Details:
Mike Goudreau presents his 10th album, ''''Blues Et Cetera'''', rich with 15 new original songs. The works are tainted with reggae, singer/songwriter, rock, country and world music influences as well as Texas, Chicago, funk and swing blues for which Goudreau has been renowned for the past 17 years.
Many new musicians are highlighted on this recording, including the legendary trumpeter Roger Walls who has played on more than 200 albums in the past 30 years, with many of Quebec''s top artists as well as working with the likes of The Duke Ellington Band, Cab Calloway, Tony Bennett, Offenbach, Diane Dufresne, Claude Dubois, Vic Vogel and many others. Also joining Mike is drummer Simon Bergeron (son of drummer Richard Bergeron, Mike''s friend and partner for 17 years and founding member of the Boppin’ Blues Band) who brings an element of youth along with solid and creative drumming. Also on this recording are regular members of Goudreau’s band: Nino Fabi on organ and piano; David Élias on saxes and horn arrangements; Maxime St-Pierre on trumpet; Serge Arsenault on trombone; Dany Roy on sax; and Sylvain Daigneault on piano. Also noteworthy are guest appearances by Montreal accordionists Didier Dumoutier and Pierre-Olivier Ouellet, and by cellist Eric Kory.
On this album Mike presents many different styles of the blues, hence the title ''''Blues Et Cetera'''': ''''I wanted to make a more contemporary-sounding album but also wanted to present some of the styles that folks have come to expect from me over the past 17 years'''', says Mike. It''s no wonder, since his music and songwriting has never stopped evolving. In fact, over the past year, he has signed well over 250 songs with music libraries worldwide, and has had some impressive breakthroughs with three of his original songs featured on network television on NBC, ABC and CBS. He has also had 18 of his jazz tracks featured on 4-box-set compilation with American Label ''''Arizona University Recordings'''' distributed in Europe and Asia with Sony/BMG and Universal. All this was achieved without a record deal or producer, something that only hard work and perseverance – and some talent! – can bring.
The festival season is being booked, and Mike''s schedule will be busy. The new album will be launched officially in February 2009 and released through https://www.tradebit.com at https://www.tradebit.com or for sale at his concerts. So be sure to catch Mike at a festival near you for a preview.
