I'm a little bit late with this one, but hey, it's only three weeks since the official release.
In August 2013, Carsie Blanton ran a Kickstarter campaign “Jazz Is For Everybody” and killed it. It was uber successful.
We had to wait for quite a while for the result but now it's here, with the title “Not Old, Not New”. It's not a swing dance album but there are a few tracks that work well for dancing.
A nice-to-have for every Jazz lover.
Not Old, Not New
Release date: June 24, 2014

All of my music is available for download, for any price you please. Why? Because music is not a commodity, and songs are not worth $0.99. I made this because I wanted you to hear it. The question is, what's it worth TO YOU?
“Not Old, Not New” is also available as CD and vinyl record.
Digital Album
Immediate download of 11-track album in your choice of high-quality MP3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.
About The Album
Not Old, Not New is a collection of my favorite jazz songs from the first half of the 20th century. It's a sultry, slow, subtle record – the kind you might play while you throw a classy dinner party, or make sweet, sweet love.
