Remarkable. Infectious. Soulful. Just some of the words critics have used to describe Stop Time, the latest album by singer, songwriter and pianist Jon Regen.
Produced by Mitchell Froom (Crowded House, Paul McCartney), and featuring Davey Faragher and Pete Thomas from Elvis Costello and the Imposters, Stop Time finds Regen at the peak of his songwriting and pianistic powers, with ten original tunes that brim with humor and heart.
A protégé of the legendary pianist Kenny Barron, Jon Regen began his career as a sideman to jazz artists like Kyle Eastwood and Little Jimmy Scott. After releasing a series of instrumental jazz recordings, Regenmade an abrupt left turn and released the acclaimed singer/songwriter albums Almost Home, Let It Go and Revolution, featuring contributions from artists like Andy Summers of the Police, Benmont Tench from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty. Regen also hit Number One on the Billboard Charts with his 2013 instrumental album Change Your Mind.
Regen is currently working on a new album for Ropeadope Records and will preview songs from the new project at Scullers. He will be joined by a dynamic New York band featuring Nir Felder (Keyon Harrold) on guitar, Fima Ephron (Chris Potter, Meshell Ndegeocello) on bass, and Joe Strasser (Kyle Eastwood) on drums.
“Regen‘s warm, smoky voice is perfectly suited to the wry, piano-based music he writes, borrowing from the likes of Mose Allison, Randy Newman and Elvis Costello.”

“These songs are made for the repeat button.”
