JOEL EVANS & ADRYAN RUSS
Joel Evans and Adryan Russ met at a gathering of The Society of Composers & Lyricists in Los Angeles. Joel had been writing for film and television and was seeking lyricists. Adryan had been writing pop tunes and songs for musical theater and was looking to write lyrics to great melodies – and change her tune!
They clicked in their mutual love for jazz and standards, and it was only natural that they soon found themselves writing new songs that emulate the ones they love so much. That was 10 years ago. They’re still working.
One of these songs, “Is It Me?” wound up in the film DOUBT with Meryl Streep, and others have been placed on television shows. Joel is the arranger on all songs except “There’s Never Been A Day Like This,” which was orchestrated by Dave Stout.Songs originally intended for music supervisors to utilize in upcoming films and television,
Evans and Russ believe that singers of the Great American Songbook might appreciate these as well. So, they’ve also created a companion songbook.

TONY GUERRERO
Trumpeter Tony Guerrero has amassed a worldwide following as a solo artist in the contemporary jazz scene, having released nine solo CDs over the last twenty years. Several of his recordings have hit the Billboard Charts and he has enjoyed steady radio airplay throughout the years. He is also active as a composer and producer in the Los Angeles area.
Tony’s 1991 song “The Buckethead Shuffle” (released by Hal Leonard) was one of the biggest selling Big Band charts for High Schools and Colleges, and continues to be heard worldwide today in concerts and competitions.
Recently, Tony has been arranging the music for a brand new Big Band album by John Tesh. The disc (available in 2011) features such heavyweights as Wayne Bergeron and Eric Marienthal and will, no doubt, surprise listeners more familiar with Tesh’s “New Age” work.
