Darryn Farrugia’s “Seeds” Available Now
on ALFI Records

NEW YORK, NY, March 9, 2016 – Joining ALFI Record’s recent crop of CDs is “Seeds” from Melbourne-based drummer/composer Darryn Farrugia. The eight-song re-issue of mostly Farrugia originals is available now.

Farrugia learned his craft as a child by playing along to pop records by Tom Jones, Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley. As a teenager, he discovered jazz and found his true musical calling. This led to studies at the Victorian College of the Arts at Melbourne University, followed by additional studies in the United States. His wide ranging list of credits include recording sessions for movie soundtracks, advertising jingles and gigs with some of the world’s best known stars such as B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, Eartha Kitt, Jackson Browne, Petula Clark, Hugh Jackman and Olivia Newton John. He was the drummer for Australia’s comedic TV show “Hey, Hey It’s Saturday” and has written instructional books exploring various groove styles of drumming called, “Groove Perspectives.”

On “Seeds,” Farrugia wrote all of the album’s eight songs, with the exception of “Just Another Rumor,” which was composed by Colin Hopkins. The drummer, who also performs on keyboards on this release, brings together a Who’s Who of Australian session players to join him in this masterpiece of fusion. His cohorts in sound are: Luke Howard (piano), Colin Hopkins (piano), Craig Newman (bass guitar), Alex Pertout (percussion), Ben Robertson (bass), Jonathan Zion (bass), Leonard Grigoryan (guitar), Glenn Cannon (guitar) and Gavin Pearce (bass). Special guests include Mike Stern (guitar), label mates Phil Turcio (piano) and Joe Chindamo (piano), with additional assistance from Ross Cockle (mix engineer), Ethan Cooke and Patrick Bettison (harmonica). The late saxophonist Bob Berg also joined the band on two tracks.

If you don’t, check with a brain surgeon to see if your brain is possibly made of silicon,” said Albert Dadon (aka Albare), founder of ALFI Records and virtuoso jazz guitarist.
