Sought after keyboardist, producer, arranger and musical director Ed Roth, returns with the release of his second solo album romp, “Mad Beatnik!” The 11-song release is a follow up to his critically acclaimed debut self-titled album, which boasted three singles, including Roth’s innovative 75th anniversary cover of the George Gershwin classic, "Summertime" and his original song, “Blue” (named one of Groove Jazz Music’s Top 100 songs of 2013 with over half a million streams). "Mad Beatnik is a truly organic album," notes Roth. "There is no programming, no midi, no sequencing, no beat detective, no auto tune. Every keyboard instrument is real -- acoustic pianos, electric pianos, clavinets, or analog keyboards, and you feel that. All real instruments, drums, sax, trumpet, percussion, guitar, trombone, and electric bass or keyboard bass...and you certainly feel that too." The new album features a who’s who of musicians, including 3-time Grammy winner Tom Scott on sax, as well Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy winning drummer Chad Smith. Also lending their talents are Rock Deadrick on percussion (Ziggy Marley); Mitch Manker on trumpet and horns (Ray Charles), bassists James Manning (Chaka Khan and Billy Preston) and Andrew Ford (Whitney Houston), guitarists Linda Taylor (Tracy Chapman) and Joe Calderon (Billy Childs), and Tony Grant (Az Yet) with featured vocals. The album is engineered by Grammy winner Ryan Hewitt, mastered by Eric Boulanger, and co-produced by Roth and Warrior Records’ President, Jim Ervin. “I feel fortunate to have so many longtime friends lift up my album with their talents, great playing, and technical expertise,” said Ed. “I've worked for so many years with all of them that they can instinctively feel what I am trying to achieve.” It’s clear that Ed Roth’s songs emote lasting melodies and solos that speak to the listener like a short story and “Mad Beatnik” is the perfect example. “This is an album I meant to be heard, indulged in headphones, blasted while rolling down the freeway, and vibed to in the wee hours of the wolf,” relates Roth. “I took my time writing songs that speak, with melodies that sing and stay with you…I hope it reaches you.” # # # Video Directed by Salvatore Sebergandio © Warrior Records, a division of L.A.
