Utilizing a programmatic theme for this series of compositions, Gillespie channeled Northern Arizona for inspiration. Compositions included "Monte Vista," "Macy's," and "O'leary Street." The Chris Benavidez Project is Jeff Giroux (alto sax), Chris Benavidez (tenor sax), Jason Brown (guitar), Jeff Naylor (bass), and Gannon Burleigh (drums).
Think Horses is a new project featuring original music and arrangements by Leon Santiago. Santiago's music has a strong latin influence, but this not your traditional latin band - think Puerto Rican folk infused with everything from African and Cuban music to American folk and Pop. Think Horses is Leon Santiago (voice & guitar), Ted Belledin (keys & saxes), John Chapman (bass), and Adam Clark (drums).
