New recording on Doug MacDonald's "Fourth Stream"

My incredibly talented friend, guitarist Doug MacDonald, gave me the honor of singing a track on his latest release, "Fourth Stream". This was recorded early this summer and I just got a copy of the CD. The CD is an incredible complilation of original material with jazz and blues standards. A jazz rhythm section (formed by Doug, Jack LeCompte, Harvey Neumark, and Jimmy Dykes) is surrounded by a horn section and a 15-member string section.

I was asked to sing on the jazz standard "Invitation" (one of my favorite tunes since I heard Rosemarie Clooney's version on a Nelson Riddle arrangement). Doug arranged the tune as a bossa, and he left out the strings for this cut. Enjoy...

Performing in CA Wine Country

Dad and I took to the road with Mom and David and headed up north to CA wine country, where we sang at the Alchemy Wine Bar, in the charming town of Murphys. We met some wonderful locals, the owners of Tanner Winery across the street, and a few fellow travelers. We were treated to fabulous wine and food, and it was the perfect warm-up for our show at Vitello's in LA on July 28. The restaurant and bar were completely full 1/2 hour into our set, and the owner said we are welcome back any time we like. Enjoy the photos!
