Encouraged by about a dozen positive reviews (not including friends and family) of my latest CD, “Wintertime Tunes of Drew Paralic”, I am placing an ad in the Gift Guide section of the DownBeat holiday issue. It will be both in the print and on-line editions of this iconic jazz magazine, due out 11/20/12. In it are Diana Krall, Ron Carter, Esperanza Spalding, Wynton Marsalis, Joey DeFrancesco, Stanley Clarke & Trombone Shorty. James Carter is taking the Blinfold Test; truly a star-studded issue!
