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.

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.
