RIVERVIEW CD RELEASE PERFORMANCE @ MASSRY CENTER - SAT 2/7
I'll be celebrating the release of my fourth CD - Riverview (WEPA Records) - with a performance at the College Of St. Rose's Massry Center For The Arts (1002 Madison Ave, Albany, NY) on Saturday, February 7th, 2009. Admission to the 8:00pm performance is $10, or free with a St. Rose student ID.
Riverview is a collection of six original compositions as well as arrangements of Don Grolnick's "The Cost of Living" (originally recorded by saxophonist Michael Brecker) and Billy Strayhorn's classic "Chelsea Bridge." For the February 7th performance I'll be joined by the musicians who perform on the album - NYC guitarist Mike Moreno, Texas-based organist Jesse Chandler and long-time BPQ drummer Danny Whelchel.
