ArushA

About Me



New York based bass player Chris Weigers created a new band in 2007, bringing together a wealth of experience from a wide spectrum of musical influences. Arusha comes together under an always danceable groove incorporating various jazz, R & B, and ska styles. With sparkling vocals and sterling instrumentals the end result is exhiliration for all listeners.The members are listed to the left and we were also fortunate to have the following guests perform on the upcoming release:Robben Ford - guitar// Bob Mintzer - tenor sax // Russell Ferrante - keyboard // Chris Palmaro - Hammond B-3 // Jason Crosby - keyboard and violin // Yutaka - keyboard // John Scarpulla - tenor sax // Mark Paquin - trombone // Terry Nigrelli - trombone // James Ingenito - trumpet // Bob Stander - guitar // Willie Steel - guitar //Jimmy Haslip co-produced the record along with bassist Chris Weigers who is also responsible for several compositions and all the arrangements. Mala Waldron gets big thanks for vocal arrangements.Bob Stander engineered the majority of the tracks. Rich Breen did the Robben and Russell tracks and Carlos del Rosario recorded Yutaka. It's good. Listen and know.
This is "Life" from a performance at The Knitting Factory in January, 2008.

Greetings to all and the rest of you too.

We are getting ready for the debut of Arusha. The cd is being tweaked and will be sent off to production soon. There should be a New Year release and performance.
