Album Notes

"Good 4 Your Soul" is the debut album from one of Southern California's premier gypsy-jazz act "The Long Beach Caravan Trio". Made up of Jeff Radaich on lead guitar, Dave Coulter on Rhythm guitar, and Brian Netzley on bass "The Long Beach Caravan Trio"'s "Good 4 Your Soul" is a fun, upbeat collection of songs that takes the listener on a musical journey to paris cafes, down and dirty speakeasys, gypsy campfires, and the classic dance halls of yesteryear.

For "Good 4 Your Soul" The Long Beach Caravan Trio enlisted some of gypsy-jazz's elite to give them a hand. World renowned multi-instrumentalist and gypsy-jazz ambassador John Jorgenson pulls out his clarinet for the Radaich/Netzley original "2nd Street Swing" (which was inspired by the bands days playing for change on Long Beach's 2nd Street). Gonzalo Bergara helps the band put a new twist on "Django's Waltz" by added his bandoneon to the mix. The old standard "All of Me" gets a jolt of energy from Kevin Nolan's pumping guitar rhythm and Jeff Ross's lead playing. World famous Bossa bassist Brian Bixby put his signature stamp on the Django classic "Troublant Bolero". The regal sounding original "T.M.G." as well as the rollicking "Charleston" features Santa Barbara violinist NIck Coventry. Local Southern California musicians and Gypsy-Jazz afficianados Steve Rosenstein and David Naiditch both added their expertise to the album as well.
