BLUES EVOLUTION
MODERN ORIGINAL SOUL & BLUES IN THE TRADITION OF:

· Atlantic/Stax · Robben Ford · Bobby Bland · Van Morrison · Ray Charles
· BS&T · Dr. John · Steve Winwood · Joe Cocker · Charles Brown

Hello,

This musicians call is for excellent musicians from around the world to join
with Blues Evolution, in lending their musical vision and their "chops" to
the production of a second Blues Evolution CD. Essentially, we seek to form a
virtual Blues Evolution "super group" of excellent, but possibly unknown,
players from around the world. By excellence, we envision refined players who
would feel at home in a session with Sting or Steely Dan, but who understand
the "real soul", harkening back to the time of Dan Penn and Jerry Wexler. If
you have the creativity and musical skill to contribute to this project, then
the truth is that we could never afford to pay you what you are worth. We are
not, by any means, the suits. So, because this is a non-paying gig, we
realize that this will not be for everyone. For others however, this will be
just exactly what they have been searching for as an outlet for their musical
expression or as a diversion from their typical musical affiliations.
Although lead vocals, guitar, bass, and drums are essentially covered by a
core group of players, we are seeking HORN PLAYERS, KEYBOARDS, and
BACKGROUND SINGERS and other interesting instrumentalists who have access to
quality home recording equipment and who can really sweeten the mix. We will
also consider co-writing with the right collaborators. In case this sounds
like you and this idea sounds interesting to you, here is a brief description
of Blues Evolution.

The music of Blues Evolution has been described as "Ray Charles meets Steely
Dan." Besides the obvious comparisons to Steely Dan, it is also Steely
Dan-like in the sense that Blues Evolution consists of two primary
players/producers; Elexus Quinn (lead vocals) and (guitarist & orchestrator),
Ziggy True. It's an eclectic approach to Blues music; in the neighborhood of
the Blues, but not down that exact alley.

To learn more about joining the virtual Blues Evolution, visit the Blues
Evolution website (click on the "Musician's Corner" navigational button) or
reply to this email with TELL ME MORE in the subject. Also, song samples from
the first Blues Evolution release can be heard at CD Baby.

Please forward this message to other great musicians.

Nothing Is Meaningless,
Elexus Quinn
