El Chico Blanco is going to back me up for my new recording Music of Ghouls, and I’m very proud of it. I love the music of Steve Blanco and what the band put together on their gigs in NYC is just amazing.
but who are these guys?
well, here it goes. I’m going to give you a couple of links further down, but most importantly a quick overview about these execellent musicians:
Steve Blanco: piano
MUSICIAN, COMPOSER and FILMMAKER Steve Blanco has been forging ahead with self-made creative works for over a decade. Born in Nyack, New York to a French-speaking Moroccan belly dancer (mother) and film editor with a love of music and art (father), Blanco was exposed to artistic expressions from many different cultures. Growing up he learned the trumpet then drums and didn’t arrive at the piano until age 23.
Blanco’s music has been called “Progressive Jazz at its finest” and his acoustic trio’s album Piano Warrior (Art Of Life Records) is said to “Move like the warrior of its title – FEROCIOUSLY and in an ever-changing terrain.”

Who do you host your blog with?
Best,

Hi Christine,
thanks for your message. as of now I have this blog on wordpress.com, so I’m not hosting it myself. I’ve just started to get info about where and how to host my own blog, since I have 2 other projects in the making that require a blog. I’m looking into Dreamhost, since wordpress recommends them. I’ll keep you posted on the other projects.
cheers,
Juergen
