Pete Gitlin

Born: August 16, 1949

Pete Gitlin is a guitar player, bassist and composer who is creating a new kind of jazz...part smooth, part contemporary, part funk, part rock...call it alt jazz. With such varied influences as Pat Metheny and Miles Davis, Lee Ritenour and Larry Carlton, the Beatles and Steely Dan, Pete looks beyond the labels attached to musical styles while searching for the passion and melody behind his own unique music. Having played in rock, fusion, and funk bands in his teens and twenties, Pete took a break from his musical career to raise his family, achieving high levels of success in the technology world as a Vice President at a Fortune 500 company. But in April of 2007 he decided to take the plunge and devote 100% of his time to writing and performing. Through a series of magical events he met drummer and producer John Herrera from the legendary Phoenix band Turning Point. John heard the potential in Pete's music, and a collaborative effort began. The result of this partnership is "Full Circle and the Great Temptation"--featuring Pete's stellar guitar work ably supported by respected jazz musicians Jeff Kashiwa from the Grammy award-winning smooth jazz band The Rippingtons on sax, Mel Brown (Wayman Tisdale and Eric Darius) on bass, Michael Broening (Grammy award winner with George Benson and Al Jarreau) on keyboards, Dominic Amato on sax, and of course John Herrera on drums and percussion. Also participating in the project are vocalist and pianist Rachel Eckroth on the adult contemporary radio ready "Golden Love Light" and vocalist Jodi Light on the smooth and refreshing "Sunshine Days", as well as pedal steel guitar maestro Mike Smith on the brilliant "Sunrise".

Robert Falk

Born: September 22, 1953

I was born in Paris but soon moved to Brussels.

I started to play folk-music, then jazz-rock before I got interested in computer-aided musical composition.

I played in several bands in the 80's such as 'Spring' (with (Michel Delory and François Garny), Falklands (with Alain Rochette and Sam Mc Kinney), etc.

A trip to Zaire in 1989 gave me the opportunity to get acquainted with African music.

I started to be active as a producer-arranger for various African artists a bit later. Up to now I have produced/directed/ played in 5 CDs.

Embowassa : Tuta Weza (1992)
Dominic Kakolobango : Habari Za Kwetu (1995)
Malick Pathé Sow & Welnere : Danniyanke (1998) , Diariyata (2002)

Slim Fatz

The hookup has been made. Delta Blues artist SLIM FATZ and legendary music producer Neal James have teamed up to produce the new SLIM FATZ cd album titled: “The Original Slim”. Closing your eyes it is as if you have stepped back into the modern past. An all acoustical, all original Delta based album recorded with realism and extreme technique. Crystal clear guitar riffs flowing down main street towards memory lane. The sound grabs you, draws you in. You can’t help but follow the hypnotic rhythm and the unusual beat. You have now been touched in the soul by blues man SLIM FATZ. The songs tell a story about heartaches, love, loss, hard drinking, beautiful women and hard times
