Our new album Ahora Entras Tu is here! We’re so glad to be able to share this suite of new piano songs and piano/cello songs with you.
The album contains nine songs and four short poems and is downloadable and streamable from Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, YouTube, Spotify, and other music web sites! We will soon be getting our shipment of the actual CDs to send to community radio stations in hope of getting some airplay, and to dispense to friends who still have CD players.
We began the recording process last year when Peter Temple came to the house and recorded me playing the piano tracks on my Yamaha U7, an excellent upright piano I bought new in 1980 and have babied for forty-five years. I then went into the studio and added vocals to three of the eight tunes and gave those eight tunes to Marcia. She listened to them for some weeks and decided on four of the tunes she wanted to compose cello parts for.
When she was happy with what she’d created, we went into the studio and she recorded her parts. Then we lived with those renditions for a time, she made changes and additions in subsequent studio visits, and… voila!
As I prepare to send copies of the album to radio DJs, I’m calling the music Jazz with a Latin feel, though the music isn’t traditional Jazz. These tunes are melodic inventions, several of them Latinesque, as their names imply. And one groovacious blues.
We hope you’ll take a listen.
Blessings and Thanks!
Todd & Marcia
