Foreign Growth by Dave Hartl & Gaijin
My second album of original material came out in 1992. I used great musicians, adding some more to the gang that helped me make my first album, and expanding the compositions to feature 8 tunes that still hold up for me today. I'm still proud of these tunes and have played them over the years, never growing tired of them.
"MoBop" was chosen by Philadelphia's jazz station, WRTI-FM, to lead off a "best of Philly" compilation that never made it out due to a programming change. And "Perculator" remains my most popular cut I've ever done, judging by downloads.
