So, there are two versions of how the name “35 Days in May” came about.Version 1 - I remember that I was trying to think of a name for the group. I always liked numbers within a name (9 Inch Nails - 3 Doors Down etc). So I just came up with 35 Days in May.Version 2 - my wife remembers that I was trying to finish my first Cd by May 31st. It took four extra days. So instead of saying it was complete on June 4th she came up with, ” At least you made your goal of May, it’s just May 35th”.Take your pick !!!!

I have openings for three students. I teach improvisation, composition and “creativity”. My group “35 Days in May” is an example of my work (jazz/fusion/urban R&B and “as some have referred to it as tri-hop or acid jazz”)…. which is my resume.www.newindieartists.com/35daysinmay/
I am only accepting advanced students that are serious about learning.

Bass Line is done. Sal DeRaffele came thru as he always does with a great bass line. I started out by having Sal just play thru the entire tune. After a few attempts we realized that this piece was like a suite. So we approached it in sections……… as usual this composition is eclectic in nature …. I should have it posted soon so you can listen.
