NEW CD BLUES AFTER MIDNIGHT- DERWINJONES (JACK&GEOFF)

 

Well, here we are again. Another year!

The end of 2009 saw the creation of a new album with my old mate Geoff Jones.

Here is the inscription inside our cd:

 

“Jack Derwin and Geoff Jones have been making music jointly and separately

for years and years. Time was right to do this and it was fun to make more music again.

It was easy, relaxed…even the frantic bits fell into place. So here it is recorded on Jack’s

equipment at the Baulkham Hills studio (Suite 1) over a few days in 2009.

This has a bunch of new songs, learned just prior to recording, and some favourites of ours

as we do them now. Settle back and hear how we sound live, 2 guitars, 2 harps, 2 vocals and

a stomp box. Acoustic and raw, oh… and a few overdubs like bass, some electric guitar, some

extra vocals, a tiny bit of banjo and congas, via Jack’s lawnmower grass catcher, as well as

some rhythm eggs….aggressively laid back! That will do nicely.”

 

You can hear a few samples from the CD on this site. Samples 5, 8 and 10 are taken off our

new CD. Other samples are a mixture of studio and live recordings over a short and long

term period. They include solo and duo recordings with friends and talented musicians

plus some other stuff with Geoff and “Jack Cat Blues” (the band).

New gig enquiries can be directed to Catherine Aloisio (0418431333)

Catherine is now representing Jack Derwin, and we look forward to a busy year

in 2010. We also will be having a launch, two or three or four for “Blues after Midnight”

Will announce where and when shortly.

Lastly, many thanks to those people who have supported my recovery back to health

from a motorcycle accident in June, 2009. This explains the absence of gigs on the site

the past 6 months. Music mode is about to begin again, stronger and better than ever!

 

Cheers for now,

 

Jack
