Daniel Kane was a street musician in San Francisco, he played his Chapman Stick instrument down by the Fisherman`s Wharf. He sold this cd there too. If you read reviews all over the internet, you will see that people rave about his music, and love it. He released this 9 track jazz gem in 1992.
Sloth was a California band, they formed in 1995 and made a few demos, then they recorded this one in 1997. It is produced by John Avila of Oingo Boingo. This album caught on and was a hot item at the underground trading post. The band decided to enter this cd in a nationwide contest sponsored by Guitar Center, Musicians Institute and Disc Makers and they won, beating several thousand competitors. They have since made at least 2 more albums. I`m not sure if they are still together.
Here`s one from the husband and wife team Rick And Gwen Shorter. They are Seventh Day Adventists and have made a bunch of music over the years. I`m not sure what year this was released, but I do see that they have an email address, so it`s gotta be mid nineties or later. It features 10 tracks of spiritual music.
Gully Jumpers was a bluegrass side-project of Mark Pierce (formerly of Seattle punk band Zeke) and John Von Feldt (formerly of California rock band Thin White Rope) and the Bad Livers' Danny Barnes. They released this cd in 2000 and from what I read online NO ONE has it.
Here`s a super hard to find Southern gospel cd from The Tommy Drewett Family. I`m not exactly sure what year it was released, except the it was after 1983, because that is when some of the music on the cd was written. It has 10 great tracks.
Here`s Nomad`s 2001 release "Art Of Da Griot". It has 14 fresh tracks. Nomad was an artist who moved to Seattle, from Chicago. He seemed to have more success over here in Seattle. He had a dope song “Sadistic Flow” that was on the Classic Elements compilation which featured a bunch of other legendary Seattle rappers. He released “Windy City Hustle” in 1996 which had two songs. Mr Supreme of Conception Records handled the production and Jake One appearance on the title track. Nomad released a bunch of vinyl over the years on his 360 Degree Entertainment label.
Here`s a good cajun cd from Pat Savant and The Louisiana Playboys. It was released in 1984 on JSP Records outta the UK. It features 20 tracks, and would be some of the final music this group made, as they disbanded in 1985.
