First of all I want to remind everyone that Friday at 6:30pm est Gabriel Alegria will be on Univision. It will be something you won't want to miss.
I met Ernesto Hermoza, Saponegros Newest artist, today, and I got a chance to hear his CD. It's really cool! Ernesto is an incredible Spanish style guitarist who plays jazz songs, and incorporates Afro-Peruvian percussive beats from the cajon, cajita, and quijada. It is incredible to hear the blend of these three distinct musical styles come together and form something totally unique. Ernesto signed yesterday and he should start recording soon, so keep your eyes open for any update.
I have posted a video on youtube.com of yellowjacket's pianist Russell Ferrante's solo on Gabriel Alegria's Nuevo Mundo CD. The video was made during a recording session LA's famous Stagg St. Studios. Both Gabriel and Bobby Shew are in the background of the video and the solo is amazing. Click here to go to youtube to see the video.
