This project was recorded on three different studios on two continents, and a LOT of people worked very hard to get this music out there!

Many thanks to Vishal and Ujwal Nagar, master musicians in Delhi, India, and HINT-TV Studios there, and Engineers Karn Mukherjee and Dhiman Bhattacharya. Thanks in the USA to Scott Ross of Elliot Bay Studios, Martin Buff at The Piano Studio, and Michel Tyabji of Studio Makuti in LA!

BIG THANKS to all the musicians who are listed in "Band Members" section, and I especially want to acknowledge the contribution of Saxophonist Mike Deasy Jr, who labored hard for this project writing and recording horn arrangements, but unfortunately passed away last December, before it was finished.

Here's the projects I am currently involved in and what's going on with them:

Alex Kajumulo (aka Babukaju)
we are playing at the Bellevue Community College on April 20th, a
Monday, at 10pm. We seem to be getting a lot of airplay on college
stations around the world. We will also be in Olympia at the 4th Ave Pub
again on May 30th where we played a packed house last month. Be there
for the live concert video we will make. July will see us headlining at
the Black Community Festival at Judkins Park in Seattle.
He has music on the Alex Kajumulo myspace page where he has passed the 700,000 listeners mark. The song "Global Warming" seems to be attracting attention as well.

I rehearse and gig occasionally with Martin NTerry's soul reggae group. He is also working on some international promo here, in Europe, and Africa.

I
have started to be the keyboardist every Friday night at the Ocean City
Ballroom in Chinatown, part of the Ocean City Restaurant enterprise. I
back the well-known Chinese singers Shanel and Yadong. Come prepared
for some international ballroom-style dancing and great Chinese
entrees. The ballroom usually is filled. We start 7:30pm

And I have the Sunday night jazz/world jam session at the Navya Lounge in Seattle's famous Rainier Square center. We start at 7:30pm.

Those are the things I occupy my music time with these days.
