Dan Karlsberg Group "Mission to Mars & Other Short Stories&#34

[dankarlsberg]

I have recently release a new album initially inspired by albums of a few of my favorite musicians (Geri Allen's "The Gathering", McCoy Tyner's "Tender Moments", and everything Andrew Hill). If you are interested in hearing something different you should check it out.

It includes some great musicians: Steve Whipple, bass, and Anthony Lee, drums (I have been playing with them for 7 years now, and we have a unique connection)

The Trombonist Marc Fields toured the world with Ray Charles, and you've never heard a flute player like Sandy Suskind. It also includes two great saxophonists Garin Webb, and Oz Landesberg.

You can check out samples of the songs at CDbaby.

Also here are two clips of the Band: One playing Cedar Walton's Firm Roots, and an original which features Marc Fields on trombone.

I hope you all enjoy!

P.S. I checked with Jim Alfredson if I was allowed to post this topic, and he said it was ok :blush2:

Hi Dan,

I don't know if you'll ever top your arrangement of "Oh! Susanna" from The Adventures of The Dan Karlsberg Group. Classic.

[dankarlsberg]

Thanks Lazaro! I don't know if you got to hear it, but I did another arrangement of "Oh! Susanna", that centered around 3 horn players, that we performed in Blodgett this past summer. It is equally different.

Yes, that one! I heard it live and have the recording in my stash!
