Delirium Blues Project, Co-Led by Kenny Werner and Roseanna Vitro, Debuts on CD March 25
Delirium celebrates the blues as the basis for much of popular music,” says Half Note vice president Jeff Levenson,
who produced, directed, and steered the project to completion. “But its music transcends and bridges
the categories–gospel, blues, country, pop, jazz, rhythm and blues.”
Werner’s arrangements aimed to “capture a spirit,” says the pianist, “to highlight the blues as a foundational form
worthy of progressive interpretation. I found the writing process fascinating, because some of the tunes were
very familiar in their original recorded versions, but I still wanted to give them a new spin. That required me to
honor the essence of what made them work the first time around–whether they were funky or nasty or rockin’.”
