If you haven’t checked out the new Greenleaf Portable Series (GPS for short), I highly recommend digging in. Dave created the series as “a nod to the shorter, more informal sessions that were for many years the backbone of jazz recording. This series also explores new formats for music to be released and distributed, as well as enabling us to produce sessions in new configurations and put them very quickly into our listeners’ hands. Literally.”
This digital only series is available at the revamped Greenleaf Music site & store, iTunes (Orange Afternoons currently the #1 jazz album), and everywhere digital music is sold.
