Dear Music friends,
Finally, a little bit of spring and already I have enjoyed fabulous moments this anniversary year with splendid performances in the US and Thailand--see a short JAZZKIA + impression at Krabi Naga Festival via youtu.be
We are now busy with pre-production of new songs to record while in America and soon over in Amsterdam in preparation for the November 1st-planned release of--at last--a new CD / streaming (and possibly vinyl?). We'll also be busy with the necessary preparations for series of Duo Laroo/Byrd performances with local musicians in Burundi around and during King's Day : see my agenda .
In between, Warren and I were the subjects of a short but fun documentary:
Jazzy Matrimony - A Short Documentary
I recently recorded "Rooftop Conversations" with Oded Nir, it was released last month and the reactions are positive! Maybe my newsletter readers may also think it's a nice song so I like to share it: https://www.traxsource.com/track/6113163/rooftop-conversations-original-mix
