ENDANGERED SPEECHES AND THEiR CD 'THE CiTY iS ROUGH' AND MUSiC FROM RO SHAM BEAUX, OSCAR PEREZ, GARY SMULYAN AND MORE!!!  MARCH
18, 2012 - The weekly
online radio series Jazzed and Blue: Profiles in
Blues and Jazz is back and is now available for download at
Rockwired.com and features an exclusive interview with keyboardist
Michael Hurwitz of the the 13-piece, international band Endangered
Speeches regarding their mesmerizing debut CD 'The City is
Rough'. In
the opening
segment, Hurwitz discusses the
inspiration behind the tracks of their new project and the
creative process that brings about such compelling music. The second
half of this edition of Jazzed
and Blue
will feature music from such jazz artists as Ro Sham Beaux, Jeff
Hamilton Trio, Nick Moran Trio, Susan Krebs Band and more.
“After being gone for about three months, it is great to finally be
back and doing this show again. " says Jazzed and Blue host Brian Lush.
“It's a real treat to end a long week with a show like this and to kick
back and listen to some great music."Endangered Speeches, the creative brainchild of Greek MC/singer/composer/arranger Mariletta Konstantara, aims to restore a meaningful message and forward direction to hip-hop music. Rooted equally in hip-hop and reggae, the Endangered Speeches sound is characterized chiefly by the unique global view brought by each of its 13 members. Although Drum n’ Bass, Dub, Ska, Soul and Rebetika (traditional Greek music), all contribute toward a diverse sound, the cemented rhythm section, airtight horns, and four-part vocal harmonies build a sound both unbreakable and unmistakable. Founded in 2008, it took a year until the band’s lineup solidified. Now, under the direction of the native Athenian, the group is equipped to bring their signature sound, style, and statement back to all the corners of the world that members call “home.” While Endangered Speeches formed at Berklee College of Music and currently call Boston their collective home, members hail from places as wide-ranging as Canada, Mexico, Norway, Greece, Africa, India and around United States, each with diverse musical experience. Now, with the forthcoming release of the debut album, The City is Rough, the band moves determinedly forward, poised to bring the music “home.” TODAY'S

LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn't
looked back
since. He is currently the host of all of ROCKWIRED.COM's programming
which includes such shows as ROCKWIRED RADIO PROFILES and ROCKWIRED
FREE FORM RADIO. As
program producer for ROCKWiRED.COM, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED's
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."CONTACT
