I am extremely excited and proud to finally announce the release of the preeminent recording of my career.
“SLIPSTREAM” is a collection of jazz/fusion songs with 4 Grammy Award winning musicians on board to make it all swing and sizzle.
Available on ALL platforms December, 1st 2024.
Derek Wille – “SLIPSTREAM”
LABEL - Sand Dog Music
All Music composed, arranged, produced, recorded and mixed by: Derek Wille
​
The Music: SLIPSTREAM is a collection of 10 songs that I wrote in 2 weeks of unbridled inspiration.
Each song has a completely different feel in part due to my short attention span and my constant need for variance. Every song comes from the love of jazz music tempered with a bit of rock and pop.
Derek Wille - Piano, Bass, Percussion, Drums, Synths, Guitar
Mingo Lewis - Percussion
Bob Magnuson and Jeff Anotniuk - Sax
Gary Grainger - Bass
Hansel Castro - Drums
Arturo Yee - Guitar
