BLUESNOST 3:10 -- Downlowd* to iTunes > iPod/iPhone - 2.9 MB, MP3

The title is a play on two words -- Blues and Glasnost... It was my humble tribute to Blues March, which is a legendary Jazz composition by the great Benny Golson, made famous by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers...

CURESELF 2:44  -- Downlowd* to iTunes > iPod/iPhone - 2.5 MB, MP3

The Title is a play on two words -- Cure and Self, except, instead of the commonly used expression, Self-cure, I reversed the order, and made those two words into one, which kind of makes it into a homonym to words Carusel..., or Curse Self...

Musically speaking, this composition was inspired the great Horace Silver. And the title came to me as I was driving, and heard Horace's interview on one of these two, WBGO or WKCR, New York City area Jazz Radio Stations. Horace was talking about self-reliance, in the context of Jazz artists having to look out for themselves, so not to rely on the record companies for recording contractsand other career developement factors... It was mind-blowing for me to realize that even a giant, such as HORACE SILVER could have issues like that!!!...

MUSICIANS: Ron Horton, trumpet; Mike Holober, piano; Chuck Bergeron, bass; Dick Weller, drums

During these sessions I also learnt that it's not easy to play a perfect solo and be a recording engineer at the same time, live on the fly... , but I did learn a few things about using my recording studio...
