(http://www.lcwells.com) Born and raised in NJ, LC Wells left college to follow his dreams of becoming a songwriter and musician. Influenced by both the rock and jazz greats, Wells’ originals offer screaming rock solos as well as blazing sheets of sound that combine the two genres. Today, Wells teaches guitar and piano and records in his home studio. His focus is on songwriting and producing music for licensing. Along with producing his new Christmas tune, I Wish It Would Snow and his debut CD "Off The Cuff", Wells also created a 30-page study guide and play-a-long CD for the Off The Cuff collection. “I Wish It Would Snow” was performed by jazz legends, Gloria Lynne and featuring Bucky Pizzarelli, Jerry Bruno, Jim West and Jay Dittamo. “I Wish It Would Snow” is the perfect backdrop for a nostalgic Christmas filled with memories and the fullness of the holiday spirit. Gloria Lynne brings her signature vocals to the composition with the musical conversation between some of the best musicians of our time” says Jaijai Jackson, creator of The Jazz Network Worldwide. "What does anyone hope for when his or her music is about to be heard? Well, writing is such a solitary and personal act, and yet, why do it unless you share it? Growing up in the 50-60’s there was a soundtrack that accompanied my days. Whether it was listening to William B. Williams on WNEWam playing Sinatra, Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, or Jonathan Schwartz on WNEWfm introducing Hendrix, Zappa or Aretha, the stuff was cool. The radio was on whether I was eating breakfast or in the car and I was listening. But even beyond the radio, my Dad loved jazz, and so it began. My influences were varied and so are the styles represented here. Whether it’s the soulful beauty of Miss Gloria Lynne’s rendition of I Wish It Would Snow, the blazing Coltrane-like "Paralysis Through Analysis', the melodic and foreboding 'Storm Warning', or the haunting ballad 'Woman In the Snow', it’s my hope that in listening to one, or the collection, you will identify with my journey and enjoy the tunes" says Larry. (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/LCWells1)Wells’ previous release ‘Off The Cuff’s’ sounds are influenced as much by Wells’s observations as they are his diverse influences—Hendrix, Cream, Zappa, James Brown, Miles, Coltrane, Charlie Parker, the list goes on. “The songs on Off The Cuff, as well as my new release I Wish It Would Snow, were all written and performed with a passion for life. I’ve been blessed to play with some of the best and I’m really pleased with how they have turned out" shares Larry. "Off The Cuff" also features a number of great players: Mike Longo (Dizzy Gillespie’s music director of many years) and Marty Laskin play great solos on Dizzy Heights. Allan Namery delivers a killer sax solo on “Paralysis Through Analyisis” along with a blazing guitar from Wells himself. JB Lessen (guitar, harmonica) Susan Diedrichsen (vocals) are heard on multiple tracks. The album was co-produced by Jay Dittamo (drums, percussion, vibes and keyboard) and recorded at The Cave Studio, Waldwick, NJ.
