Press Release Summary: Project Grand Slam is the collaboration of four accomplished
contemporary jazz leaders who count Return To Forever, Bela Fleck, and Bruce Hornsby
among their influences.


Press Release Body: Hollywood, CA, October 28, 2008 -- Project Grand Slam promises
to hit plenty of homeruns with the October 28 release of their debut album Play."
With five of its thirteen tracks and the band having already been prominently
featured on the hit NBC Series "Lipstick Jungle," the eclectic contemporary jazz
band is savoring the fruits of early success. But there's plenty more where that
came from: loaded to the brim with smooth musicianship and joyful jamming. Acid
Jazz Magazine states, "Project Grand Slam is a spectacular mix of jazz, fusion and
rock that combines melody, groove and great improvisation.

Headlining Project Grand Slam's first foray is the current radio track "The Captain
of Her Heart," a cover of Double's 1986 chart-topper. Aided by noted vocalist Judie
Tzuke, the song's cool vibes and velvety aura allow Play to hit its stride early.
That momentum continues thanks to the steady hands of Project Grand Slam's players,
who composed most of the album's tracks. With Robert Miller on bass, Haim Cotton on
keyboards, Ron Thaler on drums, and Gilad Ronen on sax, true jazz fans will know
they're in store for a special ride. Up-tempo grooves like "Studio One" and "Because
She Said So" start things off right, while slower numbers like "Baal HaSulam" and
"Shades of Memories" demonstrate the quartet's versatility. As producer Frank
Filipetti says, "Gorgeous tunes, great beats. This record is a home run." Audiences
everywhere will undoubtedly agree.

Project Grand Slam is the collaboration of four accomplished contemporary jazz
leaders who count Return To Forever, Bela Fleck, and Bruce Hornsby among their
influences. They have performed with many notable artists, including Sarah
McLachlan, Rob Thomas, Alicia Keys, and Herbie Hancock.
