“Explode Yourself”  is now live!

Hard copies and digital downloads are now live at Bandcamp: https://loveunfoldthesun.bandcamp.com/album/explode-yourself

“Explode Yourself” has been nominated for Best Jazz Album and Best Instrumental Performance (for “Steppe Up”) at the NMMA, and the group performed an invigorating pre-release concert last week at the Jean Cocteau Theatre, Santa Fe, with projected visuals  by the album cover designer Sasha Pyle (see attached photos; videos coming soon).

From the success of the Jean Cocteau show, the group has added a second CD release concert May 30, at Paradiso,Santa  Fe.

I have also  done two podcast interviews, one with Joe Dimino at Neon Jazz:

More details on all of this in upcoming blog posts over the weekend.

After two live releases, LUTS ventured into the studio for the first time in Dec 2024 to offer up new tracks, as well as a more detailed. concise treatment of some of the previous live material. Raucous, joyous and diverse, the release officially drops May 2. Media and press can reach out to Ron Kadish at DogRanch PR: ronkadishpr@gmail.com  for an EPK
