We’re are putting the finishing touches on the Debut CD from Javier Chaparro and Salúd scheduled to hit stores February 13, 2012.

While this is their first CD as Salúd, Javier and his band mates are no strangers to audiences. Javier, a Peruvian born virtuoso violinist and the current concert master for the Brazos Valley Symphony, has recorded with many artists and released “Mis Canciones”, his first CD in 2009 showcasing his talents as a singer songwriter. Paul Glasse, a Texas Hall of Famer and world renown jazz mandolinist, has three CD under his own name. Mitch Watkins has recorded five of his own critically acclaimed jazz CDs as well as produced many others.

Stephen Jarrard and Laura Mordecai complete the group on vocals, guitarron and percussion. Together this quintet presents Javier’s original songs in a blend of styles and genres that celebrate the joys of life, friendships and love.

Stay Tuned! We’ll be bringing you sneak previews soon!

Each month, look for Fable artists at the world famous ELEPHANT ROOM.

BETO y los Fairlanes can be heard generally on the 3rd Friday of each month.

John Mills TIMES TEN plays the last Wednesday of each month.

Jon Blondell is ALIVE AT THE ELEPHANT ROOM each 2nd Tuesday.

Every Monday, Michael Mordecai’s JAZZ JAM SESSION continues to attract JAZZAHOLICS at Austin’s premier jazz club…LIVE AT THE ELEPHANT ROOM.

Today is an especially good day to begin again…I do believe the web site is totally functional AND with a date such as today’s…11/1/11.

Travels take me to Scottsdale, Arizona today.  Thoughts for Fable have been (and may continue to be) dreams rather than action items as BBA continues to grow.  Dreams are simply another form of reality and the dreams continue to grow, too.

Lately, the dream for Fable has been drifting northward.  I will trek into the frozen tundra with my lady to search for the buried sounds from the Motown era.  The distress signal emanating from the “Paris of America” has reached us.

Beto y los Fairlanes return to the Elephant Room Friday, 4/15/11…$5 “tax” payment at the door!

John Mills TIMES TEN plays SXSW showcase at the Elephant Room on Saturday, 3/19/11, at 10pm.
