Hello World! I figured it was about time to let you all hear some of mysongs. This catalog ranges from 1985 to the present in terms of dates the songs were written, although these tracks were produced between January of 2008 and May of 2009. But seriously folks, ain’t nothin’ but a groove or two. I hope you dig it. I did all the recording, mixing and producing, and I pretty much wrote all the songs, but I had a little help from some friends, starting with the incomparable Jesse Jones Jr. on saxophones and flutes, giving this work a bit of class. Then you have the highly creative vocalist Elisa Sintjago, who really learned the material inside and out, and made it her own. Spice that up with Dennis Sierra’s funky guitar chops, some stinging solos by Derek Mason, and Joe Collado’s masterful percussion chops on “Make No Mistake”, and we all finally overcame our “Stratus-Fear” when Mr. Bigfoot Larry Hirt stomped the drums and Jimi Ruccolo burned the guitar. The creation of this CD has been a journey of discovery from start to finish. But it has paved the way for lots of new creations up and coming. To get all the details, please visit my websites: Thanks for checking me out. RESPECT :: PEACE, h. 2009.07.01 | |
