"My Road to Somewhere: Sarod & Beats" is James Whetzel's new album. The CD release party for it is happening October 4th. James says: "You should come if you can. It will be very cool and will rock you like a whoop of hurricanes."
About the disc? It's an instrumental disc which features James' sarod playing. It lives on the upbeat edge of downtempo, with tracks based on classical Hindustani ragas and taals. He applies his hard earned, DJ Baba James, electronic music production skills and his love of African polyrhythms to keep the sound both fun and funky.

To repeat the CD release party is going down Sunday, October 4th. It will occur at Remedy Teas on Capitol Hill in Seattle, WA, USA, from 8pm - 10pm James will open the night with a solo set of sarod & beats. After a short break in which James says: the new CD will be "relentlessly hawked, flogged, and sold," violinist extraordinaire Sebastian Lange will join James for a set of sarod, violin, and beats. Deepayan Acharjya aka Shree D. will join at the very end (he's coming all the way from Montreal!) and bring some manic live dhol energy to finish the evening in high style. Not only will this event be cool and rock like a whoop of hurricanes, but it's free! and all ages! Who loves you? Clearly it's JW and funketabla. . .
We hope to see you there, peace, cheers, and musica!
James Whetzel and the funketabla family
btw: Remedy Teas is located at 345 15th Avenue East on Capitol Hill in Seattle, USA.
