So I thought I would update you on my latest CD project...
I'm working on my 3rd solo CD for release early next year. It's going to be a bit different in terms of content and style than my last two. The last two were classified as jazz/smooth jazz/R&B (although, I hate having to classify my music). The 1st CD "The DC Initiative" featured guest vocalist on all of the vocal songs and half were instrumental songs. My 2nd CD, Clifton at Desmond", was mainly instrumental, with 2 vocal songs and me singing one of them.
This time out I'm singing most of the songs with a few guest vocalist on the others and it's going to be mainly vocal songs that I have written.
I haven't titled it yet. I'll still have a few guest vocalists and musicians but it's going to be classified as "Alternative/Soul/Jazz" that's the best guess as to how to categorize it. There will probably be only 3 instrumental Jazz/Latin tunes and the rest will be vocal songs, mainly about love. Love is the theme of the new release.
I will be singing more than ever on this one and playing most of the instruments(as usual). As of today, the guest vocalists & players are Victoria Theodore(from Stevie Wonder's band) & Amy Nix on Keys, Paul Hunt on Lead and Rhythm Guitar, Keni Williams & Brian Abbott on Bass, Joye Carter, J Christopher & Tamara Green on Lead Vocals.
I've had a great time creating this work in progress labor of love.
I am planning on a few more guest artists before this thing is over and will update you as things progress. So far I have 15 songs but haven't yet decided if all or which ones will make the cut. Stay tuned. That's it for now...
