Indie Label Rainbowdancing Finds Favor with Radio for Its Second Release

Study Your Own Heart from Jazz Trombonist David Dahlsten: David Dahlsten Introduces a New Genre of Jazz Music He Calls 'Folk Jazz'

LOS ANGELES, July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Jazz Trombone/Pianist/Composer David Dahlsten's new CD release Study Your Own Heart debuted on the JazzWeek charts alongside Jazz noteworthies such as Herbie Hancock, Ernie Andrews, Roy Hargrove, David Benoit and Monty Alexander. Dahlsten is making his mark as a favorite with program directors and on-air radio hosts across the country with his new brand of Folk Jazz.

"This is the hippest CD I've heard in a long time!" boomed Dr. Brad Stone, KSJS Jazz Music Director in San Jose, CA.

In the music popularity polls, one or two songs on a CD turn heads, but Study Your Own Heart is spinning three to four different cuts in rotation in both Traditional and Smooth Jazz and Variety formats in major markets across the US -- making it truly "hip."

This rich, eclectic disc showcases Dahlsten's writing, arranging and performing talent on eight original compositions -- thought-provoking spoken word pieces performed by Dahlsten and Verrel Reed. The CD is driven by the powerful musicianship and horn lines of Dahlsten in tandem with gifted writer-pianist Rick Olson and expertly executed by his band Rainbow Dancing ensemble.

Dahlsten refers to the mixture of rhythms and textures heard on Study Your Own Heart as "Folk Jazz." His new generation of Jazz music is a blend of styles mastered during his touring years with R&B greats Bobby Womack, Buddy Miles and Jackie Wilson; Latin/Salsa giants Camilo Azuquita and Johnny Martinez; and infused with his straight-ahead Jazz chops from sessions with Jack Doherty, Jackie Mills and Ray Draper.

The free-spirited Dahlsten, a native of Los Angeles, learned to play the trombone at the age of 12 and hasn't put it down since. When this passionate and powerful performer takes to the stage he plants himself with slightly bent knees, raises his horn to his lips, looks squarely at the audience through his large horn-rimmed, rose-colored glasses and breathes fire into his music! "It's a wondrous, superbly arranged package -- written and composed by Dahlsten -- that's infused with heart and soul in equal measure," says Ray Richmond, Hollywood Reporter.

Study Your Own Heart embodies a wide range of moods, styles and rhythmic techniques featuring such tracks as Damn If I Know, Delirious Desire, Lofted Winged Essence, Monument Valley, Can't Stand the Violence, Princess of San Juan, Miranda Rights, as well as the title composition Study Your Own Heart.

Released on Dahlsten's indie label Rainbowdancing, his first CD Rainbowdancing and Study Your Own Heart are available online at CD Baby and Tower Records.
