TWO NEW CDS RELEASED IN 2009

 

LOS ANGELES - 2009 marks the release of two new Detweiler CDs, Renditionation Integration and Infusion Went Away. 

Renditionation Integration is a collection of Detweiler-interpreted jazz and blues standards (both vocal and instrumental) from artists such as B.B. King, Miles Davis, Albert King and Dave Brubeck, and it marks Detweiler’s first release of standards.  "In my live shows I like to perform my own versions of classics by Ray Charles, B.B. King, Miles Davis and Albert King.   I've never recorded them in a studio.  It seemed like a good idea to put several of them on a CD for release", says Detweiler.  Infusion Went Away is a collection of all original material, also both vocal and instrumental (some of which is previously released) that features 5 (five) new compositions such as “Fleur De Lis”, “Jax On Brand”  and “True To You”.  Both self-produced CDs feature Detweiler as a solo performer, on guitar and vocals, and were recorded live at the Infusion Gallery during the Downtown Los Angeles Art walk. The absence of editing and overdubbing, along with the audible sound of the audience provides a real roots experience of Detweiler in a live gallery setting. Detweiler’s bold decision to simultaneously release the raw and gritty CDs on the heels of his highly polished and critically acclaimed 2008 VAVV Records studio album, “Made In New Orleans”, was frowned upon by many of his advisors.   Detweiler and VAVV Records, who had no interest in the project, have since parted ways.   Both Renditionation Integration and Infusion Went Away were recorded in August 2009 and released 30 (thirty) days later. “These recordings represent a fresh portrayal of where I am musically, here and now”, says Detweiler, “as well as chronicle early 21^st century live music in Los Angeles”.    More information at www.detweilermusic.com.
