Ana Popovic, Unconditional (album) I just wish she played the ukulele

I thought the jewel thief Kool Kat was appropriate with all the jewel heists in the last few weeks.

The Rippingtons, Black Diamond (album)

Carlos Garnett, Cosmos Nucleus (album)

Laufey, Everything I Know About Love (album)

Ed Partyka, Arrangements and Compositions for Jazz Orchestra was released on October 3, 2025. "Indeed, the epic opener “Do As I Say … (Not As I Do),” a Partyka original, wears the Brookmeyer influence — and perhaps that of another Brookmeyer protégé, Darcy James Argue — proudly on its sleeve. A lesser craftsman would make that his manifesto and the mold for the entire album’s worth of material. But Partyka, born and raised in Chicago but now resident in Graz, Austria, has too much range, and too many high-caliber collaborators (17 great players from across Europe), to let it go at that. He immediately offsets “Do As I Say” with an enchanting, breezy Latin orchestration of Charlie Parker’s “Klactoveedsedstene” that shows how deeply he knows his stuff."

Lauren Scales, Many Rivers was released on July 25, 2025 "Many Rivers is the effervescent trio debut from vocalist Lauren Scales, saxophonist Mike Flanagan, and pianist Chris Grasso — three acclaimed artists from divergent backgrounds united by creative chemistry. Due August 8 on Truth Revolution Recording Collective, the album features a soul-stirring program of seven covers and two originals by Scales, brought to life with support from Grammy-winning bassist Luques Curtis and first-call drummers Richie Barshay and Grammy-nominee Charles" You can read the rest of the review here...

Thom Rotella, Right Time Left was released on September 26, 2025. "Rotella offers a collection that’s as soulful as it is sophisticated—a record that balances groove, intimacy, and artistry in equal measure. Rotella’s career includes collaborations with Norah Jones, Seth MacFarlane, Diane Schuur, and the legendary Stanley Turrentine. He has carved out a reputation as a versatile guitarist who can deliver across genres while always sounding unmistakably himself. With Right Time Left, he returns to the forefront, building on the success of his 2019 Savant release Side Hustle while pushing into fresh creative territory. The album thrives on the interplay between Rotella and his top-shelf collaborators:" You can read the rest of the review here...

Jerry Weldon, The Summit was released on October 10, 2025. "While the group swings hard at every turn, there are only two bona fide flag-wavers on the menu: Gryce's fiery opener, "Minority," and Shorter's scrappy "Summit." Demetrius solos first on each one, followed by Weldon, Bond and Intorre on "Minority," Weldon, Lin, Bond and Intorre on "The Summit." Weldon wrote the carefree bossa "Sunny V" for his wife, Virginia Deberry, and the steadily walking "Damon's Day," on which he solos with Demetrius and Clotter."

Seth Mason, A Breath of Fresh Air was released on October 24, 2025. "At just 26, Mason is already being hailed as one of the leading pianists, composers, and producers of his generation. A Grammy nominee and the recipient of both the Bessie and Bistro Awards, he has carved out a reputation not simply as a virtuoso, but as a thinker, someone for whom rhythm, melody, and dramaturgy form an inseparable whole. His debut album, The Southern Suite (2023), earned wide critical acclaim, announcing the arrival of a pianist who could command tradition while writing a new chapter in its story. In his short career, Mason has already collaborated with Grammy-winning artists, appeared on a Netflix soundtrack, and built an ensemble presence that places him firmly in the lineage of great bandleaders."

Hi Travis and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us! So, what Carver gear does your father have? Are you planning on restoring that gear, or do you plan on having someone else do it? We have a lot of information in our database, many service manuals, but it's not complete. Several members run across documents we don't have and graciously submit them. If we have what you need, it's completely free, you don't even have to ask.

Hi ChrisACX, and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us. I did a google search for the procedure, and most of what I found was some guy using your same name asking that question in a few places. We don't have the service manual for the TGP 401 in our database, and it may not be available anywhere. I did find this procedure for a TGP 3 listed on manualslib.com: -- Press the power button to turn the unit off, or turn it off from the wall for a moment. Press and continue to hold down the front panel Power button and the Tone DOWN button at the same time. The TGR-3 will power on and cycle through the display. Keep holding the buttons down until "Resetting to Factory Defaults" appears in the front panel display When the TGR-3 has been reset, it will shut off. Turn the TGR-3 back on and it will go to the default screen. It has now been reset. -- https://www.manualslib.com/manual/973076/Sunfire-Tgr-3.html?page=54 The procedure may, or may not, be similar for the TGP 401. I hope that helps.
