Dark Chocolate - Island Gypsy Music CD

This debut album from Dark Chocolate features Kim Stone (Spyro Gyra, the Rippingtons) on electric and fretless bass and 12 string bajo sexto; Joseph Lucido on guitar and guitar synth; Aaron Stone on drums, percussion, marimba and piano; Alan Steinberger on piano; Ronnie Ray Padilla on flute, piano, guitar and percussion; Nico Georis on piano; Clay Henry on percussion and others. This Caribbean-flavored set will inspire spontaneous dance. These established side men and A-List session players create a new sound that provides a few familiar themes, but stretches outside pre-conceived boundaries. Vocalist Jaqui Jope is featured on Samba Rio.
