MP3 Stan Whitaker & Frank Wyatt - Pedal Giant Animals
11 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Progressive Rock, JAZZ: Jazz Fusion
Details:
The Pedal Giant Animals project is the culmination of years of creative effort by Stan and Frank. "Many of our compositions which had not been recorded held very special places in our hearts, so we have chosen several of our favorites to produce for this collection. There were no guidelines as to genre or content for this labor of love, simply the desire to share some of our music that we felt others would enjoy. From acoustic instrumentals to full blown progressive arrangements, this journey through our work will hopefully reveal some of the other dimensions of our musical personalities."
