Tokyo #9
After three studio albums, we are stoked to announce a trilogy of LIVE recordings from Frank Catalano and Jimmy Chamberlin. A chronicle of recent tours in Japan, Chicago, and New York, the trilogy leads off with Tokyo Number 9, with selections from eight concerts in Tokyo. The raw energy of the shows and interaction between the audience is hard to describe but easy to feel. Tokyo Number 9 is not only a document of these players in top form, but of the energizing power of live performance in our lives. The lineup is Frank Catalano on saxophone, Jimmy Chamberlin on drums, Vic Juris on guitar, Theo Hill on piano, and Stacy McMichael on bass. The art is a fascinating piece from Chicago's Tony Fitzpatrick, in and of itself worth the ticket price. Drop in here to to listen and preorder. .
Featured Artist | Akashic Record
Holding it down in Boston for over ten years, Akashic Record returns with their second Ropeadope release - Big Bang - set to hit Friday May 5th. Big Bang continues the organ driven funk and soul sound that the band delivers with perfection. Brian Thomas on the trombone, Jared Sims on Baritone Sax, Steve Fell on Guitar, Peter MaClean on Drums, Darby Wolf on Piano, and of course Sam Gilman on the Organ. This is classic groove, tight and funky, just polished a little with plenty of grit. Dig it.
