9 Star Media

We’re Back! It’s great to see you again.

Welcome to the new and improved 9 Star Media!

If you tried to visit us over the last couple of months, you found us missing, and I want you to hear the reason directly from me. We weren’t hacked, your data is safe, and we didn’t go out of business. What did happen, though, is that our hosting server suffered a catastrophic failure that destroyed our websites, the files behind them and our backups, all at once and without warning.

What mattered most came through untouched. Our databases, including your account, your order history and everything you have purchased, were preserved completely intact, and at no point was any of your personal information exposed.

Since then we have rebuilt 9 Star Media from the ground up: new home, new foundations, faster and more secure than before. Through every long night of that work, I kept thinking about the artists whose music and films we carry, and about you, the people who make this community what it is.

Thank you for your patience, and for coming back. It means everything.

Over the coming months you will see changes and improvements across the site, and they all have one aim: to make every visit uplifting, and to keep bringing you back for new music, films and stories that inspire.

If anything from a past purchase isn’t where it should be, please don’t worry and don’t go without it. Contact us, tell us what you’re looking for, and we will get back to you as soon as we possibly can to make it right.

With heartfelt gratitude and great hope for what’s ahead,

Jon

"Messages From The New World" is an album of original music performed by a stellar cast of musicians. The lyrics of the songs consist of excerpts from the Baha'i Writings or original words inspired by Baha'i themes. Musically "Messages" draws from the rich palette of classic jazz, including the New Orleans feel of "Collin's Gate Strut," Bossa Nova inspired songs such as "Many Notes Samba" and "Infinite Love," the funky, soulful sounds of classic Hard Bop on "Nightingale Wail," and much more.

Lukas Hein, the catalyst of the project, is a jazz saxophonist from the Pacific Northwest who has lived, performed and taught throughout the globe. Highlights of his musical life include earning a Master’s Degree from Western Oregon University, recording a Bossa Nova album in Rio de Janeiro with the outstanding Brazilian jazz trio "Dialeto Brasileiro," and teaching for several years in the Caribbean at the St Lucia School of Music.

"Messages" pairs the matchless beauty of the Baha'i Revelation with the eloquent musical language of jazz - an art form born of the synthesis of diverse musical cultures. It aspires to bring joy to the heart, inspire singing and dancing, and induce prayerful contemplation.
