Felipe Salles releases CD of his Crossing Borders LIVE performance from June 21, 2008
(CD Releases)
For many June 21st is a special day. It is the beginning of summer and with it the promise of things to come. The sun selflessly offers up light to the earth as life basks in its glory.
In Ithaca, N.Y., on June 21, 2008, in a small club, “The Lost Dog”, “Crossing Borders Live”, was engaged in its Saturday night concert series. Although the crew knew this date had the potential to be special, how special wasn’t going to be realized until the last note’s decay and the audience was left basking in the musical light of Filipe Salles and his band.
From the first note to the last the band played with creative brilliance and demonstrated the difference between those that think they can and those that do. His band played not as a collection of parts but rather as an organic whole. Each musician intimately familiar with the underlying meaning and message of each song created a voice that spoke of the lessons of yesterday, the joys of today and the promise of tomorrow.
On that special day, those in attendance were fortunate to experience something extraordinary. Fortunately, for those that weren’t in attendance or unable to listen in on the radio, Filipe agreed. After contacting us and making arrangements to obtain the recorded multi-tracks, Filipe and Mika Pohjola have crafted a CD that recreates the glowing energy of that special performance.
“Timeline”, the name of this new CD, not only marks the creative stages of Filipe’s life work but also marks a moment in time when Filipe brought his band to Ithaca and shared with us what is the magic of his music.
