JOE DENINZON NEWS ~ JUNE 2009

Hello,

Just wanted to update you with all the happenings in the land of Joe Deninzon and Stratospheerius this month. We’ve taken a bit of a break from playing live, but I have posted all our summer and fall dates thus far. Stratospheerius WILL BE BACK starting in June. IN the meantime…

New Headspace Review

This is another stellar review from an Italian metal website. Check it out:

Stratospheerius members on tour

Our bass player, Jamie, has replaced the legendary Chris Squire and is currently on tour with British Prog legends, The Syn. They are touring the States, so look for them to come through your area.

Our guitarist, Aurelien Budynek is on tour all month in Europe with guitarist Vernon Reid (Living Colour), drummer Cindy Blackman ( Lenny Kravitz), and bassist Steve Jenkins. This is a HOT jazz/fusion project. HIGHLY recommended. See tour dates HERE

Joe Deninzon to write book for Mel Bay

In addition to mixing the new Stratos record, I have been asked by Mel Bay to put together a book dealing with improvisation in the jazz, funk, rock, and blues genres, as well as techniques or for electric violin, effects, and some chapters on gear. I have broken ground on the book and hope to have it out next year. It is a real treat to work on a project like this, and I welcome the opportunity to address certain things that I have not scene in other violin instruction books. The book will come with an accompanying CD and DVD!
