Today we are vindicated and rewarded for our advance efforts on The Claudia Quintet’s newest album “Royal Toast” (Cuneiform Records).

Also Claudia is performing in New York City on June 14th at 45 Bleecker presented by Search & Restore. This concert will immediately follow the 14th Annual Jazz Journalist Association Jazz Awards (in which Claudia Quintet ringleader John Hollenbeck is nominated for Composer of the Year and Arranger of the Year and sometimes Claudia member Gary Versace for Organist of the Year).  We welcome inebriated and non-inebriated journalists, industry folk and regular ole fans to come and partake in the joy that is Claudia starting at 10 PM at 45 Bleecker.

We couldn’t be happier. So congrats to John, Chris, Ted, Matt, Drew, Gary, the folks at Cuneiform and all involved.
