As we sift through our epically full inboxes and move further and further away from vacation daze, we can't help but get a little nostalgic for 2011—even as it's just passed. There was a new website, a new music series, new artists, new albums... it seems everything was NEW last year. So before we can move on to all the going-on's we have scheduled this calendar year, a quick recap of some of the music we released in 2011 is necessary for us in this crazy hit-it-and-forget-it internet world we've all grown accustomed to.

It seems like the holidays come earlier and earlier every year. So today and for one day only, put down your turkey basters because we're offering our complete catalog* for 25% off. That includes GPS MP3 albums for as little as $3.75, live sets for as little as $5, CDs for as little as $9, Sheet Music for as little as $11, and Subscriptions for as little at $18.

This Saturday, Dave Douglas & Brass Ecstasy hit the AngraJazz Festival in Acores, Portugal playing music from the Brass Ecstasy book—including music from the most recent title United Front: Brass Ecstasy at Newport.

Dave Douglas named Trumpeter of the Year in 2011 Downbeat Critics Poll. Nicole Mitchell named Best Flutist of the Year. Luis Bonilla and Nasheet Waits named Rising Star Trombonist and Drummer, respectively.

The first volume in the recently christened Greenleaf Portable Series (GPS) hit e-shelves this week. And for us folks unable to attend this years Solid Sound Festival to hear Brass Ecstasy tomorrow, here's a photo slideshow we put together to accompany the track Lush Life. Happy listening, happy weekend.
