Profile Information

Bio: Rare Blend have released their 5th CD album entitled SESSIONS, an impressive 14 track disc of LIVE recordings from stage and studio. Unlike the group’s previous CD’s, SESSIONS highlights Rare Blend’s “one takes”, and “in the moment” jam-fusion instrumentals.

SESSIONS features new songs and improvisations from shows in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Baltimore, and “in-studio” improvs recorded at Odyssey Studios in Cleveland. Also included are selections from a taping for the Crooked River Groove television program (title track - Hipster Spinster), as well as performances during their 2008 Bridging The Gap music/film series against the backdrop of such classic films as; “Phantom of the Opera” and “Metropolis”.

SESSIONS CD AVAILABLE AT MELODIC REVOLUTIONS RECORDS!

Press quotes on SESSIONS:

"RARE BLEND can proudly stand shoulder-to-shoulder with BRAND X and the best of the progressive/jazz/fusion groups, and “Sessions” is as good as anything recorded by their peers. Highly recommended to aficionados of fusion and improvisational jam bands". (Joseph Shingler - Prognaut.com)

"These tracks exhibit the band’s knack for agreeable pacing and smart use of breathing space. In competently mining the heady realms of Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, etc., Rare Blend joins exclusive company.” (Progression Magazine - Lowell, MA)

"I’d highly recommend this to fans of fusion and fusion based prog rock. It’s a great set." (Gary Hill - Music Street Journal/ Rockford, IL)

"It's so amazing when a group of musicians can compose and / or improvise such a continuance of sounds that flow so fluidly without any difficulty" (Jasper / North Coast Voice Magazine - Geneva, OH)

"With a variety of stylistic influences, strong chops and a generally laid-back but still rocking feel, this is music that should appeal to jam-band fans". (Anastasia Pantsios - Cleveland Scene Magazine)
