Go Frankmax!

[MIDI Life Crisis]

Not enough that he is a Grammy nominated composer, now the RMALA is also announcing Frank's CD party on Jan 11 with a webcast! So no excuses, EVERYONE can see and hear him.

I know, this should be in some other area, but I don't want anyone to miss this opportunity. Great lineup of musicians and "our own" Frankmax doing what he does best - making music!

Hope to be there Frank. Been too long.

Awesome!
I'm going to try and make that one... I know a few of them cats.

[Frodo]

Those are some serious players, there-- all of them!

Congrats, Franky!

[frankymax]

Hey, thanks you guys! What a nice surprise- I planted a shameless plug for the gig on the Off-Topic section of the board. It should be a fun night and if you can drop by, please make sure to come and say hello! I'm truly blessed to have such an awesome group of musicians playing my charts.
BTW- the whole CD was mixed in DP- take that, you guys on Gearsl*tz who say you can't mix in DP!!

All the best,
-Frank

By the way, I TOTALLY advise anyone who likes jazz to go to Frankymax's site and listen to some tracks. He's not just any ol' sax player. Great stuff, Frank, and it makes me happy that people are forging ahead with such great jazz writing. Maybe the glory days of jazz aren't behind us, but ahead of us.

Wow. I just listened to "I've Been Working On The Railroad." Beyond words.

[wurliuchi]

Wow! Neat! I have multiple alarms and reminders set and I'm really looking forward to hearing Frank's concert tomorrow at 8PM PST. How cool!

[Tomrabbit]

Great stuff on your site, Frank. I will try to listen on Monday too.

Many thanks for the Links.

[wurliuchi]

Just about that time.

[wurliuchi]

Get on there boys, it's great!!!

[wurliuchi]

Bravo!!! Standing ovation here.

Congratulations, Frank!!! It sounded great!!! I absolutely love those arrangements you wrote. I'm in awe. Wow!!!

I hope you do do another album of folk tunes like that. It's such a great idea and you sure pulled it off. It's just wonderful.

The webcast sounded and looked great. Really 1st class. The best webcast I've ever heard. Really!!!

What a band! Whew!!!

Be very proud.

Fantastic!!!

Do you think I've used enough exclamation marks? Well, I haven't. Here's some more.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[frankymax]

Thanks for all the exclamation points, Wurli! We really had a fun time last night (until I had to pack up all those horns) and I'm thrilled to hear the webcast looked and sounded good. The guy who ran the webcast used to work at Wally Heider recording in L.A. and I had several people email me that the sound and video were really good for the webcast, which was great to hear. That was a first-time thing for me. Thanks again for your support, fellow MOTUnation-ers! I think I'll be posting some clips on youtube in a few weeks for those of you who missed the webcast.

Best,
-Frank

I think I'll be posting some clips on youtube in a few weeks for those of you who missed the webcast.

PLEASE DO, Frank!
I wanted to listen to it yesterday, but I was stuck on stupid traffic and got home too late

If you post clips, please let us know. I know you are great. I wanna listen
