Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

January 4, 2008 | Vespa Love Festival Sessions

In the can for awhile, but now ready for public consumption, Butch Baldassari breaks new ground with his foray into Smooth Jazz, the Vespa Love Festival Sessions with co-producer and guitarist Frosty Horton. Other than a brief detour into Chrismas music, the JazzMando corporate CD player has been spinning in this CD ever since its arrival.

This is magnificent arranging, production, and supportive playing, and of course everything we'd expect out of Butch. You certainly won't wind any G-chop chords or G-runs, but despite his proficiency with Bluegrass, his reputation for diversity goes one notch wider with this project.

Great stuff, indeed!
