Joe Interviewed
I did an interview for WWUH that will air on the 12th of July, on Thursday Morning Jazz with Mark Channon. Click this link www.wwuh.org for more info, or click here to listen to the archived interview.
We talked about the newly released "Words Cannot Express" CD by the Vince Norman/Joe McCarthy Big Band, available on OA2 Records
"Words Cannot Express" was 92 on the top 200 National Jazz Playlist and continues to climb.

I have a play-along afro-cuban drumset book with Alfred Music coming out at the beginning of '08. The music for the book is from the new Caribbean Jazz Project recording with Afro Bop Alliance on the Heads Up Label. Release date is in March 08.
We have 2 great guests playing with the band on Aug 22nd at the Kennedy Center. Steve Davis, one of the great young trombonists on the scene today( Art Blakey, Chick Corea) and Ed Fast, a great percussionist, drummer and composer who leads Conga Bop, and just finished a tour with Chita Rivera. Show time 6pm, free to the public.
I spent time in Texas the week of Oct 15th for clinics and performances at the University of Texas, Arlington, Texas Christian University, SMU and Southwestern University. It was a great tour, had a chance to see old friends and meet many new. Thanks again to Doug Howard, Tim Ishii/Jim Yakas, Brian West and Thad Anderson and my sponsors:Zildjian, Yamaha, Lp and Innovative for their continued support.
I also had 3 great days at the end of October in Colorado at the University of Northern Colorado, performing with the UNC Salsa Band, and doing a clinic/masterclass. Thanks to Jim White and my sponsors for 3 days fo great music!!
