 | | | We are currently enjoying a little R & R following a first half of the year that has found us touring both the West & East Coasts here in the States, as well as a month in Europe. In June we premiered our 'Ludwig' project to an ecstatic audience & rave reviews for our reinterpretations of Beethoven's 3rd & 6th alongside a full orchestra. We also released our 20th album, Stay Gold, on our record label Kinnara Records.
If you have yet to pick up a copy of Stay Gold, you can click here to grab it from iTunes. If you'd prefer a hard copy click here for the CD and/or the double vinyl, and Tulsa residents can pick up a copy at the Whole Foods Market . If you want a taste before you buy, listen to the title track here, and watch the video here.
Alarm Magazine says that "...the soaring melodies of keyboardist Brian Haas remain front and center, with the rest of the band offering eloquent accompaniment and robust grooves and beats. Stay Gold is another compelling chapter in the storied history of JFJO."
Congratulations to Tyler Miller & Caswell James, who have tied for 1st place in the The Sensation of Seeing Light remix contest. Thanks to everyone who submitted an entry.
