"Cookin At The Continental?" My goodness...they are swingin hard. Beautiful
touch at the piano and eighth note phrasing. I forgot how much I liked that
tune. >>>


Another fine release on a Metro Denver label with Front Range musicians,
master bassist Ken Walker and swingin' drummer Tood Reid on Bailey,
Colorado's Capri Records. Chi was an instructor at Colorado university at
Boulder for several years before moving to southern Illinois, he amazed us
one afternoon with his live performance at our Oasis Performance Studio
about 2 years ago. Look for 2 fine new releases coming soon on Capri,
pianists Andy Nevala and the Jeff Jenkins led Cique(sick). Colorado's other
labels, Jazzed Media and Jazz Excursions have also released some exquisite
recordings this year as have Denver artists on their own indy labels led by
the recent René Marie Cd which I had René service many of you. Look for 2
new indy releases sure to find a place on your playlists, guitarist Charles
Gatschet and vocalist Wendy Fopeano coming to your desk soon.
