[Harp-L] Jason Ricci Update

["Jonathan Metts" <jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Harp-L,

Please allow me to put on my publicist's hat for a minute and give you all 
the latest news about Jason Ricci.

Jason and New Blood just finished recording their new studio album last 
week.  The release date is OCT. 23 and the tentative title is "Into 
Nothing".  All the tracks are originals except for Sun Ra's "Rocket Number 
Nine".  The album is being released by Eclecto Groove Records, a new label 
of Delta Groove Productions, and it's being produced by legendary producer 
John Porter.  Jason tells me that he is extremely happy with how the studio 
session went.

Also, some of you may have already figured this out from the giglist, but 
the second edition of Rockers in the Rockies is taking place OCT. 19-21 in 
Boulder, CO at the Boulder Outlook Hotel.  (That's Friday through Sunday! 
Good news for those who had trouble with the Monday session last time.) 
Rockers in the Rockies is an intensive and interactive harmonica seminar for 
intermediate players.  The confirmed instructors are JASON RICCI, CHRIS 
MICHALEK, MICHAEL PELOQUIN, and PETER "MADCAT" RUTH!  Some of the details 
for that weekend are still being worked out, but we wanted everyone to know 
the dates and instructors as soon as possible so you can start working out 
your travel schedule.  Please stay tuned for the hotel discount information, 
if you need to book a room.  Registration information and all that fun stuff 
is coming soon.  If you are interested in Rockers but want to know more 
about the experience and what topics were covered, feel free to ask me or 
one of the many Harp-Lers who attended the first seminar.  It was a blast!
