We got a nice review yesterday by Raul da Gama at JazzDaGama.
We slipped down to #2 this week at RMR.
If you can, please contact your local jazz station and request songs off the Boptism Funk Band album Conspiracy to help get this CD heard. We would really appreciate it!
Thanks everybody!
Rich
P.S. If you haven't already seen the promo video, here it is. Thanks again!

John is playing valve trombone and EVI. Most of his soloing is on EVI, but he does one solo on valve trombone, trading fours with me on bass trumpet.
John Swana is one of the most enormous talents in jazz today in my opinion, and I'm lucky to have been friends with him since the mid-80s in Philadelphia.
By the way, Conspiracy is the feature album this month on WICR in Indianapolis, and they even have an interview with me posted on their website.
