ARCHIVE NEWSLETTER

Hi,
Well it’s that holiday time of the year again.
From now through December it’s party time!

One thing in particular that I’m really excited about this year is that I’ve recorded my first ever Holiday record, “Six String Santa “, AND I’m also playing my first holiday shows as part of  “Have Yourself a Funky Little Christmas”  along with my good friends Warren Hill and Jeff Lorber ( let’s not forget about Ricky Lawson on drums and Smitty Smith on bass!)

That’s kind of what brought this record about. I was thinking about the Christmas songs that I wanted to play in the show. This made me realize how much I really dig these tunes and I thought to myself that I would love to record some of them. I then mentioned it to some musician friends of mine ( I guess I have a lot of friends who are musicians. Like they say, “Birds of a feather......” ) and they all said “Let’s do it !”. Within hours (OK, days) we were in the studio recording and having a blast. Now bear in mind, this was October, most people start working on a
Christmas release months in advance, not WEEKS!, but the inspiration was there so we just kept going for it. Next thing I knew we had a finished CD and I LOVE it!

Now I knew that no matter what, we didn’t have enough lead time to do an official release for this year so this CD won’t actually be in stores until next Christmas, but for those of you who keep in touch through these newsletters and  checking in on the website, we’re doing a limited release available only through jeffgolub.com.

This is the exact same CD that other people will be buying in 2008. You’re just getting it before everyone else.

My friends who I had the pleasure to play with on “Six String Santa” are:
Steve Ferrone - drums
Shawn Pelton  - drums
Lincoln Goines - Acoustic and Electric Bass
Roger Squitero - Percussion
Chris Palmaro - Keyboards
and
Special Guest Warren Hill- Alto Sax

Mixed by Steven Miller
Mastered by Rick Braun 
Cover Art By Greg McKee

I think we came up with some really fun takes on these classic holiday songs. I hope you’ll pick up a copy of “Six String Santa” and let us be part of this year’s Christmas party!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
