About Me

The Delirium Blues Project's official release date is March 25th, it features the amazing arrangements of Kenny Werner. Our Powerhouse band of players are : James Carter, John Patitucci, Rocky Bryant, Kenny Werner, Randy Brecker, Adam Rogers, Ray Anderson and Geoff Countryman...4 horns! We are celebrating this week at the Blue Note in NYC= March 11th thru 16th. This new release takes me in a new direction and re-connects me with my roots of blues, pop and gospel blended with Kenny's special ear and mind in jazz music. Kenny has written three new arrangements and they will ffeature our new rhythm section : Richard Bona on bass and Joey Baron on drums.I am excited for all of my friends to hear the new tunes. I have recorded: Half Moon (Janis Joplin), Blue (Annie Ross), Everybody's Cryin' Mercy(Mose Allison), Sen-or Blues (Horace Silver), Nelda Grebe (Tracy Nelson), I Wish For You (Carl Wilson), What is Hip? (Tower of Power) and Be Cool (Joni Mitchell), Don't Ever Let Nobody Get Your Spirits Down (Eric Bibb) and Cheater Man (Esther Phillips)..a new crop of great tunes. Jeff Levenson has done a great job producing our project and we thank him!When on tour I always play a few tracks from my last recording (2006) titled, "Live at the Kennedy Center" on Challenge International, plus selections from my previous nine releases on labels: Telarc, Challenge, Concord. Our touring trio consists of Kenny Werner, Tim Horner and Dean Johnson. "Live at the Kennedy Center" is a swinging affair and in June 2006 the cd charted to ..18 on Jazz Week.com in the US. Last season found us touring Brazil and the UK (Allen Farnham, Mark Soskin and Gareth Williams are pianists who also tour with me).RV toured in 2004 as a US Jazz Ambassador and loved performing jazz clinics and concerts to many nationalities around the globe.
