North Star Jazz & CommonGround

The North Star Jazz Ensemble was the 'House Band' for North Star Music, 
a Rhode Island based recording company from 1985 to 2011.  The group, built around the silky sound of saxophonist Bruce Abbott supported by the solid rhythm section of Ron Fournier on piano, Marty Ballou on bass and 
Paul Mason on drums – along with many distinguished guests –  recorded 
a dozen CDs for the label.  Check out our new video North Star Jazz with strings.

With the addition of guitarist Peter Calo (Carly Simon, Linda Eder, New York Voices) we formed CommonGround and produced recordings in a contemporary jazz style.

A changing music marketplace has created a new opportunity for us, and we are excited and proud to have acquired the catalog from North Star Music.

This is the new online home for purchasing our North Star Jazz Ensemble and CommonGround albums.
