Congratulations to my student @esaialiquo and her Grandfather Don Aliquo Sr on their long awaited CD release at @uncorkedpgh last Saturday! I started working with this dynamic duo back in 2022, and it’s been such a beautiful journey ever since! Grateful to her parents @drealiquovarela_aka_viva and @westley_1971 for the opportunity to work with their incredible child! Everybody run to your nearest streaming station and play her record “Inherited Groove”, or buy one off of her at a gig! I produced this project at The Church Recording Studio with engineer Dana Cannone @thechurchrecordingstudio, and we featured some amazing Pittsburgh jazz musicians Joe DeFazio 🎹, Bruce Wallace 🎻, Tony Martucci 🥁, Benjamin May 🎻 #cdrelease #pittsburghjazz #esaijazz #phatjazz #producerlife

Truly lovely concert last week at @thunderbirdmusichall by the lovely and talented humans in the seemingly indefatigable power band, Austin’s swamp funk darlings @shinyribs! I don’t know how much of their tour they have left but if you haven’t checked them out, I sincerely recommend you do! If anyone knows the Insta tags of the band members please tag them here in the comments so they see my pics please!!! What a truly wonderful evening of original and originally rendered classics. I will never not go see them every time I get the opportunity to do so! Grateful to @frontporchfest for bringing them to my attention!! #swampfunk #austin #livemusic #pittsburghaustinconnection #austinmusicscene

So proud of this young lady! Her rescheduled CD release party is happening in less than 2 weeks!! I helped produce her ep “Inherited Groove” featuring her grandpa Don Aliquo Sr, streaming now on all platforms! Join Esai and her Grandpa Don Aliquo Sr. in celebration of the release of Esai’s first EP “Inherited Groove” on Saturday, October 10, 2026 at Uncork’d @uncorkedpgh in Sharpsburg, from 4 pm - 7 pm! This EP was executively produced by Phat Man Dee and recorded by Dana Cannone at The Church Recording Studios @thechurchrecordingstudio in Overbrook, Pittsburgh, PA. This work features loving interpretations of classic compositions like Billy Strayhorn’s “Just A Sittin’ and A-Rockin’”, Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile”, Eden Abhez’s “Nature Boy”, and Charlie “The Bird” Parker’s composition, “Billie’s Bounce” complete with Pittsburgh jazz artist and founder of vocalese Eddie Jefferson’s lyric at the head of the tune. Esai makes a strong and powerful debut with two brand new original compositions, “You’ve Been Thinking About Me!” and “The First Time” co-written with her grandpa Don Aliquo Sr., Phat Man Dee, and Joe DeFazio. This photo was taken at a beautiful evening at @drtumbletys @conjurebarpgh at a @velvetheartsentertainment show hosted by Esai’s diva power mama, the incredible @drealiquovarela_aka_viva #jazz #pittsburghjazz #inheritedgroove #esaijazz #phatjazz
