Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to experience the soulful sounds of "Fresh" - the latest offering from Color Red Music. This recording captures the essence of that classic Blue Note era, when music was all about improvisation, creativity, and raw emotion.
Recorded in two days at Mell Dettmer's Studio Soli, the band was powered by her husband Mamadu's secret recipies. The music was effortless, the hardest part was the struggle of carrying Delvon's Organ up and down a muddy hill.
So sit back, relax, and let the soulful melodies of "Fresh" transport you back to a time when music was all about passion and authenticity. With every note, every beat, and every riff, you'll feel the energy and excitement of a bygone era. So turn up the volume, let the music take over, and let yourself be swept away by the timeless sound of "Fresh".

Music Inspiration: Studying and playing with the masters in NYC, listening to old records and learning the music by ear. Huge fan of the Organ Trio. The session got booked with Skerik, and Delvon Lamarr, and at the time Delvon was touring heavily. We have about a weeks notice, and I wrote the album. Inspiration was in the air I guess.
Artist Statement: This was one of those effortless sessions. The players are all fantastic and it was a good olde time. Mel the engineer, her husband, Mamadu, cooked us some amazing food, and we knocked it out in about two days. The hardest part was getting Delvon's Organ down the muddy hill in the rain. Them things are heavy!
