Changes in the release schedule for FROLIC IN THE LAND OF PLENTY

I would think that most of you who read this are saying "well, why in heck isn't Paul's album out yet?"
Well-I'll tell you. I'm very sorry for this but I decided to release my record with a record label rather than
putting it out myself. Haroun-the master mixer who has been juggling three and four projects all year in addition
to my project-has been hired to do a 'real job' in the big city where he will be paid finally what he is worth or close.

As this has put some time constraints on what he can mix for FROLIC, I've decided that while Haroun is mixing half
the album- Joel Hamilton is mixing the other half in Brooklyn. After figuring this out and realizing that my way-gone release date of June just wouldn't be salvaged as we enter September-I thought that perhaps there's a cool label that would release the record and do some of the promotional stuff for the release that I just am not good at. I play music-I'm not such a good self-promoter. It's hard to call someone up and have to say "Yes!! I'M GREAT!! YOU WANT ME!! I'M BADASS!!" It just doesn't sound good. So- Abstract Logix will release the album on their own label. Check out the link and you'll see (if you don't know them already) what this label is about. The album is tentatively scheduled for a March 2008 release.

I know that March is a LONG ways away. What I can tell you (to make it just a little better) is that I've started a completely different project with nylon-stringed guitarist Steve Erquiaga (Andy Narell, Joe Henderson, Bobby McFerrin). There will be soon a site for this group complete with music snippets and possibly some video in the coming months. It is such a pleasure working with Steve-we really compliment each other. I'll keep you posted very soon on this new exciting group! Bye now.

    Hey Paul,
    Silly me! Of course I don't have your CD yet. I shall patiently await.

      Hey Trick-again, I'm sorry this is taking so long! It will be worth the wait, I just got the mixes of the tunes Dennis Chambers plays on back and it's ridiculous. I had Joel Hamilton (Soulive, Elvis Costello, Mike Patton, Bernie Worrell, Ludacris) mix this part of the album. He's a indie rock/creative music engineer out of Brooklyn and his take on this was just great. I hope to be able to get around more once this album is out and possibly interact with the musicians you mentioned before when things get going.
