Making a retro turn, "Black-n-White" takes you back to "The Roaring 20's" with it's Big Band Swing sound. "Sax in the desert" slows the pace before "Believe in Life" thrust the album into the R&B realm. Who couldn't use a "Journey to Puerto Vierto" rounding off the CD, adding a taste of House to the last leg of the voyage. Enjoy your ride. This hot new recording label out of Detroit, MI. is geared to bring many genres of music for many different people from all walks of life. The recording label was founded earlier this year by the creative genius of Gary Felton & Brian Garrett. Gary (Gie) was born in Detroit circa 1973. Raised on Detroit's westside, Gary found his 12th St. neighborhood to have a "stay busy or stay in trouble" mentality. This attitude prompted many youths in and around the neighborhood to pursue their talents. Some played sports, mostly basketball, others chose music or haircutting. Knowing there was money to be made more than one way, Gary involved himself with the latter two. While Attending Murray-Wright high, Gary soon crossed paths with Eugene Jordan, forming a talented rap group and establishing a friendship that has lasted for over 15 years. Brian Garrett, was born in Detroit, circa 1970. Raised on the westside in the Linwood/ Davison Area. Always having a gift for music, Brian started at an early age. While attending Central H.S. he studied music and was also drum major of the band. After graduation, Brian pursued his musical interest even further, learning the art of "house" dancing and later joining Aretha Franklins' show on tour. While not on tour, Brian would make his mark on a slew of artist albums, producing, arranging, and also playing live instruments: Rewind back to 1991: As fate would have it, Brian happens to be on the same bus ride home as two young aspiring talents, giving the other passengers a quick "flow session". From young to old, the people were impressed by the two. Brian expressed mutual feelings, to the point of asking Eugene if the group had a producer: In a nutshell.... you've just read history in the making! After many moves and life experiences, Gary and Brian finally reconnected after a period of over two years. Brian presents Gary with a CD of material he explains to be something "different". NO NAME, NO TITLES. Once again..... you have just read history in the making! This album comes to be known as AREA 51, a fusion of jazz seamlessly blended with genres of music from R&B to house. Never to be outdone, J' Vaunte has mastered the art of music from live instrument to keyboardist extraordinaire. J' Vaunte "is music", and once you get a feel of the Area 51 album, you'll wonder what's in store next. Not one for surprises?
