An Austrian goddess and an old Jewish drummer walk into a bar...
...and the result is "the Marion Kind", the new CD from Stu Nevitt. It is inspired by the chance meeting between Stu and the stunning Marion von der Gusen in a small bar at Camp Shiedeck in the Angeles National Forest in California. Stu hasn't been the same since!
This disc, the first from the drummer of the Grammy Award winning band Shadowfax, features many terrific musicians Stu has had the pleasure of working with in the past. Contributing their talents are players who have worked with Shadowfax, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Gregg Allman, The Ike & Tina Turner Revue, Etta James and Willie Dixon, among many others. It continues the groundbreaking fusion of world music, blues and instrumental pop he helped pioneer with Shadowfax.
The CD is available at:
