510JAZZ released the “January 16” album on February 12, 2018. John and David Vargas composed 16 new original songs. David dedicates this album to his grandmother Jesusa Estrada Cerezo with the title track “January 16” – a fitting tribute to an angel in our lives.
Our new album contains a wide array of stories that take the listener on a journey from sweet love ballads to fast-paced tales of world travel, to dark social reflections and songs that inspire faith. John’s writing was inspired by composers Antonio Carlos Jobim, Ivan Lins and Celso Fonseca. This project pays homage to legendary producers Sergio Mendes and Quincy Jones.
Building a solid rhythm foundation, 510JAZZ recruited Mark Rickey (piano) and Tony Song (guitar). Adding melodic drummer Collette d’Almeida and bassist Charlie Channel – 510JAZZ now had the perfect foundation needed to produce groundbreaking new songs.
Horns were arranged by Tom Povse (flute), featuring John Lewis (tenor sax) and Gil Cohen (trumpet and flugelhorn).
Stan Muncy arranged strings, with our quartet featuring Emily Onderdonk (viola), Lewis Patzner (cello), Mads Tolling (violin) and Matthew Szemela (violin). Stan Muncy also performs on vibes and latin percussion.
“January 16” also features a rich variety of vocal talent including Nikki Rey, MrMego, Nik-Nak, Oshra Sedan, Matt Blaque, Ricki Wegner, Maya Victoria, Nick Neira and Kristen Nicole.
Jay Midnight is featured DJ on two songs.
