I
want to hear from the people who have listened to my CD, either in
your car or in the comfort of your home. What did you think about
the groove the beat? Thanks for the info and the comments.
Hi Cassius,
I am an editor for a
Swiss newspaper (German speaking part of Switzerland.). You
got my attention through the webradio swissgroove.ch,
they were playing a song of your cd. Soon after I bought
"From the inside out" and I must say, I am very
happy with it (delivery, and of course your music). Without
the internet, especially this web radio, I would not have
known your work.
Best wishes
Christian
Best wishes and much love to
all the families and friends that support this project.

Bob Davis SOUL PATROL REVIEW Cassius
White - >From The Inside Out (Soul/Jazz)
When I first met Philadelphian Cassius White he described his new
instrumental CD as "Smooth Jazz". I can certainly
understand why he did that. After all I understand that from a
marketing perspective, damn near anyone who has an instrumental
album has to label it as "smooth jazz" in order to have
any hope whatsoever of getting commercial airplay in the year 2005.
However upon closer inspection and some serious listening, it's
obvious to me that it's quite a bit more than the overused and
poorly understood phrase "smooth jazz". As I listened to
the music during my daily commute another overused and poorly
understood phrase comes to mind...."OLD SCHOOL". Not
"old school" in the Tom Joyner sense. But "old
school" from the real side. As I drive along in my car
listening, the music forces my mind to drift back to the 1970's to a
time when driving a different car ("69 duce & a
quarter"....lol), with the top down, speakers blasting the cool
sounds of CTI as I was cruising around the streets in ghetto
neighborhoods of cities like Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Brooklyn,
etc. looking for god knows what. That's what this album makes me
think of...
Hey
Cassius,
I just found your site through some link in the
world-wide-web.
Cool site..... !!!
I am a sax-player and composer from Leipzig / Germany. My
work ranges from Jazz, Rock and Funk to Drum'nBass. If you are
interested in my work go to: www.groko.de
I'd appreciate it very much to hearing from you !
PEACE,
Andy
It is indeed a pleasure to here from someone who has taken
time to listen to my music. You have a really cool site as
well--nice concept with the brain! I would love to play with you
one day soon. Let's share some ideas. Really impressive resume
also. I wish you a lot of success and happiness in
all you do.
Hey Cassius,
thanks for your
reply. I'm glad you like my work.
At the moment
I'm working on a new CD. I qwrote some ne songs and now I've got
to check out which line-ups are cool for the compositions. And
then there comes the worst part of the production: the budgets !
But I'll manage that. I'm trying to build a kind of network of
musicians, because I made the experience that noone else but we
as musicians are the ones who are REALLY interstedi n getting
something started. I worked with some agencies, labels and
stuff, but they didn't ever work as I thought they should. So I
found my own label and am trying to find someone who's intersetd
in working with me to start a kind of management /
promotion-agency.
It'd be cool to
play with you! What do you think about exchanging CDs first, so
you and I get a better impressions of the playing and composing
of each other?
I'm looking
forward to hear from you!
Peace,
ANDY
