“Chinese Trumpet Flowers”
(1999)
45.5 cm x 53 cm gouache on canvas
These flowers bloom in the heat,
on vines everywhere...
I recently bought the new reunion "Crusaders" CD; "Rural Renewal".
I like it.
I have always liked the "Jazz Crusaders" so when I saw this CD, I was glad.
It has that signature "Crusaders" sound; tight and funky- with a mellow, seasoned, tempered feel about it-
If I had a car, I would think this a great CD to listen to while driving...
Joe Sample is as happenin' as always, along with Wilton Felder, Stix Hooper, Freddie Washington, Steve Baxter, Dean Parker, & Lenny Castro.
Ray Parker Jr., Arthur Adams, and Eric Clapton do some guest tracks...
On my gig at "J" August 8, Friday,
I will be singing with trio;
piano, guitar and bass,
with a few new tunes and arrangements...
Stay tuned for more details...
Roll out those lazy, hazy , crazy days of summer.
