Shireen's Project

I am very happy to announce that super talented singer/songwriter Shireen Amini's project is nearing completion! The session included a number of talented musicians, including Tony Montalvo on drums, the BatUCLAda Brazilian percussion group, string and horn sections, myself on bass and Shireen on everything else (she played everything from guitars, keyboards to varied percussions).

I first heard her play on the courtyard of UCLA's music building and I was awestruck. Kenny Burrell who was coincidentally passing by, stopped on his track until she finished her song and said it was one of the best he heard in the past decade. I kept bugging her that we needed to get her songs recorded and we finally did.

Check out what Shireen is up to at www.myspace.com/shireensounds and don't forget to get her up coming release as soon as it is out.
