KOCH Records to Release New Album by Jason Miles on August 19th, 2008

NEW YORK, NY, Jun 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
Producer/artist/arranger/composer and keyboardist Jason Miles will
release his second tribute to jazz and soul saxophonist Grover
Washington. "2 Grover With Love" will be released on August 19th, 2008
and is the highly anticipated follow up to 2000's heartfelt tribute, "To
Grover With Love," which sold over 100,000 CDs.

2009 marks the 10th anniversary of Grover Washington's death, and this
album pays tribute to the great legacy of Washington and his incredible
compositions of the '70s and '80s.

Miles says, "I started listening to 'Come Morning,' the follow up to
'Winelight,' and started to love those songs. I then listened to
'Strawberry Moon,' and realized that I was on one of the songs on the CD,
'Summer Nights,' written by Marcus Miller. I knew at that point that there
was definitely another Grover project to do, but it had to be done a
certain way."

"2 Grover With Love" is an homage to the CTI records style of music,
basing great songs with inspired playing by top artists. Miles decided to
cut the record live in the studio, just as Washington did on many of his
albums. Miles enlisted the talents of Chuck Loeb on guitar, Gerald
Veasley on bass, Buddy Williams on drums, and Ralph Macdonald on
percussion. "2 Grover With Love" also features Maysa (singing an
inspiring version of "Mr. Magic"), Najee, Andy Snitzer, Kim Waters, Jay
Beckenstein, Dean Brown and Dominic Farrinacci. After only one day of
rehearsal, the album was recorded live at Bennett studios in New Jersey.

The result is an innovative, contemporary jazz look at the '70s and '80s
versions of Grover's great legacy.

Miles has crafted music for Miles Davis, Luther Vandross, Marcus Miller,
Gato Barbieri, David Sanborn, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, The Crusaders,
Michael Brecker and many others. He has also produced ambitious musical
tributes to both Weather Report ("Celebrating the Music of Weather
Report") and Ivan Lins ("A Love Affair, The Music of Ivan Lins"). He has
received four Grammy nominations as a producer, and his album, "A Love
Affair..." garnered musician Sting a Best Male Pop Vocal for the track,
"She Walks This Earth." "A Love Affair..." also featured Grover
Washington's last studio performance.

Recently, Jason has produced Suzy Bogguss's new CD, "Sweet Danger," which
has garnered great critical acclaim. His latest projects have been Soul
Summit Live at The Berks Jazz Festival and Global Noize, his genre-bending
project with DJ Logic. He also produced the CD "Enjoy" by KOCH Recording
artist The Bjorkestra.

Jason has been playing more live concerts to bring his concepts to the
live stage. He has performed 2 major shows at the last 5 Berks Jazz
Festivals and has also performed in many other venues including an
appearance at 2007 Casablanca Jazz Festival, Rehoboth Beach, Tri C Jazz.
He will tour this summer in conjunction with the release of "2 Grover
With Love."

Jason Miles continues to be one of music's true renaissance and
visionaries moving into the 21st century.
