 Flip! (Parsons/Lewin/Patitucci/Monder
SSPCD016/SO20016) is featured on the
June 2003 issue of JAZZIZ magazine.
In edition to editorial, the title track
is featured on the Jazz On Disc bonus
CD included with the magazine. JAZZIZ claims
a subscription rate of 190,000 with a
pass-along rate of 3.2 times, for a total
of 608,000 readers.
 < The
magazine features a brief review, and the
bold text below was highlighted on the page
in large type (see page 33):
Parsons/Lewin/Patitucci/Monder
balances its long moniker with the short
title of its CD. Flip! (Sons of
Sound) earns its name, as saxophonist Andy
Parsons and drummer Gene Lewin playfully
lead the quartet's melodic and rhythmic charges
in tandem with guitarist Ben Monder and bassist
John Patitucci. Parsons is the wild card
-- a semi-finalist in the 2002 Thelonious
Monk International Jazz Competitiion -- while
Lewin sports a wide-ranging résumé from
traditional jazz (Clark Terry) to the jam
band GrooveLily. Monder's work with
Paul Motian's Electric Bebop Band, plus Patitucci's
cast of great bandleaders (Chick Corea, Wayne
Shorter, Herbie Hancock), make for harmonic
cat-and-mouse chases on "Flip," "Tookish," and "Miss
Conception." |
  < Another
fine review was received this week in the
June/July 2003 issue of Drum!
Magazine:
" The writing
is as much the star as the band — thoughtful,
clever, but still grooving… Massive
solos, incredible drums, transcendent composition."
Flip! is
also featured in the "Indie Spotlight" section
of the June issue of DownBeat magazine
(see page 62). The web site for the magazine
had been featuring the CD online for the
entire month of May,
2003. > |
As many of you know, Flip! is
currently "chartbound" on
the JazzWeek radio charts, resulting
from spins on over 110 stations across the county,
with over 33 of the stations reporting medium
to heavy rotation. This week's move is from #7
up to the #4 position.

|   Finally, Film
Music Magazine this week announced the
ten finalists for the Fourth Annual Young
Film Composers Competition. The prestigious
list includes Andy Parsons among ten finalists
that were selected from 20 semi-finalists,
who were in turn chosen from the original
entries of over 500 composers across the
United States.
