It's
About Time
Joe
Diorio is a one of a kind. This man's playing is on a level
few musicians ever hope to reach. Set up together in a large
room, in a circle, with the tape running continually, we recorded
for two full days. With Dom Moio playing beautiful brushes,
you could hear everything Joe was doing. Occasionally, Sid Jacobs
or Bill Moio would join the trio. Nineteen tunes later, it was
a take. This was one of the best Jazz sessions I have ever been
a part of. I feel honored to have been able to record with such
outstanding musicians. And of course, Joe Diorio is a living
legend. Watch for the soon-to-be-released CD(s) titled It's
About Time.

 Afrizona
Afrizona
is the title of the CD released from this recording session.
You really will not believe the unique style of Lionel Loueke's
playing until you hear it. Lionel is surely a force on the contemporary
music scene today. The first day of recording we heard the trio
of Lionel, Dom, and myself. The second day we were joined in
the studio by outstanding bassist, Rob Gourlay. The African
influence in Lionel's playing is strongly felt throughout the
session with diverse and powerful rhythms. I
assure you, Afrizona will be HOT!!!

 Below
C Level
The
first recording session of Below C Level was
really awesome. Sam Palifian and Dom Moio are outstanding
musicians who totally captured the spirit of the project.
A full day of recording resulted in seven complete songs.
These tunes run the gamut of styles, including an arrangement
of Marcus Miller's Power, High Summer (original up-tempo
Latin), Sam's blockbuster, The Bass History Channel, and Stinnett's
Outback, which is an Aboriginal chant. Anticipated
release for this CD is late summer.

| Rob
Gourlay and I are working on material for a new Book/CD project
titled Two Low. This will be a recording of duos,
trios, and quartets for bass. All the music will be transcribed
and published in an accompanying book. Featured on the CD will
be Rob's new Rob Allen five string bass (with high C string).
