Recent Danny performance on internet radio

Radio Orla will be broadcasting a recording of one of last week's shows— great for all of us who couldn't make it to see Danny play with his bro at Pizza Express. Tune in on Sunday October 29 at 9:00pm UK time for the 'cast.

Ey caramba! "La Luna" released in the US

This completely made our day: "La Luna" is being added to US smooth jazz radio this week, sure to wake up the endless-cover-song stupor with a cha-cha attack. It's a huge favorite of ours from Matt's Mood, with Basia on lead vocal. Radio&Records is already on it. Oooweeeoooweeeoo!

"La Luna" will be the next US single

Unless something happens between now and the day the single will be released, it looks like the next Matt's Mood single will be "La Luna", and that's exactly what we were hoping for (and a lot of you have too, as our inbox attests!).

Basia on Jazz Trax

Jazz Trax's telephone interview with Basia was very sweet, be sure to listen for yourself. Another band revelation was let out of the bag: Veronique and Annick are back! Yay!

EDIT: shows from '05 have since been removed from the Jazz Trax site.

Basia will be in the Jazz Trax studio this weekend

Basia will visit Jazz Trax as their special guest this weekend, formally rolling out Matt's Mood. The affiliate stations and times are listed on their site, and if you don't have Jazz Trax in your area, have no fear: they archive all the past shows on Windows Media Player. This appearance promises to be good, so be sure to check it out.

Hey Now interview rocks our world!

The Radio Hey Now event was almost three hours of interviewing, music and goofing around with Basia, Danny, Kevin Robinson, George Matlock and his assistant Jacek. It was fantastic and the questions from the fans were excellent for the most part. Basia and Danny enlightened us on all sorts of stuff from their history to their current work to their favorite music. And most amazing to us was the shout-out from Danny and Basia— thanks guys, we'll keep doing our best!

Hey Now is "pleasantly inundated!"

You've gotta love this: George Matlock has so many questions for Basia and Danny that he's saying, please, no more! Be sure to tune in to Radio Hey Now online and check this out— the broadcast will take place very early tomorrow morning (Saturday the 26th), Basia and Danny are set to go on around 1pm London time, which is 5:00am PST, so set your alarms! The first three questions pulled from the hat will get a signed copy of Matt's Mood.

Matt Bianco on Sirius

A reason to switch to satellite radio really really soon: Basia and the boys will be doing an in-studio performance on the Sirius station Jazz Cafe. It will be Saturday, April 23 at 10:00pm ET (7:00pm PST).

Basia to be on Jazz Trax in March

We've just finished hearing this week's Art Good show and not only did he plug the living heck out of Matt's Mood, but he also announced that Basia and Danny will be on the show in March to introduce the new project and give an interview. Yeah! Mr. Good has always been a big supporter so it's going to be a good show. As soon as they post the date, we'll let everyone know. In the meantime check out this week's archived show and reminisce on The Sweetest Illusion. NOTE: the 2005 shows have since been removed from the site.

One suprising revelation however is that Peter White will not be touring as Matt Bianco's guitarist, being "too busy" according to Art Good (there is a concurrent tour called "Jazz Attack" that he is taking part in). Unfortunate.

And so it begins...

This week marks the initial adds of Matt's Mood to radio playlists through the US. "Ordinary Day" again will be the single. Here's hoping for spins and spins to go.
