on Tilt Records
 Airborne has just released another CD Winds Of Change on Tilt Records. The band is still riding high on the wonderful success of last years 2007 release Turbulence.
The New CD Winds Of Change is coming out at an unsettled time in history. Wartime, an important election year, a world in turmoil, a broken economy, and people making decisions based on fear.
The world is finally traveling on the winds of change. Many discoveries and efforts have been made to make us all aware of the dangers that peril our planet and its children. Many wonderful people have already dedicated their lives for this important change. But their deeds must have everyone’s support, help, and blessing.
Projects for Global Warming, Hunger, Natural Disasters, New Energy Resources, and Economical Distress have been created. All these concerns and factors have stressed our earth to its boiling point. The time is now for change and to take action. Without prejudice we must all stand together to achieve peace and global unity to take on these most difficult tasks.
We must reach out our hands to the world. We can make this earth a better place to live. No matter what faith, race, color, or wealth you have. We are all children of this world. Help save our planet and its children! Reach out your hand and ride the Winds Of Change!

ROBERT HARRIS
Robert Harris grew up in Detroit, Michigan and it was there that his musical aspirations began at the age of 12 when he started playing trumpet in junior high school. At 16, Harris picked up the guitar and within a year, was playing throughout the Detroit area.
Harris made his way to the Seattle area where he began touring and spent several years on the West Coast before heading south to Los Angeles. Within a year of being in L.A., Robert was signed with West Management/Record Company and released his first CD Cool Breeze, which was featured on several radio stations worldwide.
Harris spent 10 years in L.A. working as a studio musician, arranging and producing projects, as well as, handling the control panel as head engineer. An entertainer at heart, Harris missed performing and moved to Central Florida where his band, the Robert Harris group, now performs in Orlando and for Richard Elliot at the Winter Park Art Festival. August 2008 also brought the Robert Harris Group the number one position as the opening act for Marion Meadows and Gerald Veasley at the Summer Jazz Series held on Jacksonville Beach, in Florida.
The group is currently scheduled for several national festivals next year; i.e.: Seabreeze Jazz Festival, Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival, Berks Jazz Fest, Atlanta Jazz Festival, and more. The Robert Harris group is also scheduled for repeat performance at several concert events hosted by Orlando’s premiere smooth jazz station WLOQ 103.1, Tampa Bay’s WSJT, and WGRV the Groove, Florida’s east coast station.
As a solo act, Harris has performed with saxophone great, Kirk Whalum and with Warren Hills’ band on Hills’ smooth jazz cruise. He can also be seen playing an acoustic duet with Peter White on the www.robertharrismusic.com photo page.
Harris recently released his 2nd smooth jazz CD, City Lights, which is a fanciful musical tryst filled with an array of tunes that keeps the joy flowing and the spirit high. Monaco, a personal favorite of mine, is currently being played on smooth jazz radio, nationwide.
I take great pleasure in presenting to some and introducing to others, the Robert Harris Group:
Lead and Rhythm Guitar, Keyboards, & Vocals: Robert Harris, Drum Programming: Steve Takahashi & Robert Harris, Bass (Lead Bass on Morning Light & Steppin Out): Jimmy Seay, Sax and Flute: Bruce Nardi, Sax: Michael Kahn.
Featured in the December 21, 2007 issue of the Orlando Sentinel, The Robert Harris Group is one of the premier Jazz / R&B groups in central Florida. This year, Robert opened for Mindi Abair at the Art and Music Festival at Lake Eola

BERNIE KENERSON
 Presenting Bernie Game (The Art of the EWI), the newest release on his own Bernup label, Bernie Kenerson brings listeners a contemporary Jazz/Groove record with innovation at its core. The foremost authority of the AKAI EWI 4000s (that’s synth heaven for horn players), Kenerson has been progressing as an electric wind instrumentalist for 30 years now—and it shows.
Bernie Game showcases the chops of a veteran jazzer composing with a maturity not often heard in contemporary “electric” Jazz. Kenerson explains, “I definitely came of age as a player during the ‘fusion revolution’ era of the 70s, and you’ll hear that influence both in my playing and in my composition. But what I took away most from that music was its accessibility ~ everyone can dig it! I think that’s a quality we’re starting to see again in contemporary Jazz, and I’m doing what I can to turn people on to some new, funky sounds.”
Funky, indeed! Kenerson’s virtuosic command of the EWI assures us that it is far from novelty or gimmick—this is a serious player with a unique voice that does more than make a statement; listeners fortunate enough to hear what Bernie Game has to offer will undoubtedly ask, “More, please?”
