TARRIII featuring ‘Timberland Dread’ Releases 3rd CD "Work Hard"

Westchester, NY (PRWEB) July 29, 2005

Jawwbone Records, a subsidiary of Tarriii Music & graphics, Inc., has announced the release of the third reggae CD from the talented group TARRIII called “Work Hard.”

TARR3 (aka “the Timberland Dread” by many for his portrayal of the taxi driver “who’s seen it all” in the Timberland brand commercial called For the Journey) is the featured singer, songwriter, musician, and producer. He is joined by Njoa, TARRIII’s other half, to round out the sound with sweet vocals and songwriting on this refreshing reggae and world music CD. TARR3, originally hailing from Black River Jamaica, and raised in White Plains, NY, collaborates here with Njoa, from Greenwich, CT on their second CD.

“Work Hard” is an eclectic mix: featuring largely original tunes with melodies to be remembered; rhythms that make you groove; and lyrics that will be new “classics” about life, love and wonders. The word is spreading about two of the best covers you are likely to hear. One is reggae rhythmic version of the 1970′s Kansas classic, “Dust in the Wind;” and the other, the CD’s lead song “Come Rain Come Shine,” blends jazz and reggae. “Dust in the Wind” is already a featured song on radio in the New York metropolitan area and Atlanta and has been requested by avid listeners, especially after hearing the band perform it live at the White Plains, NY, Juneteenth Celebration on June 11th.

“Work Hard” also features reggae legend Chuck Turner, singer of hits – “I Need You,” “Run Around Girl,” and “Tears;” Ragga Lox, up and coming reggae artists known for his powerful tunes such as “Bright Lights Big City;” reggae dj legend Jim Nastic; Scari, who with a timely song, “War A Gwaun;” and Runako Flax who completes the set with his saxophone solo, recorded months before his tragic drowning accident off the coast of Ghana, August 2004.

TARRIII has two prior releases, In Dis Time in 1996 and One Bad released in 2001 both with songs that have been climbing the Amazon.com charts for music downloads. Talk about consistent: TARRIII has had 8 to 10 songs featured in the Top 100 Reggae downloads on Amazon for the past 3 months. ‘King Selassie’ released on One Bad shot up to #7 from #26 after TARRIII played this as the opening song at the Juneteenth festival.

TARRIII’s music has crossed borders and generations and the fan base continues to grow worldwide. TARRIII’s dance mix of their original ‘You Say You Try’ from the One Bad CD was ranked #1 – #3 on India’s darvazeymusic website for 16 continuous months. Fans from Italy to Poland, Argentina to Britain, and the Philippines to the USA have all appreciated the powerful and meaningful vibes from the music of TARRIII.

“Work Hard” is available for purchase online – check our website http://www.tarriii.com. Also available at a select group of Tower Records locations including.

Gutsy Sacred Music Festival Features 9 World Premieres, Dave Brubeck Work, Intercultural Concert

NEW YORK (PRWEB) September 26, 2006

A gutsy music festival featuring premieres of nine bold works from Eastern and Western religious traditions, a rarely performed spiritual composition by legendary jazz musician Dave Brubeck and a transformative intercultural concert that weaves sacred music from earliest biblical times to the “golden age” of medieval Spain, when Islamic, Christian and Jewish faiths enjoyed an unrivaled harmony, will be held at Merkin Concert Hall in New York Nov. 4-5.

The second Festival of Universal Sacred Music, produced and sponsored by the nonprofit Foundation for Universal Sacred Music (http://www.universalsacredmusic.org), will feature the first performances of extraordinary commissioned works by some of the world’s foremost contemporary sacred music composers, including Emmy and Juno Award winners.

“The festival dares to juxtapose and integrate musical and religious styles and customs in ways that we believe will open people’s minds and hearts,” says foundation Executive Director Ullamaija Kivimaki. “The courageous, healing music will help us celebrate our diversity while at the same time recognize all that we share in common. And through this, it can give us a sacred musical experience far richer and fuller than that of any single tradition.”

The foundation’s purpose is to help bridge the spiritual differences that divide the world today by fostering the creation and promotion of music that reflects the unifying and unconditional love of God.

Under the music directorship of conductor Susanne Peck, the festival’s nine commissioned works will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Reserved seats are $ 35. Brubeck’s piece will be performed during Saturday night’s concert. The intercultural concert will begin at 2 p.m. Sunday, with reserved seats $ 30.

Discounted Festival Passes, with reserved seats for all three concerts, are available for only $ 90. Groups, senior citizens and students are eligible for further discounts.

Complimentary receptions, during which audience members may meet the composers and musicians, follow the Saturday night and Sunday afternoon concerts.

Commissioned compositions and composers at the festival include:

“To God of All Nations,” a four-movement choral and instrumental piece, composed by University of Toronto professor and Hong Kong native Ka Nin Chan, that interweaves passages from the Bible, Koran and Buddhist writings to express the diversity of faiths and the oneness of God.

“The Family of God,” a harmonic, contrapuntal piece in four sections, by Emmy Award-winning Stephen Cohn of Los Angeles, observing the divisions humanity has created from its religious differences.

“Mandala for Dawn,” a musical mantra, by Kim Cunio of Sydney, Australia, of a soul’s liberation to light from darkness, as well as compassion, mercy and emptiness, following the killing of Dawn Griggs, a dear friend of the Cunio’s, who was murdered on her arrival in New Delhi for a meditation retreat; featuring the angelic voice of concert soprano soloist Heather Lee, winner of an ARIA award.

“Woods: A Prose Sonnet,” by Julie Dolphin of Purchase, N.Y., articulating an aural forest that celebrates the universal sum of love that rejoices in the beauty of life’s diversity as an expression of its inherent and coherent unity.
