The Story Behind The Music
(and sample tracks)
Styne & Mine pays tribute to the music of Jule Styne with some of Christian Jacob’s originals mixed in. Hence the title. For Christian, this CD was a long time coming. For years he had been recording and touring with Trey Henry and Ray Brinker and he felt that this was a great project for them to record. Longtime friend and musical partner Tierney Sutton, joins in for two of the tracks.

REVIEWS
Styne & Mine
Bill Holman
"Christian, Trey and Ray are masters: chops are in abundance, but only in the service of the music. The charts, whether by Christian or by the trio, are superb."
~ Bill Holman
Benny Golson
"I’ve heard and played with many pianists over many years, including some of the great ones, so that it would take one with exceptional talent to cause my ears to “stand up.” Christian has done just that with this CD... This is real jazz at its finest."
~Benny Golson
Down Beat
“Jacob, a lyrical player in the Bill Evans/Keith Jarrett stylistic mode with touches of Oscar Peterson flash, offers a nicely
crafted rendering of nine Jule Styne standards, as well as a sensitive look at four of his own compositions.”
~Will Smith
