Hey jazz enthusiasts!

If you are looking for the next classic jazz recording to ad to your collection or just want some great tunes to groove to, then we invite you to check out Joey Stuckey's debut full length jazz CD Mixture.

Blind guitarist Joey Stuckey brings flavors of guitar greats like John McLaughlin, Russ Freeman, Steve Khan and Frank Gambale, to Mixture so you are sure to get your jazz guitar fix. 

With outstanding keyboards from Tom Rule reminiscent of Herbie Hancock, Oscar Peterson and Dave Brubeck, percussion from the masters, Miguel Castro and Marcus Reddick in the vein of Tito Puente and Mango Santa Maria as well as special guest performances by Pam Rule [vocals] and Monty Cole [flute], the music on Mixture bops, swings & rocks.

Coming soon at many fine online music retailers - watch this space for the list and links....and don't forget about the CD Release Party on July 20, 2012!

MIXTUREcast #10: We'll See

Episode 10 of MIXTUREcast covers the first track on the new album - We’ll See. This song has a touch of John McLaughlin guitar and even some Joey DeFrancesco-style B3 playing [thanks to the Roland RD700-sx and Native Instruments Kore B4 softsynth].

This episode also features a special audio guest [or a poltergeist, depending on your point of view], and Tom once again has to translate some “Joey audio engineer speak” into plain English.

We’ll See has a great swing feel that would be excellent for a college or high school jazz combo to pick up. The charts will be available over at MacMusicGuy.com in June 2012 - http://www.MacMusicGuy.com.

There’s even some advice for music students around the 8 minute mark - PAY ATTENTION!


....and along with some gratuitous HeeHaw and Dominican Republic references, there’s mention made of an upcoming contest where you can win some free autographed stuff.

MIXTUREcast #9: Holly Tree Hopeful


Once again the guys darken the doors of ShadowSound Studio to discuss another track from Joey Stuckey's new jazz album MIXTURE. Today's track is one of the first the guys wrote together - HOLLY TREE HOPEFUL, which has an interesting story behind it.

It features the inimitable Dr. Marcus Reddick once again on drums - YOU'RE WELCOME MARCUS! - along with the usual random selection of topics, including but not limited to:

  • The Beatles
  • Yellow Submarines
  • Tesla Action Figures
  • Dogs and Didgeridoos
  • State Bank & Trust
  • One legged Models
  • A Nintendo DSi [can YOU find it?]


.....along with some very cool hats, including an GENUINE Indiana Jones model. It's genuine because that's what it says in the label!

Once again Tom gets nailed - this time because he forgot he'd recorded the piano part.

Dr. David Klee, an excellent flautist, is mentioned in one of the "behind the song" stories. As promised in the video, here is the link to David's album that Tom played on:

MIXTUREcast #8: Sunday Brunch

It's time for Episode 8 of MIXTUREcast. This time our intrepid musicians rhetorically ask State Bank if they want to sponsor the cd release party - and Joey YET AGAIN tempts fate by invoking the FDA.

In the midst of the silliness are some recollections of writing and recording Sunday Brunch - the first tune the guys wrote together. It has a peaceful Sunday Afternoon kind of vibe.

Joey thinks the A section sounds like Lee Ritenour or Pat Metheny, and the B section like Yellowjackets. What do you think? LEAVE A COMMENT!

The guys also veer off-topic [yet again] to discuss Oceanside, Joey's EP from a  few years ago which featured a puccoloist named Francesco Bonifazi
http://www.thejazzwhistler.com/

The album is named MIXTURE because it's a blending of styles AND sources. - yes, someone asked!

....oh, and a quick apology to Patty Williams, who really DOES have good taste!

....and Have YOU met the jerk who makes things difficult for everybody?

MIXTUREcast #7: Give 5

Episode #7 of MIXTUREcast is now ready for viewing and features the guys talking about Give 5, which they've mentioned in several previous episodes.

...but this time, a few secrets are hinted at, and even mention is made of an upcoming CONTEST!

Of course, Tom's handwriting gets a good dose of "reality", some off-the-wall comments are made, and Joey reveals that the light at the end of the tunnel would do him no good.

The title is, of course,  an oblique nod-of-the-head to Paul Desmond's famous tune "Take 5".

Yes, it was deliberate!

Mention is also made of the drum Miguel used on the track  - a Rebolo and a Casa Vallenata. You can see pictures on Tom's blog at

You will also [eventually - we gotta make 'em legible!] be able to purchase the charts and sheet music to all of the the tunes on Mixture over at http://www.MacMusicGuy.com, among other places.
