The Sheik of Araby is the first CD from Jonathan. It includes eleven standards from the early days of swing jazz through the 40's. Jonathan assembled his best collaborators as well as a new partner to help him with the project. Artists in the quintet include Ed Polcer on cornet, Mark Shane on piano, Mike Weatherly on bass and Kevin Dorn on percussion. Jonathan recorded it a few weeks before turning eleven years old over a two day period (about four hours a day) at Peter Karl's studio in Brooklyn. While Jonathan had discussed ideas for each piece in advance with his mom and Andy Stein, the pieces were recorded without charts or written arrangements and all the band members contributed to the final pieces.
Jonathan performs all the lead vocals on the recording. |
