September 13, 2019: New Releases from Navona and Big Round Records

September evokes many feelings – the back-to-school excitement of fresh notebooks and sharpened pencils, the soothing sensation of crisp mornings and cozy evenings, and a refocusing as the summer’s activities wind down. Carried by this newness of energy comes new music from Navona and Big Round Records, featuring daring string quartet performances, a high-vibe, empowering jazz singing experience, and much more.

Dive in and discover new music from Jeffrey Jacob, Sirius Quartet, Ian Erickson, Marga Richter, Jennifer Castellano, Brian Field, Lela Kaplowitz, and more.

SEPTEMBER RELEASES OUT NOW

DREAMERS

Jeffrey Jacob

Very few things are as universally, cross-culturally understood as music. Concert pianist Jeffrey Jacob knows and feels this profoundly. At the heart of his album DREAMERS stands Jacob’s Symphony No. 5, chronicling the emotions of undocumented children growing up in the United States.

PLAYING ON THE EDGE

Sirius Quartet; Ian Erickson; Marga Richter; Jennifer Castellano; Brian Field; Mari Tamaki

TO ONE

Lela Kaplowitz

Delivering a message of individual empowerment through song, acclaimed vocalist Lela Kaplowitz says that the sole purpose of Big Round Records’ TO ONE is to “bring inner and outer peace and acceptance…through music and positive vibration.”
