Hey everyone -
I'm pleased to announce that I'm releasing a new CD in a couple weeks, and you can pre-order it today. You can listen to all the songs here: http://goo.gl/OWShN
The band is my ten-piece group, the Solomon Douglas Swingtet, featuring some amazing musicians including Kim Massie on vocals, Bria Skonberg on trumpet, D'Vonne Lewis on drums, Pete Petersen on tenor sax. If you've heard my Swingtet in the past, be prepared for a surprise, because this project is totally different from anything we've done before. It's all soul and R&B and blues music, with lots of Aretha Franklin songs, in addition to songs by Nina Simone, Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, Etta James, and others. The song selection is targeted toward blues dancers (though you'll find three songs with tempos that work for groovy Lindy Hop).
The release date is July 15th. Please go to http://goo.gl/OWShN to order your copy right now!
