can see all our downloads. For now use these links:

ROCKIN' THE SPIRIT: PIANO BLUES, BOOGIE & SPIRITUALS
Bob Seeley, Eric Reed, Johnny O'Neal, Mark Braun & Monty Alexander

JD294/SACD296

Five exceptional pianists join forces for an unforgettable evening of stomping boogie-woogie and soulful gospel music.

Like the film "Ray" - where Johnny O'Neal portrays Art Tatum - this project explores the similarities of church and secular music.

"This stuff is not some repertory music, this music is vibrant, and these guys are rockin’ and burning,” says Monty Alexander. “Boogie-woogie is no museum piece. It’s alive and well in the hands of the current masters."
