ArtistShare is honored once again to be submitting new releases by Maria Schneider and The Spanish Harlem Orchestra to the 63rd Annual Grammy® Awards.  A huge thank you to all of the ArtistShare® participants who helped bring these amazing projects to life.

Data Lords

Multi-Grammy award winning composer Maria Schneider' latest ArtistShare project "Data Lords" is already being hailed as one of the most important recordings of the decade.

"the most daring work of Schneider's career, which sets the bar imposingly high" ~ NPR

"as profound as modern-day instrumental music gets." ~ Minneapolis Star Tribune

The project explores two opposing worlds, the digital world and the natural world each represented on a full length CD.

"One could say these two worlds represent: digital/analog, virtual/real, inorganic/organic, yin/yang, or a loss-of-self/recovery-of-self. All I know is that I’m searching for sonic beauty in all of it, as well as searching for my own sense of balance between these two opposing worlds." - Maria Schneider

Data Lords is being considered for Best Large Jazz Ensemble recording and for the Instrumental Composition "Sputnik".
