Jill and I finished recording and mixing SNOW PEOPLE on September 22. We feel good about 7 months of daily hard work.
(Labor isn't hard if it's enjoyable and it was great fun making music with my buddy.) Now the 13 winter themed songs go to Steve Comeau at SPLICE for mastering and then onto a CD for duplication in Illinois. Vickie Masnica is doing her magic with packaging based on the photograph of snow people taken years ago. Our snow friends were inspiration for the entire project. It will be available for purchase here and other places in November.
Listen to us as guests on Cindy Mich "Celebrity Interview" on Talk Radio:

Our recordings are available here and at SCHMITT MUSIC in Racine Wisconsin.

"JACK GRASSEL is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer, author and educator known for his adventurous concerts, twenty one CDs. thirteen books, seventy two compositions, instructional DVD, awards and a legion of successful former students.

JILL JENSEN, jazz vocalist entertains with "no-holds-barred" performances. Jill's voice is 'Victoria's Secret for the ears'. Onstage the couple displays their impressive improvising abilities and telepathic interplay. The music is honest, aggressive and filled with creative surprises."
