Press Release Body: Atlanta, GA, May 31, 2008 -- Atlanta's brilliant trumpeter, Joey
Sommerville has signed with Three Keys Music, headed by Marcus Johnson and
distributed by Koch Distribution. Joey's latest album, Like You Mean It will be
released worldwide on May 12th. The CD's title track is an infectious Latin flavored
party jam that has rocketed up to become the second most-added song to jazz station
playlists nationwide. The song made waves high on the Indie jazz chart, catching the
attention of industry insiders including Johnson. He considers Sommerville to be
incredibly talented, humble and a hardworking pro. \"Joey is a great musician and he
understands the new music business model. His talent, tremendous work ethic and
drive have allowed him to create a truly incredible album,\" said Johnson.

\"Like You Mean It\" is more than a title, it is a philosophy and code of conduct.
\"Whatever you do, do it like you mean it!\" says the artist. The album is a labor of
love that is both passionate and a whole lot of fun at the same time. Notable
collaborators include Wayman Tisdale on the Average White Band classic, \"School Boy
Crush\"; Mike Phillips playing his heart out on the quiet storm ready instrumental
version of Floetry\'s \"Say Yes\"; Marion Meadows lending his signature sax sound to
\"Follow Me\" and Phil Perry going where no other vocalist can go on \"Reflections\".
Other standout songs include \"Johannesburg\" which was recorded in part in
Johannesburg with South African musicians and singers and \"I Want You Back\", a fresh
read on The Jackson 5 classic.

Atlanta's Smooth Jazz 107.5 WJZZ has placed "Like You Mean It" in heavy radio
rotation; they broadcast Joey's live performances every Thursday night at Sambuca
Jazz Café. Each week features a special guest performer from a rotating list of jazz
giants. Past guests include internationally celebrated artists such as the legendary
Ronnie Laws, Wayman Tisdale, Marion Meadows, Mike Phillips, Eric Marienthal, Paul
Taylor, Peabo Bryson, and keyboard legend and producer Jeff Lorber.

As part of his release celebration, Joey is traveling to Washington D.C. to perform
several appearances as a special guest of Marcus Johnson. Visit his website
