puppy dog jig pre-release
This Saturday morning at 10am, in the beautiful Landa Gardens, is the pre-release concert and party for Owen Duggan's new album Puppy Dog Jig, which I co-produced and played on.
Owen's first CD, An Elephant Never Forgets, which I also co-produced, has won numerous awards including a Top Ten International Hit designation from IAIRA, a gold medal from NAPPA and a silver medal from the Parents' Choice Foundation.
You'll also hear my voice and piano work on it, as well as familiar bass and drum work by my fellow Jazz Protagonists, Greg and Darren, not to mention an enviable ensemble of San Antonio Symphony players, country fiddlers, penny-whistlers, and dobro-ists. Then there's the redoubtable Bill King tripping along on piccolo and flute, and playing the Branford Marsalis role on soprano sax for a reggae-inflected song about our fragile Earth. And, for dessert, one of the best trumpet players in the country, Ed Sherry, turns in an unforgettable performance for the bedtime jazz number "Pajama Time."
Puppy Dog Jig features original songs with lyrics and music by Owen, as well as collaborations between Owen and bestselling children's authors Lorijo Metz and Sandra Boynton, Texas music legend Lyle Lovett, and folk star Marty Cooper (who wrote "The Biplane Evermore" and the hit "Little Play Soldiers" for The Kingston Trio as well as "A Little Bit Country" for Donny and Marie), and a beautiful setting of a Rudyard Kipling song from The Jungle Book.
Whether or not you get to come to the release, Puppy Dog Jig is something to look for for any kid you know.
Here's all the info.
