Chris West Blog – European tour and in the studio

Hello Friends,

I’m currently in Europe (Germany) on tour with The Dynamites, and things are going great! We’ve played 4 shows so far, 3 in Germany and 1 in London (at the legendary Jazz Café) and they have all been incredible!!! Great crowds, great venues, great food, etc. I am meeting some wonderful people and making new friends as well as running into some old friends from high school (hey Kinzli). I will be here until Dec. 1, performing in Germany, UK, France, Belgium, Holland, Spain, and Switzerland. For more details on what cities and venues be sure to check the calendar section.

I also wanted to let everyone know about my new project I’m working on. I’ve been in the studio for the past several months working on my newest album. This project is mostly straight ahead(ish) jazz, slightly different from my first project, Jazzmanic, in that it is a little less funky and a little more jazzy. I’m very excited about this project. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while and I’m finally making it happen. I will be finishing recording in December and January, and plan on releasing it shortly after. Keep an eye and ear open and I’ll continue to update everyone on my progress. And again, you can always get the latest news here at www.jazzmanic.com. You can also sign up for my newsletter and we will send out regular updates.

Thanks for keeping up and I look forward to seeing everyone when I return.

Chris
