Rhode Island Local Musicians
Project Christmas 2010


A CD of Christmas Music
for all New Englanders by local area artists


Bob "Dizzy" Gillespie & Tony Caramadre (Phattones Studio)
are producing a Christmas Music CD

Included will be old favorites, new favorites and original songs.


Conceived to fill a void in the local music scene, this planned CD Album was
originally slated for release in the fall of 2009 but has been delayed due to
Phattones' and artists' heavy work schedule and release is expected in 2010.

This innovative project will include a DVD "reality" movie with
behind-the-scenes recording, concert footage, and a number of live concerts.

We are still accepting a limited number of musician originals,
and new interpretations of Rhode Island "oldie" favorites.

Sponsors are still being accepted subject to committee approval.

Promotion for a sponsor's organization and their product or service may
include a mention on the CD, the concert program book, the DVD, and publicity.

Publicity will be coordinated by our 30+ year veteran of media strategy, publicity
and promotion well-known to many in the music industry, film industry,
politics and the news media.

This type of Christmas project has never been done on this scale in Rhode Island.
Bob and Tony expect great results for musicians, sponsors and listeners alike.

Bob is an accomplished drummer and percussionist who has played with a number of bands from Florida to as far west as Arizona and north into his native New England including "The Detectives", "MX", "Louisiana Red", "Blues Hounds", "The Schemers" and more.
Bob's experience and innate ability to coordinate a variety of temperments and styles makes him a perfect choice to coordinate musicians and their music on this project and get the job done right.
