JAZZ GUiTARiST NiCK MORAN OF THE NiCK MORAN TRiO AND THEiR NEWEST RELEASE 'NO TiME LiKE NOW' AND MUSiC FROM JANE BADLER, THE DANGLiNG SUCCESS AND MORE!!!  FEBRUARY
5, 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 jazz guitarist
Nick Moran of The Nick Moran Trio regarding his brand new release No
Time Like Now. In the opening segment, Moran discusses the
inspiration behind the tracks of his new CD, working with his trio
comprised of organist Brad Whiteley and drummer Chris Benham and his
affinity for the six-string. The second half of this edition of Jazzed
and Blue
will feature music from such jazz and blues artists as Dee Dee
Bridgewater, Victor Wainwright and the Wild Roots, Teddy Pressberg,
Veronneau, The Dangling Success 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."With every well-placed note and every incisive solo on Nick Moran's new album No Time Like Now, the guitarist brings an urgent creative agenda to the table. Featuring organist Brad Whiteley and drummer Chris Benham, both rising players on the New York scene, No Time Like Now is a potent trio session that focuses on Moran's stirring compositions and arrangements, venturesome material that consistently moves beyond organ combo conventions. The CD will be released March 6, 2012 on the Manor Sound label. Considering the music's searing emotional immediacy, it's not surprising that many of Moran's tunes were inspired by musicians, friends and even strangers who are no longer with us. This is a trio that can lock into a ferocious groove, but it's equally capable of ravishing, aching poignancy. "Some of this music was inspired by loss," says Moran, who was born and raised in New York City. "I wanted to capture the immediacy of the moment, the preciousness of the time we have." No Time Like Now is an impressive follow-up to Moran's 2006 debut, The Messenger, an organ trio session featuring an earlier incarnation of the band. While clearly steeped in the rich B3 tradition running from Jimmy Smith to John Patton to Wes Montgomery's classic sides with Melvin Rhyne, "we don't really play that way," Moran says. "This is not a 'Chicken Shack' band in any sense. We all love the organ bands, especially Dr. Lonnie Smith who's been a big inspiration. But at the heart of it, I come from a rock and blues tradition." 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
