W'sup folks! Been SERIOUSLY absent and for that I have to apologize. Been up to a lot, so where do I begin....
Well, first, just got finished recording a BLAZIN' project with my homeboys Don Braden (tenor saxaphone), Gary Foote (electric bass), Karl Latham (drums) and myself on keyboards (no vocals from me on this project). The music is DOPE y'all!! A mix of some deep funk, jazz and drum and bass type ish. We all wrote originals and then did some new spins on some old gems (Jesus Children, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds and a few others). Can't wait for you to hear it!
Also, been working on my latest album which I did with Reuben Rogers (bass), Greg Hutchinson (drums) and myself on keys and vocals. Plus some special guests came thru and put their stamp on a few songs!!! I'll keep you posted on the progress of that too!
The latest update on Bernard and Doris is: it will premier at the Toronto International Film Festival this fall, and then be released on HBO. This is exciting for me because HBO is quite the powerhouse nowdays and will have my first movie in continous rotation. The looooong delay for the movies release was finding a distributor, but in walked HBO and we're ready to roll. For now. Lol!
Been getting lots a inquiries about where/when I'll be playing out again. My focus right now has been on acting and voice-over stuff (OR THE LACK THERE OF!!LOL!), so except for select side-man gigs, I've been laying low. But have no fear!! We're gearing up to hit hard when the new album is done, so stay tuned.
Oh yeah, and for those who wondered what happened with the Japanese deal (Columbia Japan)...let me just say it didn't pan out like they said it would. They got all caught up in when the moive was gonna be released and forgot about my MUSIC!! So, though even my debut single (in Japan) "Movin' On" stayed on the Japanese pop charts for 7 WEEKS, they didn't follow it up with anything else and let the record die. Not happy, but that's the biz. They were hoping to piggy-back on the free promotion the movie would bring and they gambled wrong. The movie's not out yet. Sigh. Ever onward.
Anyway, back on the scene and I'll be dusting off the camera and getting the photo journal poppin' again. Stay tuned for the new website which is under constuction as we speak. Time for a new look!! Holla!!
