Couple more new originals on the way…. New covers tried on for size: “Mr. Magic” (Amy Winehouse tribute), ”Any Major Dude Will Tell You” by the Dan, and blast-from-the-past, “Couldn’t Get It Right”!
After two marathon days in the studio, Jive Nene’s first EP, “jivesessions,” is now available as CD and download! Includes three NENE originals (“Blue Planet Blues,” “Sho Nuff Love,” and “Move The Funk On”), plus two CD bonus tracks, our tributes to Aretha Franklin/Stevie Wonder (“Until You Come Back To Me”) and Gil-Scott Heron (“Lady Day And John Coltrane”).
