Hi everyone,
My name is Jonathan, and I'm a drummer/composer from Chicago. I'm new
here, and I
thought you guys might like
to check out some new music that features one of the world's finest
cellist playing in a context you may not expect.
Yep,
I've got a Prog Rock band called District 97, and our debut album
"Hybrid Child" was just released worldwide on Tuesday 9/14 by Laser's
Edge. The kicker that seperates us from any other prog band is that
we
feature 2007 American Idol Finalist Leslie Hunt and Chicago Symphony
Orchestra virtuoso cellist Katinka Kleijn. Here are some links you

If you guys like what you hear, you can pick it up everywhere online
for sale or download. Either way, I'd be curious to hear the thoughts
of some like-minded music fans!
Here's a free download of our version of Olivier Messiaen's "Dance of
Fury, for the Seven Trumpets."www.district97.bandcamp.com

I've downloaded the Dance of Fury, it's a amazingly intense (and
humorous) performance. Very nice, thank you for sharing it :)
