CLICK HERE TO READ REVIEWS ON RARE BLEND'S SESSIONS

RARE BLEND'S new CD SESSIONS is an impressive 14 track disc of LIVE recordings from stage and studio. Highlighting Rare Blend's "one takes" and "in the moment" jam-fusion, SESSIONS features new songs and improvisations from shows in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Baltimore, and “in-studio” improvs recorded at Odyssey Studios in Cleveland. Also included are selections from a taping for the Crooked River Groove television program (title track - Hipster Spinster), as well as performances during their 2008 Bridging The Gap music/film series against the backdrop of such classic films as; “Phantom of the Opera” and “Metropolis”

While taking a hiatus this year to review hours of collected recordings, mix and master the release, Rare Blend did pop up for an amazing show opening for Ozric Tentacles at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland. Here the group snuck out a few SESSIONS tracks that were very well received and solidified Rare Blend’s eagerness to finish the disc by the end of the year and to bring the spontaneous side of their music to audiences in 2010.

"What a supremely tight, high energy (Rare Blend) performance yesterday evening at the Beachland Ballroom. Incredible band!"-Robert Menser - WJCU 88.7 FM Cleveland.  

Distribution of SESSIONS and digital downloads are available through CD Baby.
