We are putting together a Slim Man Live CD. We've got incredible performances from some amazing musicians doing great songs.
For Now and Forever (Live) George Hazelrigg/piano, John E Coale/drums, Mombo Hernandez/percussion, recorded by Paul Doty.
"A near-perfect example of how jazz and soul can be combined as pop."
That's how J.D. Considine (Rolling Stone) describes the Slim Man vibe.
We, the Slim Man Band, want to release a live CD. We have a treasure trove of great live performances, featuring some very cool musicianship...Marc Antoine plays guitar on some songs, George Hazelrigg on piano, John E Coale on drums, Kevin Levi on sax, Mombo Hernandez on percussion...as well as some other really great performers.
The song included above--For Now and Forever--is among those songs.
The Slim Man Band has been playing concerts since 1995. A few years ago, we were setting up, getting ready to do a show in California. The sound engineer, Paul Doty, was playing some music from a Slim Man show he had recorded the previous year, and it sounded great.
The guys in the band, who are NOT easily impressed, were impressed. It turns out that Paul had been recording the Slim Man Band live in concert for years. He had a ton of songs. So we went through them all, and found some real gems.
- And we want to put these songs onto a CD. We want to fit as many as possible. Plus, we will include 1 brand new song from the upcoming Slim Man studio CD. We're gonna fill it up!
For the next 30 days, we will be going over all the songs. We'll pick the best of the best. And we will finish the new Slim Man studio song.
We want the CDs to be in our hands on July 25th. That is our goal. We need funding for the editing, mastering, design and manufacturing of the Slim Man Live CD. Any additional funds will be applied to advertising, marketing and promotion. Thank you. Very Much. We know you're gonna love it.

I will cook dinner for you and up to seven guests. The territory is limited to the United States and Canada, and you have to pay all expenses (air, car, hotel, etc.) for two people (Slim Man and The Slim Assistant) for two nights. It will have to be at a time and place that works for both of us, mutually agreed upon. You will have to provide the food and beverages--it will be tough for me to bring that stuff with me! If you have a piano or guitar, I will even sing two songs.
Estimated delivery: Jan 2013
