Herb Pomeroy - New CD

[jsou]

Hey guys,

Herb Pomeroy has just finished a new CD... "Aluminum Baby" (the title tune was written by Jaki Byard when he was with Herb's big band back in the 50's). It's a trio recording with Herb's regular working group: trumpet, guitar & bass. It's a beautiful recording with arrangements and improv that are uniquely "Herb". I think Herb's going the indie route on this so it might be hard to find. I worked with his Bass player last night and got a copy. He has a web site, so if you're interested, you can email him to find out how to purchase a copy. I think they're selling for $15. Here's the website. The "new" CD isn't listed yet.

Highly recommended!

Herb Pomerory is one heck of a guy. I had the pleasure of meeting him and playing for him a couple of times. A real Class Act!

Did he retire from Berklee? That is one CD I would like to check out.

He did retire from Berklee. But he's still involved in education and is semi-active at both Berklee and New England Conservatory.
