SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT to the FANS and FRIENDS
of
Vito DiSalvo & WE THREE
On August 13, 2010, Sony Pictures Entertainment [Columbia Pictures] released the Motion Picture EAT PRAY LOVE, starring Julia Roberts, Javier Bardem, James Franco and Billy Crudup, directed by Ryan Murphy and produced by DeDe Gardner and Brad Pitt.
Movie Synopsis: In a dramatic attempt to seek enlightenment and find herself, journalist LIZ GILBERT leaves a bitter husband of ten years (he’s angry she’s procrastinated getting pregnant), and her artist playwright lover (into Eastern religion but emotionally unavailable) to travel to Italy (where she mostly eats); to India (where she lives in an Ashram and meditates); and finally to Bali, where (after much hesitation) she opens herself to love once more.
As part of the musical score for the film, WE THREE has had two of their recordings licensed by Sony Films for use in the movie EAT PRAY LOVE.
TARANTELLA AMERICANA, composed and produced by Vito DiSalvo was recorded on WETHREE’S very first album BRAVO ITALIA! which was recorded in 1987.
A medley of the traditional Neapolitan TARANTELLA and QUADRIGLIA ABRUZZESE is also from the group's BRAVO ITALIA! Album. Both tracks feature Greg Grenek on Soprano Saxophone and Ken DelVecchio on Drums in addition to Vito DiSalvo on Accordion and Keyboards. DiSalvo also produced both tracks.
MHM Writer/Artist JIM
GUERRA Releases Two Jazz
Albums!
Jazz saxophonist and
composer, Jim Guerra
completed and released
two albums just before
the close of the 2009
year.
HOLD ME, an album
that was in the making
for more than a year
contains two original
Guerra compositions,
DEAR JOHN and MINOR DEE
and ten jazz classics.
Interestingly, Jazz
Drummer, Roger
Humphries, who played
drums on the original
recording of Horace
Silver's composition
SONG FOR MY FATHER also
played drums on Guerra's
recording. Roger and
Jim have been friends
and have worked together
both as performers and
educators for many
years. More than thirty
five jazz musicians
including John Wilson,
Sean Jones, Roger
Humphries, Eric Susoeff,
Marty Ashby, Jay Ashby,
Mike Tomaro, Steve Hawk,
and Jim's son and
bassist, Jason Guerra
performed on the album.
John Wilson arranged
several of the songs on
the album and Mike
Tomaro arranged SOLAR
with Guerra arranging
the remaining songs.
Jazz Radio personality
Tony Mowad had this to
say about the album:
"HOLD ME" is a great
contribution to the jazz
idiom. Jim Guerra and
his impressive cast of
musicians convey a
plethora of ingenuity
with every sound
considered and perfectly
placed. With its
abundance of inspired
improvisation, "HOLD ME"
pulls no punches, takes
no prisoners, and
thoroughly satisfies!
THE MUSIC OF JIM GUERRA
is a double CD of 24
original songs by Jim
Guerra. This album
offers the listener a
fresh approach to
Traditional Jazz. Again
using an equally
impressive list of
musicians, Guerra
invites the listener
into 'his world' with
innovative compositions
and excellent
performances.
Both albums are released
under the MHM
Productions Label and
all of Jim Guerra's
music is published by
Mifflin Hills Music
Publishing LLC.
"Congratulations to Jim
Guerra and his Musical
and Technical Team!!!"
