TRAVELING like mad :) - February 15, 2008
Happy Valentines Day for 2008 - it's an election year and things are in motion!!
CHECK MY MYSPACE for new songs and video clips from my upcoming CD release, TRAV'LIN (due to launch at the Cape May Jazz Festival).
I'm exhilirated to be headed to Cape May, to Montenegro and Osaka, Japan (all while doing the MASSIVE juggle- two jobs, two kids, a wonderful new love, partner in crime and housemate (Anthony), plus a beautiful brand new granddaughter - Olivia Marie, born on December 30, to son Julius and girlfriend Alexzandra.)
My heart is extremely full and thanks to the good people of NY/NJ/PA, my gig book is filling up too - ain't this is the essence of true jazz? Creativity, survival, and soulful jazz - on the fly!
Keepeing with the spirit of the times, my new CD, TRAV'LIN, is being recorded as we speak, guerilla style - it's the only way to fly! It features a selection of traveling songs - on the road songs, songs signifying movement, in and out, up and down, and growing from one phase into another. I am HONORED that these recordings will feature the brilliance of Mr. Art Hirahara on piano (www.arthirarhara.com), and Philly's one and only Mr. Jason Fraticelli on bass (you'll have to catch him on MYSPACE, ya'll).
OK - gotta travel - stealing time at the ofc to update ma webpage.
Travel on! (Shout out to Alan and Dorothy Ginsberg, Lena, brad and Elena Merrill, Gordon, Red Baloon Studios, Microjazz, Cafe Ole, Kim Aubrey, and all the beautiful children, grownups, faculty and staff at the Trenton Community Music School!
Yours in JAZZ always,
Sue Giles
