A Skafish Christmas in July

Yes, you heard right!

Starting today, Monday, July 9, 2018 through Sunday, July 15, 2018, take advantage of this unheard of price and get my holiday jazz album “Tidings of Comfort and Joy – a Jazz Piano Trio Christmas” on CD for just $5 from CDBaby! Keep in mind that this offer is ONLY good on CDBaby and just for one week. Also, it gets better: Buy more than one album and get a 10% discount! Click here to purchase!

You’ll get 68 minutes of pure holiday jazz, superb musicianship, unique reworkings and fresh arrangements of holiday classics. Each song was cut in 1 to 4 takes and recorded and mixed on the highest quality analog recorders, giving you the warm, rich sound that classic tape recording provides.

This is a fantastic gift at a low price for those who want high quality music for their holidays. It is also an album for those who might not be a big fan of holiday music, but could enjoy something in that vein that is musically sophisticated and done well. No gimmicks — no technological trickery — just pure holiday jazz.

First Album News

Posted by Skafish on

debut_1100

Over the years, people have asked me repeatedly why the first Skafish album wasn’t available. It has even gone to the point that I have received negative online reviews for other records I’ve released, simply because those records were NOT the first Skafish album. Some even took it as far as claiming that I was blocking the re-release of my debut LP, and accused me of being ashamed of it. Of course, those assertions are beyond ludicrous, to say the least. I love the first Skafish album and all that it stands for!

I’ve never tried to dodge the issue about the first album, but I refused to be specific — and that was solely because of ongoing legal issues I couldn’t discuss at the time.

However, I now have some news to report. Things are settled enough for me to let you know that I have finally gained complete legal ownership of my first album. Trust me when I tell you that my efforts to get this done have not only been painstakingly difficult for decades, but quite expensive as well.

From the questions and comments I frequently receive, it seems that many of you would be highly interested in this album being re-released. So, I will start working on it. My intention is to see what I can do to get this wonderful record out there for all the fans who have loved it for 35 years. I still get emails from people who have just discovered the album. That also leads me to believe that the music will connect with people hearing it for the first time today. As soon as I have more to share, you will be hearing from me!

If you’d like to support the project, you can use the link below to buy me a cup of coffee! (Account name is La Befana Records.)

Thank you so much for your support –
Skafish

#TBT From the vaults, here is my segment from Wild Chicago circa 1990. This clip documents my solo show era and Tiny, the late great Skafish fan whose entire home was a Skafish museum.

Enjoy — Skafish
