On a business trip to Chicago a few years back, I had a riff that was sticking in my head from the start of my trip. I was only going to be in Chicago for about 4 days. I’ll tell you something about the windy city, there are plenty of cool blues and jazz clubs that you have to go to, to immerse yourself in the flavor of the city. I was privileged and able to go to just 2 in my 4 day stay. The first one is called B.L.U.E.S., in which is a small club with a tiny intimate stage that packs them in nightly to hear some real great players. Lot’s of local musicians play there as well as some up and coming newbies – don’t miss that club. Another club I was able to check out was Rosa’s Lounge in which , I thought was blues at it’s best. There is so many other clubs I would liked to have visited–but alas 4 days and on a business trip, I just could not do it, as they say it, “there’s always next time”. Well back to the riff in my head. As said, the whole trip and my club hopping brought me around to thinking how I can tie this riff into a song. So with the riff in my head, I wanted to get back home to my studio to see what I could work out. Wait a second – if I have a riff, what about some lyric’s? My trip to Chicago was coming to an end and I summoned up an Uber on my Iphone to take me back to the airport and home. The Uber picked me up and we proceeded to drive through town and onto the freeway towards Midway airport. Then I saw it – First one billboard than another ” Pink Monkey” it was a strip club – I fell in love!!!!!  (not only with the strip club by the name Pink Monkey)

Now I got my inspiration mojo to start feverishly writing. I grabbed a pen and a piece of paper from my brief case and started to Pen the lyric’s – Ohh – The Pink Monkey – as I got to the plane it struck me from where my journey started and where I would end back to. New York to Chicago (and a layover in) Baltimore to get back to New York the words just flowed out as I sat in (BWI) Baltimore Airport waiting for my flight back to New York.

Please Enjoy

Yes –you heard it

Starting some new projects

You might ask what are you doing now Aldo Buzzi?

My thoughts are with this project is to explore many genres and styles of music I have not done before. I like to experiment and I think a lot of my music is based on different styles.

You may disagree and I would welcome comments on what do you think?                          Is Aldo Music different in some ways or do I have a distinct style?

I’ve been recently listening to Sirius radio, “Little Stevens Underground Garage”. They have been playing a lot of older, but great stuff that you don’t hear on just about all of the regular radio channels.

I also like Latin beats and rhythms, I think i’ll add some of that in too. I want to bring in some different vocal styles and have some musician friends sing on some songs, I think that would also add some different textures to my songs. Some many idea’s, running through my head, I just have to tackle them one at a time and develop them into credible music.

So let’s take this date of May 18th 2018 and use it as a jumping off point for this project to officially begin. I’m thinking we are looking at a early 2019 release, give or take a few months, you never know as I already have 2 songs in the hopper that I really like. They both just need a little more work and refining.

1st song is “The Women in My Life”

2nd song is “U  R  I  AM”

The release of my new album (CD) has been a labor to get bloggers to pick it up, review and help an indie artist out. It’s sure seems like most of the bloggers are more interested in charging some sort of fee to promote new music instead of sincerely wanting to get new music out to the masses and help many long laboring musicians and artists get exposure. I sincerely question their motives of why are you doing a blog in the first place? Being an older musician that has been around for a while and has seen a tremendous amount of really talented musicians and artists try to get exposure and in many cases NOT to seek fame and fortune, but to just share the pure enjoyment of people appreciating their talents. Bloggers are you interested in being a part of honestly reviewing and getting an indie artist exposure or are you out to make money off of them (note in more cases then not that artist has little money to spare if any). Don’t get me wrong, I fully understand some bloggers make a living off of blogging, although I still challenge them to look inside themselves and ask why they started blogging to begin with. I’ll bet most bloggers started with a passion to write some interesting article or review and expose some new (or old) artist or musician or subject manner that at one time or another they were passionate about.

So to that end – This a a Blogger challenge  –

Bloggers, ask yourself? Were did you start from and what are you given back to your passion? Is it worth every once in a while to pay it forward and give an artist a plug – Just because you feel that they are worthy in your eyes to get some exposure.
