Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

Imagine our thrill, Djangos Cadillac working with guest artist Joe Craven in an upcoming CD release in their second project, "New Wheels". Mandolinist Kerry Williams, our tag of "Cleanest Picker of the West" also sports a lovely Arrow "Jazzbo" crafted by fellow Oregonian Super Luthier, Paul Lestock, and we are waiting with anticipation for our copy of this audio meeting of the two Western superpowers of jazz mandolin.

We hope to have a full review soon, but until then, this from their press release:

"The Northwest's own "Contemporary-Vintage Acoustic Gypsy Jazz Swing Band" - Djangos Cadillac is proud to announce the release of their second CD, titled Djangos Cadillac, New Wheels. This release is a long cool smoky tall drink of water and major evolution from the sweet and swanky self titled original cd release in 2003.

The dimensional song list includes the original opening track, Formosa Please, the deeply groovin' classic Dave Brubeck's Blue Rondo & closes out with Harold Arlen's Somewhere Over the Rainbow Cadillac style. Along with special guest artist, Joe Craven working his percussion magic this CD will have you cruising down the feel good music highway in style. This new CD is a great indication of this group's symbiotic groove and large lust for fun & meaty tunes! (Joe is playing on June 24th at the Family Concert Series)

Join Djangos Cadillac and Joe Craven at their Hood River CD release party at River City Salloon June 22nd 8:00pm. The following night is the big city Portland CD release party to be held at Mississippi Studios is the following night June 23rd at 7:30PM."

CD's will soon be available on line at CD Baby & djangoscadillac.com.

Gentlemen - start your CD players!
