to the mic plate, where he lead sings to a handful of classic from 'What You
Won't Do' to 'Let's Stay Together'. These jazz style renditions will be featured
on Drivetime's new studio album titled "Reflections", due to release sometime in
August.
The new release was recorded and mixed by Slot-1 Studio's very own
Rick Denzien, where he also co-produced the record. "Reflections has the
honest sound of real instruments, human feel and human taste", stated Denzien.
"This version pays homage to the original written and released by the great
Bobby Caldwell."
Drivetime has grown from a regional cover band to a national brand,
captivating audiences for over 10 years with high-energy performances of what's
been phrased as an 'urban organic style of jazz', bringing unmatched energy to
the stage.
Now with Justin heading the mic on the project's lead tracks, all parties
look forward to the potential fan growth. "Drivetime is a rock-solid band that
has been working hard on the East Coast jazz scene for a couple of years and it
was an absolute pleasure to work with them on their project", mentions Guarini.
"'What You Won't Do' is a classic tune that I grew up with, and I jumped at the
opportunity to record when Bernie Capodici asked. A big shout out to Rick over
at Slot-1 Studios. Thanks for a great experience", adds Justin.
In celebration of their new release, Drivetime, featuring Justin, will be
performing live this Thursday, July 9th at Warmdaddy's from 6pm to 8pm.
Slot-1's label arm will be digitally releasing 'What You Won't Do' featuring
Justin Guarini as a single, which will be impacting Internet radio within both
the smooth jazz and urban AC formats in the coming months, available at
AirPlay Direct.
A live video studio session of Justin singing to 'What You Won't Do' can also
