WORLD PREMIERE! - "Lou's Blues". Robert's New Single. "Fantastic!" (Mark Egan - Pat Metheny Group/Elements). "Digging It!" (Peter Erskine - Weather Report)!
Episode Notes
This episode is the WORLD PREMIERE of “Lou’s Blues”, my new single.
As I've mentioned several times on the podcast, I came of age musically during the British Invasion era of the 1960s, and then I segued into the Jazz Fusion era of the 1970s. That era was dominated by incredible bands like Weather Report, Return To Forever and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. My band, Sagov, was a part of that scene.
What I loved about jazz fusion era was how it combined the power of rock with the sophistication and improvisation of jazz. “Lou’s Blues” is inspired by that era. I call it a tone poem. It’s a musical journey. I wrote it in the recording studio and we did it in one take.
Mark Egan, acclaimed bassist with the Pat Metheny Group, Elements and Gil Evans, calls the track “Fantastic! Great playing and production!” Peter Erskine, Superstar drummer with Weather Report, says “Digging It!”
The track features my band, Project Grand Slam, consisting of Tristan Clark on guitar, Baden Goyo on keyboards, Joel E. Mateo on drums, Guillermo Barron on percussion, and me on bass. The producer is Tony Carey, singer-songwriter and keyboard genius.
“Lou’s Blues” is available for streaming on all the streaming platforms.
