Berklee’s student run label Jazz Revelation Records will celebrate the release of Dedication , its sixth album, Thursday, April 23, 8:15 p.m., at Boston’s Berklee Performance Center. The concert will feature six of the label’s student artists, including Billy Buss, Lucas Ellman, Emi Inaba, Randy Runyon, Eli Winderman, and Alex Wintz.
Dedication is dedicated to the late Richard Ehrman, Berklee’s concert office manager for the past 25 years, who passed away last November. The album includes 13 original compositions by 13 student bandleaders, who each dedicated their song to a musical or personal inspiration (Maurice Ravel, Michael Brecker). “The musicians presented here are a living embodiment of dedication in action,” said Kevin McCluskey, faculty advisor and producer, Jazz Revelation’s faculty advisor and producer.
The disc features artists from Russia, Belgium, London, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and California, and musical styles ranging from third stream, contemporary, and straightahead jazz, to fusion, groove, and funk. The label’s staff are responsible for managing a strict budget, choosing artists from a pool of over 100 submissions, producing, engineering, and promoting the album, and designing its artwork.
