Cardinal Entertainment TM -Representing and Promoting Musicians Through Excellence in Music
Author's note: Welcome to the website of Cardinal EntertainmentTM. I truly hope you enjoy my site. You will find that it's a mix of music, photo imagery, and nature's beauty, which makes sense to me. Music touches a common chord in life, and can be enjoyed to its utmost when wrapped within nature's exquisite beauty, such as the backdrop of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, within a day's drive from Omaha. I frequently reflect back to one of my favorite videos, the Moody Blues filmed live at Red Rocks. I have to say that Steve Raybine live at the Genuine Jazz Festival, in Breckenridge, Colorado, compares most favorably!  As a booking agent/manager/musical attorney for Steve Raybine, I would have to say that he is one of the most talented musicians I've ever met, and certainly the finest musician I've ever been professionally associated with. You will see from the site, his bio is
incredible, but what is equally impressive is his ability to compose
some of the finest contemporary smooth jazz in the nation. Steve
has a special ability to combine melodic pop influences with R&B,
Latin, and urban funk, to create a non-formulaic and fun sense of
musical awareness. While he can compose very up-beat tunes such
as Bop-City, Steve is also extremely gifted when it comes to composing, recording,
and performing ballads. His music often gives you the "feel good"
sense of being that the music of Brian Wilson did for me, growing up.
Similarly, Raybine's music is being enjoyed today by Generation X, baby-boomers and seniors alike.As a friend and business associate, I've had the privilege on numerous occasions to witness Steve creating, composing, and capturing his next tune. Seeing Steve compose on the piano is an awesome moment and makes me ponder what it must be like to witness a writer the likes of Elton John, one of my favorite composer, and recording artist. Raybine's piano gives wings to his spirit, which is then delicately and expertly intertwined on his vibraphone. If you are interested in booking Steve for a festival performance, a concert, gig, corporate function, private party or wedding, please do not hesitate to contact email or phone Cardinal EntertainmentTM. You will not regret it, I assure you. Over the past 5 years, Steve has released two CDs, first Balance Act, featuring San Diego Surf and Jonathan's Dream, followed by his current hit CD, Bad Kat Karma. Masterfully crafted and recorded, BKK appears on BAD KAT Records, LLC, and features the hit single, Bad Kat Karma, which has received airply on over 60 plus radio stations across the U.S., Europe, as well as on satellite radio's XM Satellite's Watercolours Channel and Cable TV's Music Choice. It also has been featured on www.smoothjazz.com, the nation's premier online smooth jazz radio station. The CD is available through Amazon.com, CDBABY.com, steveraybine.com and by digital download at various sites including iTunes.com . Other releases from the CD include the cover of the George Benson iconic Breezin', recorded and produced in L.A. by superstar Rick Braun, and the gorgeous Raybine ballad, Breckenridge Blue, due out in August of 2006. For more information on this release, feel free to contact Cardinal EntertainmentTM or Cliff Gorov at info@allthatjazzinc.com, Steve's national radio publicity consultant, or visit the All That Jazz website, www.allthatjazzinc.com. Finally, please note you can go to Steve's website and listen to a sample of his music, but make sure you visit the rest of his site. I think you'll find some fun and unique photo images, including some from Breckenridge as well as The Taste of Colorado. I hope that you enjoy this site and I look foreward to not only hearing from you but working with you on your musical booking interests. Best regards, Rob Laughlin, Esq. |
