EMail: New Danny D'Imperio Music at CD Universe

[BeBop]

I guess I'd bought some D'Imperio LPs at CDUniverse, back in the day. Pretty good ones, in fact. So this message pops up in today's email.

Brought back memories. You know, the kind psychotherapy is supposed to supress. Anyway. DEEP is back with another one. Make of the name what you will: Danny D'Imperio and the Bloviators: Alcohol. Quite a cover photo.

He looks as savory as ever.

Music is likely to be tasty though. and with that title you get this on the CD Universe page:

I think it's the first time I've ever seen Danny without shades on.

The music will no doubt sound much better than the cover looks. I very much enjoy the Danny D'Imperio CD's I own.

Edited to add - the samples sound very good. It's a big band date.

Say what you will about the cover of this new release,

it won't give me the same nightmares that this one did:

Uhhhhh. It still make me shiver.

Anyway, here are the details:

I haven't heard the samples on this one, but I queued up all the D'Imperio I have on my MP3 player, and it is almost consistently good or better. I suppose that's why I bought six albums worth.

[Pete C]

I remember when Hod O'Brien used to run a club in Greenwich Village with Roswell Rudd in the '70s, St. James Infirmary.

Who is QUEEG?

Who is QUEEG?

I don't know. What I want to know is who shtole the shtrawberries?

[Don Brown]

I can't imagine playing bass with a handful of ball bearings.

QUEEG is the late Dave Shapiro.
