MY CD "THE DEAD MAN" NAMED "RECORD OF THE YEAR" IN JAZZIZ MAGAZINE!!!
Dear friends,
Just a quick note to let you know that my most recent CD, entitled "The Dead Man" was named "BEST CD OF THE YEAR" in Jazziz Magazine. Thinking about my dear friend Keith Puccinelli who passed about a month ago, and whose amazing artwork is featured on the CD cover.
Also, I am already working on two other vocal recording projects: one CD entitled "The Infinite Dream", featuring singer Lois Mahalia (Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, etc) singing songs in English, and another one with songs in Spanish featuring Mexican singer Magos Herrera. Thank you all for your support and your friendship and Happy Holidays! Luis
