Lady Antebellum, Jason Aldean & The Nashville 2008 Xmas Trip!

Well, I just got back from a fantaaaaastic Christmas trip to Nashville staying with great friends Mica Fisher & Nate Tschetter, where we wrote and recorded two brand new tunes " 10 Below Zero" ( A Christmas ballad) and "Simply Fabulous" a retro soul/disco anthem a la Brand New Heavies/Robin Thicke!

I have to say the trip did not exactly all go precisely as planned and there were definitely some big disappointments from absent friends, but this is not the place to delve into that. The positive side, was that amongst old friends we drank the best of Tennessee wines & whiskey ( Arrington Winery & Fireball Cinammon Whiskey)

Dave Hughes, bass player extraordinaire from the David Benoit band took a break to drop in mid tour for Nate's 40th birthday party!

After many excellent Brentwood neighborhood parties and meeting some fantastic friendly people including Jason Aldean, and Kevin his talent live tour manager, I am finally back in the warmth of California. The buzz in Nashville this year was all about the wonderful male/female vocal led Lady Antebellum...so here's a little sampling of what they are all about. Great vocals, songwriting and musicianship.

Justice & Vitalic - The French Rocktronika invasion

There's a new harder and edgier "rock n roll" electronica moving into the mainstream and making the trip across the Atlantic from Europe to the US. Justice & Vitalic, both hailing from France, represent a potent synergy of mashed-up beats/nasty synths and razored guitars. It's club music but is more infused with the spirit of rock n roll than even the most progressive forms of house or trance.

Hiromi Uehara - Modern Jazz Piano & Keyboard Superstar

I recently had the pleasure of seeing the incredible Hiromi live at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz, CA (a fantastic community non-profit jazz club even by worldwide big-city standards) where I am a member and have sponsored several fantastic shows over recent years including Pat Metheny with Keyfax New Media. Bobbi Todaro does an awesome job gathering the very best talent to add Kuumbwa to their west coast US tour schedules.

She really is one of the new great modern keyboard talents equally artistically comfortable and fluid on piano or synthesizer. Check out her new album "Beyond Standard" or the "Spiral" CD with Bonus DVD from 2007.
