MAXJAZZ releases new Russell Malone CD

The St. Louis-based label MAXJAZZ has a new release this week, Live at the Jazz Standard, Volume One by guitarist Russell Malone. Malone is familiar to St. Louis audiences from his appearances in recent years at Jazz at the Bistro - he even recorded a live CD there for another label with pianist Benny Green - and this is his second CD for MAXJAZZ, following up on 2004's Playground. The label is offering some sample excerpts from the new CD in an online "E-card," which can be accessed here.

MAXJAZZ also continues to offer a discount on purchases made via the Web. If you buy one CD at the regular $16.99 price, you can get up to four more at $12.99 each and get free shipping in the U.S.. For details, visit the MAXJAZZ Web site
