1500 Miles by Joe Dallas Sr., Joe Dallas Jr.
Here is how this CD came about. My son Joe Jr., is a bass/trombone player in Key West, FL, and he had the great idea that we should do a CD together. I'm not a big fan of recording; it's hard! After long hours in a recording studio with the right musicians and excellent songs, you still have to face the editing and mixing, and that's just the beginning. But Joe said, "Don't worry; I'll set it all up" and he did! Once he got the ball rolling, I got into it too and the rest is history. Since half of the recording was in Key West and half was in Pittsburgh, we called the CD 1500 Miles. We are the constants, and we used five different Jazz Quartets made up of Guitar, Drums, Bass and Trombone to make each grouping unique. We're very proud of this album, and we hope you will enjoy it.
