I must apologise for my slackness in keeping this blog regular! I promise to be more onto it...

This last weekend, Grand Central Band was playing in Tauranga, as part of the Easter Jazz Festival. We had a great time - good crowds and the band were really firing. Sold heaps of CDs too. Some pics are on the Grand Central Band page (scroll along the pic viewer - the last 4 pics are the ones).

We are looking at getting into the studio soon for another album. On that front, a new Blue Train album hasn't disappeared, but it has been hard to get everyone together for rehearsals. I hope to record SOMETHING decent this year!!

I also am very keen on doing a Hammond trio project - just Hammond Organ, drums & guitar but in a soul/funk/jazz style. This 'sound' is back in vogue right now, so it's a good time to get it happening. Shouldn't take much - I just need to write a bunch of tunes, and then we can get into the studios at MAINZ (where I teach). Maybe, hopefully ALSO this year!!!
