My newest release, Jim Alfredson’s Dirty Fingers – A Tribute to Big John Patton<\/a>, has arrived from the duplicators. \u00a0It looks really great! \u00a0Designer Rick VanderLeek<\/a> did an amazing job. \u00a0The photographs from Jessica D. Cowles<\/a> are vivid and full of energy.<\/p>\n

The news CDs are here! The new CDs are here!<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m very excited about this release. \u00a0The music is classic 60s soul-jazz with a group of incredible musicians. \u00a0Big John’s compositions and playing are a huge influence on me and he has not received the recognition he is due. \u00a0I hope this releases helps mitigate that a little.<\/p>\n

A match made in heaven.<\/p><\/div>\n

The last step in this process is to duplicate the DVDs, which I am doing locally. \u00a0The DVD is an extra add-on that will be slid into the pocket of the CD package, along with the liner notes. I decided upon this route to save some money. \u00a0Having two trays in the packaging would be expensive and I was also worried about those that didn’t order the DVD seeing that extra tray and assuming something was missing.<\/p>\n

Shipping to all Kickstarter<\/a> backers should be done by the end of the week.<\/p>\n

The CD is already getting airplay around the country. \u00a0Here’s a little taste for those that may have missed it the first time around.<\/p>\n
