Here's my Post-Standard review for E.S.P.'s "Time's Up!"
Bass player Matthew Vacanti says this about making a record: "It's never finished,; you just run out of time."
Hence the title of E.S.P.'s new collection, "Time's Up," on Vacanti's Baldwinsville label Spider Records.
Truth be told, all the elements seemed to be positioned just right in time and space. The fourth E.S.P. album has been percolating in the minds of founding E.S.P. members Vacanti and guitarist John Magnante since "Uptown Ex…

"I first met Karl Sterling when his parents brought him to a Stan Kenton Orchestra gig in upstate New York. He was a young drummer. This was 1972. Come to think of it, I was a young drummer at the time, too ... but Karl was younger! Karl's parents were justifiably proud of their son and how well he played. Some thirty five-plus years later, I'm the one who is feeling proud of how well Karl plays: proud that he stayed the course with his drumming, and proud that he matured into such a terrific dr…

A special congrats to Chad Lefkowitz-Brown! In this months' DOWNBEAT magazine, there is a real nice article about Chad (page 108). In addition, Chad is also the winner of multiple DOWNBEAT awards! I've had the good fortune to meet and work with Chad and when you hear him play, you'll be amazed!
Chad- I look forward to our upcoming gigs together and say congrats again to you! Keep up the great work. See you soon...........
