Recommended for airplay

Three tracks, three formats.

Vocal · Latin

Sway

A polished vocal feature with a relaxed Latin feel. The clearest entry point into the sound and spirit of the record.

Vocal · New Orleans

L-O-V-E

A joyful vocal feature with a New Orleans second line double-time feel. The album's closing track and one of its signatures.

Instrumental · New Orleans

All Blues

A second-line treatment of the Miles Davis classic. Highlights the instrumental side and gives the band room to stretch.

Early word

What artists are saying.

“
This wonderful straight ahead offering by saxophonist Justin Pierce is a swinging treat. With the artful addition of vocalist Ashley Pierce, we get tracks reminiscent of Cannonball Adderley and Nancy Wilson. Add to the mix the world class rhythm section of Sean Michael Giddings, Young Heo, and Matt Young, and Sway becomes a must-have.
Steve WiestGrammy-nominated arranger; trombonist with Maynard Ferguson; former director, One O’Clock Lab Band
“
It’s wonderful; thoroughly enjoyable with great musicianship throughout. Ashley’s voice and interpretation are delightful and her musicianship is impressive… Congratulations on creating such an impressive musical statement.
Rich DeRosaGrammy-nominated arranger; Director of Jazz Composition and Arranging, University of North Texas
“
I listened to your recording and I enjoyed it very much. Great job and everyone displayed excellence.
Marcus McLaurineBassist, 30 years with Clark Terry; Dizzy Gillespie, Kenny Burrell, Count Basie Orchestra
