PTME RELEASES ITS SECOND CD:
Everybody Oughta Have One
by Lucky Thompson’s DNA

and REMIX and MASTERED of ITS FIRST ONE: ALFIE
by Alfie Pollitt and the All Stars

Philly Through My Ear Recording Label and Productions, Inc. (PTME) released its second CD, as the first one, in the jazz tradition of this great music venue, Philadelphia. Lucky Thompson, Philly’s dynamic percussionist, has put together a quintet of exceptional musicians, including Umar Raheem on saxophone, Jeff Knoettner on keyboards, Tony Smith on trumpet, and Lee Smith on bass that performs 10 original compositions. According to the bandleader, “this CD is very versatile and can appeal to a wide listening audience: people who are jazz traditionalists, smooth jazz listeners, and there is even one tune for those who like contemporary gospel.” Although a predominately instrumental CD, Warren Cooper of WRTI – FM 90.1 provides vocals on Jeff Knoettner’s The Prowler, and Umar Raheem on his own tune Imani’s Passion.

PTME's first product, entitled Alfie, consisting of 10 original compositions by renowned pianist Alfie Pollitt, has been remixed and mastered. This time on the inspirational track, “The Divine Light,” Alfie is joined by bassist Mike Boone and drummer Eddie Jones.

All the musicians and the producer are available for interviews. For more information, email us or call (215) 870-7725.
