CD release

Well it is here! The debut CD of my band BLU7 has finally been completed. "CULTURAL INSTIGATOR" is the name of the CD and it is something all of us are proud of. I think it is a unique concept-that being an adventure through the musical cultures of the world on our jazzplane. We had fun making it and I hope everyone who buys it will have fun listening to it.



The CD is available for purchase at www.jamesbarela.com or www.cdbaby.net. For download it is at www.digstation.com,… Continue

James, very nice recordings buddy. We seem to have quite a few things in common, in regards to Vegas. In my big band I had my "young blood" and friend, Ken Levigne as my up and coming t-bone player and he was in Jump,Jive Wail too, do you know him if so, tell him to contact me. Several of my big band guys have passed on and many are still there in town, including my great sax player, Steve Golden and Matti Saporita?? But glad to see you are keeping GREAT trumpets music going strong there.
