On March 21, 2012,
Denver D will be launching his first album "Musically Disturbed". As a fan of his music and a supporter of live music in general, I can somewhat share in the excitement of this milestone in his career.
A few things about Denver D, taken from
http://www.denverd.com:
"
Following in the footsteps of many great musicians who came out of the famous Alpha Boys’ School in Jamaica, Denver D is not just knocking, but beating on the global door. Trained in multiple instruments at the school, he has used his talent to become a Master Percussionist. Denver’s training has manifested a beautiful multi-textured spectrum of his musical genius."
"
This young musician has already toured half the world with Jimmy Cliff, Luciano, and others, gaining much experience and knowledge of global audiences, appearing in a number of international festivals such as Rotodam, Reggae Sumfest and Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival, to name a few. He has also performed on albums for Grammy winners Stephen and Damian Marley, and for many other artistes as well."
"...
his music has been described as ‘worldbeat’ with a reggae fusion, incorporating reggae, jazz, pop, R&B and various musical genres to create a unique synthesis.“Musically Disturbed” is best described as a potpourri of easy listening, dance grooves & rhythmic ballads, to lift the spirit and soothe the soul"
I hope to make this show and will be walking with my camera. In the meantime here are a few photos from a show at Red Bones last year.
