Great Month For Jazz Publicity
May has proven to be an excellent month for two of our Jazz Publicity artists. Both David Fiuczynski and Daniel Sadownick appeared in the May issue of Jazzwise with reviews of their latest albums.

Both of these albums have also garned favorible attention from many other publications and websites including: All About Jazz, DownBeat, and Jazz.com.
