I think we might have missed the deadline to get any press for our cd release party this Wednesday night, the night before T-Day. We plan to order some pizza from Nino’s, give away some cds and show movies behind the band on the big projector in the VIP lounge, upstairs at Abilene. It’s a Happy Hour affair so it starts early at 5pm and only goes til 7:30 and it’s free. Jack Schaeffer is going to join us on guitar and bass clarinet.
The cd features all new material and was recorded over a four year period at various Rochester venues (Little Theater Cafe, Bug Jar, RIT, Flat Iron Cafe and Bop Shop). Guest artists include Pete LaBonne, Jack Schaefer, Phil Marshall and Charles Jaffe. We are really excited about this one because you can hear the expresso machine and the small crowd chatting while we play. At least that’s my favorite part.
We have been fine tuning this act of creating songs on the spot and after ten years we can pull this off for most of the night as long as we don’t try too hard. It requires some long pauses between songs so we can clear the air. We edited those out.
“Live Dive” is all new material recorded over a four year period at various Rochester venues including Little Theater Cafe, Bug Jar, RIT, Flat Iron Cafe and Bop Shop. Guest artists include Pete LaBonne, Jack Schaefer, Phil Marshall and Charles Jaffe. And I can hear Maureen talking to Bill and Geri on a few tunes.
