Sending warm greetings to all our friends during these very strange times, hope this finds you well and making the best of, or at least coping with, the various current world and national crises.
At the same time, we're delighted to announce the release of our new CD "The Birthday Sessions", which has been in the works for a few years now. You may have heard some of these tunes on our website or on YouTube already but all of them have now been tweaked, remixed, and mastered for the CD.
Some of the tunes have a primarily Brazilian jazz influence , while others are kind of country. There are a couple of swing tunes and a couple that defy easy categorization. Penny and I played all the instruments and there's lots of chromatic harmonica and pedal steel guitar (my latest musical hobby) as well as some clarinet in addition to our usual array of guitars, basses, and various virtual keyboard and percussion instruments. These are all songs that I wrote. The ones with lyrics were written as birthday presents for Penny. They're personal, from the heart, and in some cases humorous. I'm also delighted that Penny agreed to sing a couple of them (in this sense she's re-gifted them to me).
You can listen to or download the album free of charge or order the CD at the link below. And as of today, the album is available on all the major streaming services.
Listen, download, or order here.
And do check out PT Gazell's wonderful review of the album here.
Peace & Love,
