Lenz and Steve Girardi, and multi-instrumentalist Dave Edwards on piano, violin and electric and acoustic basses. Rounding out the group is composer Greg Federico on keyboards, drum kit, and percussion.
Thirteen soulful musical portraits are beautifully arranged and performed in a generous program lasting over a satisfying 77 minutes! This recording features 9 compositions by Federico, 2 by B.D. Lenz, and 1 each by Steve Girardi and Ron Velosky. Says Federico: "This record represents the highest level of writing, arranging and performing I've ever been associated with."
What the press have been saying about "Live to Love, Love To Live":
"Federico's 'Live To Love, Love To Live'. . .is a collection of jazzy hybrids mixed with Midwestern folk impressionism, world, Latin, classical and pop. . .the album is astoundingly well constructed. It is a kind of musical motion picture, in which each track seems to tell its own story before flowing easily into the next. And like a good movie, it is filled with wonder and surprise."
-- Jack Florek (U.S.1)
"It is hard to express the mystical in music, yet Mr. Federico succeeds somehow."
-- Susan Van Dongen (Princeton Packet)
"Federico's recording takes his listeners on an eclectic and geographical journey."
-- Curt Yeske (Trenton Times)
GREG FEDERICO:
PHILOSOPHER: "Greg Federico is a philosopher. He also is a musician. It's almost impossible to separate the two facets of who he is -- and probably not necessary, because one enhances the other." (Janet Purcell-Piggott, Hopewell Valley News)
Greg Federico received his BA in Philosophy from Villanova University in 1991, but has since philosophically lived a life of music. Subsequent to his philosophy degree, Greg studied music education (specializing in drums and percussion) for two years at Trenton State College under the tutelage of Tony DeNicola (Harry James Orchestra). During his time at TSC, and for a couple of years following, Greg augmented his studies on drums and exotic percussion wit
