SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14TH - CD RELEASE PARTY - BIRTHDAY BASH!!!
I am proud to announce that I've finished my latest CD, "CAN'T LET GO", featuring: Glenn Alexander, Jeff Golub, Clifford Carter, Mitch Forman, Gerald Veasley, Tom Kennedy, Tommy Mc Donnell, Bill Cantos, Dave Mann, Barry Danielian, La-Rita Gaskins, and Lisa Lowell... All of these great musicians performed amazingly, and I am simply thrilled with the project. Multi Grammy winner, Phil Magnotti, mixed and mastered the recording....
"CAN'T LET GO" features all original tunes, with themes of peace, longing, and lost love driving the three vocal tunes, and the remaining instrumental tunes running the gamut from funky jazz to rock to world grooves... I spent the past 2 years writing for this project, and also collaborating with Glenn Alexander, Frank Martin, and Dean Landon... The Peress Medley link (click me) has some excerpts from the release...
Come on down to SugarBar on November 14th, and celebrate the release, as well as my foray into a new and very BIG year of my life!
The CD shall be available for purchase at the gig, and also in the very-near-future at iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon, etc. ...
Hope to see and hear from you soon...
Paul

“A Master Drummer and a Must See Artist”
---LOS ANGELES TIMES ©2005
"The Paul Peress Group - in my taste - is the best
band that's ever played in the 14 years of the Kaslo Jazz Festival.
These guys were stellar!
The interaction between them, the connection with the audience, was all
just amazing."
---KASLO JAZZ ETC FESTIVAL, British Columbia - Gusti
Callis, Director
"Kenny Rogers brought the curtain down on the St.
Kitts Music Festival, along with some great performances by Lonnie Liston
Smith and Paul Peress."
---SUN ST. KITTS & NEVIS ©2005
"The first time Paul Peress and I played together,
we had an incredible musical connection - something magical was happening!
It felt like we had been playing together for years. There aren't many
drummers who care about the music at the level that Paul does. I will
remember that night for the rest of my life."
---Abe Laboriel ©2005
“Paul Peress brought the curtain down with his
diverse group of musicians from South America and the US and his funky,
jazzy, multi-cultural sounds.
Peress' expert drumming skills did not go unnoticed and received
resounding applause from the crowd.”
---THE ST LUCIA STAR ©2002 - BET Jazz St Lucia
Festival
