Blue Strawberry | Digital Release of YESTERDAYS | Dave Black and Paul DeMarinis

Dave Black and Paul DeMarinis

Dave Black and Paul DeMarinis invite you to celebrate the digital release of their new album YESTERDAYS.

Over the past 3 decades that saxophonist Paul DeMarinis and guitarist Dave Black have been working together, they have cultivated a very deep musical bond...or a telepathy, if you will. You can hear this by clicking on the videos below.
It is therefore most important to capture and share this magic so it won’t be missed or forgotten. The CD contains a selection of standards…some popular, and some less well known. YESTERDAYS will be released on Mancuso Records (http://mancusojazz.com) ….recorded / mixed by master engineer/musician Steve Davis who is also very much connected with Paul and Dave.
