BOSTON, MA, April 03, 2014 (Press-News.org) Acclaimed vocalist Gabrielle Goodman (a Roberta Flack protege) has just released her new CD entitled Spiritual Tapestry. The CD includes 12 Negro Spirituals with various exciting treatments ranging from smooth jazz to traditional jazz to gospel.

Smooth jazz lovers will be thrilled to hear her collaboration with saxophonist Walter Beasley on Deep River with an arrangement that is reminiscent of Patti Labelle and Grover Washington including elements of gospel and jazz. It has even been said that Goodman sounds like a young Aretha Franklin on this track. The CD includes performances with musical giants like Patrice Rushen (piano) on City Called Heaven and Heaven Heaven, where they are also joined by Grammy Award winner Terri Lyne Carrington on drums offering a hint of the funky New Orleans Second Line sound. Goodman blends soul and jazz in her vocal interpretation on many treasures including the soothing standout Steal Away that ends with a quote from Someday We'll All Be Free. Spiritual Tapestry, which is currently available on iTunes and amazon.com, begins with Motherless Child featuring Ms. Goodman with brother David Alan Bunn (piano) and Carrington on drums setting the stage for the following 11 tracks taking listeners on a jazz infused musical journey. Joined by an incredible array of musicians including Yoron Israel (drums), Will Lydagate (bass), Jiri Nedoma (piano), Ron Ried, (bass), Jonathan Singleton (piano) vocalist Matthew Truss and Sean Dustin (drums) interchangeably throughout the CD, Ms. Goodman breathes new life into the oft covered classics while paying tribute to several genres.

Gabrielle Goodman is a longtime Berklee College (Boston,MA) Voice Professor and vocal artist who has worked with everyone in the music business from Roberta Flack to Chaka Khan to Michael Buble. On Spiritual Tapestry she displays her musicality not only as a vocalist, but also as a producer and arranger of all of the songs. A musical force to be reckoned with, Goodman is in great company on this CD as with her early Verve releases. Her previous releases Travelini Light and Until We Love feature the singer with Kevin Eubanks, Gary Thomas and Gary Bartz as well as Terri Lyne Carrington. Goodman continues to include A list jazz players keeping the standards high.

New Book "Pets and the Afterlife" Offers Comfort to Grieving Pet Owners

2014-04-03

The loss of a pet is like to loss of a child to pet owners. The love we share with our pets never dies, and in a new book called "Pets and the Afterlife" by Rob Gutro, the author provides proof that our pets do communicate with us from the other side. "I wrote this book to bring comfort to people who lost a pet and explain how our dogs and cats give us messages from the other side," Gutro said. "I'm a dog dad who lost two of my own beloved dogs and both have communicated with me, just as your pets are trying to get messages to you." Rob Gutro is a dog owner, dog ...

Study shows fertility drugs do not increase breast cancer risk

2014-04-03

PHILADELPHIA —Women who took clomiphene citrate (brand name Clomid) or gonadotropins as a part of fertility treatment did not experience an increased risk for breast cancer over 30 years of follow-up, compared with women who were not treated with these medications, according to a study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. "We wanted to evaluate the long-term relationship of fertility medications and breast cancer risk after controlling for other factors that have been shown to be correlated ...

Transplant drugs may help wipe out persistent HIV infections

2014-04-03

New research suggests that drugs commonly used to prevent organ rejection after transplantation may also be helpful for combating HIV. The findings, which are published in the American Journal of Transplantation, suggest a new strategy in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Despite the effectiveness of antiviral therapies at suppressing HIV, the virus still persists indefinitely at low levels in infected patients who are diligent about taking their medications. "Current therapies fail to cure the disease as they do not attack those viruses that remain hidden within the immune ...

Stroke risk higher after shingles, but antiviral drugs may provide protection

2014-04-03

[EMBARGOED UNTIL THURSDAY, APRIL 3] Patients' risk of stroke significantly increased following the first signs of shingles, but antiviral drugs appeared to offer some protection, according to a new study in Clinical Infectious Diseases, now available online. People with shingles, an often painful skin rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox, had a higher stroke risk in the first 6 months after shingles symptoms appeared; this risk was particularly increased in patients with a rash near their eyes, the study found. Shingles, or herpes zoster, is a significant ...

A brain region for resisting alcohol's allure

2014-04-03

As recovering spring breakers are regretting binge drinking escapades, it may be hard for them to appreciate that there is a positive side to the nausea, sleepiness, and stumbling. University of Utah neuroscientists report that when a region of the brain called the lateral habenula is chronically inactivated in rats, they repeatedly drink to excess and are less able to learn from the experience. The study, published online in PLOS ONE on April 2, has implications for understanding behaviors that drive alcohol addiction. While complex societal pressures contribute to alcoholism, ...

Magnetic anomaly deep within Earth's crust reveals Africa in North America

2014-04-02

Boulder, Colo., USA – The repeated cycles of plate tectonics that have led to collision and assembly of large supercontinents and their breakup and formation of new ocean basins have produced continents that are collages of bits and pieces of other continents. Figuring out the origin and make-up of continental crust formed and modified by these tectonic events is a vital to understanding Earth's geology and is important for many applied fields, such as oil, gas, and gold exploration. In many cases, the rocks involved in these collision and pull-apart episodes are still ...

NASA releases images of M-class solar flare

2014-04-02

On April 2, 2014, the sun emitted a mid-level solar flare, peaking at 10:05 a.m. EDT, and NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured imagery of the event. Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground, however -- when intense enough -- they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel. To see how this event may impact Earth, please visit NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center at http://spaceweather.gov, the U.S. government's ...

NASA sees Tropical Cyclone's Hellen's lively remnants

2014-04-02

Powerful Tropical Cyclone Hellen rapidly weakened after hitting northwestern Madagascar but Hellen's remnants have recently started to show signs of life. The TRMM satellite flew over these remnants in the Mozambique Channel on April 2, 2014 at 0143 UTC. A rainfall analysis using the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission's (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) instruments found that some strong convective thunderstorms had developed in the area. It was revealed by TRMM PR data that rain was falling at a rate of over 75 mm/~ 3 inches in a few locations. TRMM's ...

River ice reveals new twist on Arctic melt

2014-04-02

A new study led by Lance Lesack, a Simon Fraser University geographer and Faculty of Environment professor, has discovered unexpected climate-driven changes in the mighty Mackenzie River's ice breakup. This discovery may help resolve the complex puzzle underlying why Arctic ice is disappearing more rapidly than expected. Lesack is the lead author on Local spring warming drives earlier river-ice breakup in a large Arctic delta. Published recently in Geophysical Research Letters, the study has co-authors at Wilfrid Laurier University, the University of Alberta and Memorial ...

Body odor changes following vaccination

2014-04-02

PHILADELPHIA (April 2, 2014) – Our understanding of the role of body odor in conveying personal information continues to grow. New research from the Monell Chemical Senses Center and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reveals that immunization can trigger a distinct change in body odor. This is the first demonstration of a bodily odor change due to immune activation. The findings will appear in the April 10 issue of Physiology and Behavior. In addition, portions of the work will be presented on April 10 at the 36th Annual Meeting of the Association for Chemoreception ...
