Thursday,March 24th ,2011--11pm EDT

Born: December 25, 1941 | Instrument: Sax, baritone

Ronnie Cuber is a baritone sax player strong enough to bring out the lyricism of the weighty instrument. While he plays traditional jazz in the style of Pepper Adams and Nick Brignola, Cuber also has led Latin sessions and appeared on dozens of pop recordings as an in-demand sideman. Cuber was born on Christmas, 1941, in New York. When he was 18, he appeared in Marshall Brown's Newport Youth Band at the Newport Jazz Festival. Three years later he was in Slide Hampton's groups and spent the 1960s working with Maynard Ferguson, George Benson, Lionel Hampton, Woody Herman and Lonnie Smith.During the next decade, Cuber performed on a slew of recordings and embraced distant ends of the woodwind family by playing flute and baritone sax on Eddie Palmieri's 1973 record, Sun Of Latin Music. While working with Lee Konitz in the late '70s, Cuber featured the clarinet and soprano sax alongside the baritone in his arsenal. He recorded his own Cuber Libre in 1976 and released a succession of traditional jazz records in the '80s and '90s, such as Live At The Blue Note and The Scene Is Clean (Milestone). In the 1980's he was a member of the Saturday Night Live Band for 5 years. The slew of pop musicians who have recruited easy-going Cuber for sessions include Chaka Kahn, Paul Simon. In 1998, Cuber played on and arranged The Three Baritone Saxophone tribute disc, Plays Mulligan on Dreyfus Records, and has arranged and recorded on 6 Mingus Big Band cd's for Dreyfus Records.

Warren Michaels and Michael Annotti invite you to listen to a few of his tracks and then discusses his up and coming career on stage and in the recording business.. no call ins...but swing by and join us in the chat room Music is life to Michael Annotti, he is a singer, player of instruments and writer of his own destiny. Life didn't start out musical for Michael as a child but after going through some significant life changing experiences he received his vision that he was to become a voice for people who have no voice and bring more love into the world with songs that are intended to heal the listener and strengthen the soul. Many have doubted Michael's ability to succeed in the competitive music industry, he is not from a musical family background, he started his solo career in 2000 and currently performs in the Monterey/Salinas/Santa Cruz area of California, as well as touring in the summer. Before moving forward as a solo artist Michael performed as a background singer various many Bay Area bands, Annotti Music self publishes and distributes all of Michael Annotti's projects, and he believes firmly in keeping ownership and control over his music, creativity and destiny, he feels with focus, positive attitude and action people can achieve their goals in life, no matter how impossible they may seem to others, and he is living proof it is true. A solo album in coming later in 2011, currently Michael Annotti Ep is available directly from Annotti Music, this cd has 8 songs that will be on the full album to give fans and new listeners a feeling of what is coming up later this year.
