DARRYL TOOKES BAND: Journey To The Hieros Gamos--- Darryl Tookes has come full circle. In the fall of 2005 he was visited by a messenger with whom he discovered new truth. An epiphany of body and soul, mind and spirit. Affirmation from the universal unconscious declaring the vision divine. Spiritual and sensual, a new archetype. The Sacred Marriage.-- Hieros Gamos marks the beginning of Tookes collaboration with guitarist Rolando Grooscors, drummer Rodolfo Zuniga, and bassist Brian MacDougal. Longineu Parsons, Johnny James and Ron Fattorusso added horns. Dmitri Pogorelov, Laszlo Pap, Joy Fellows and Ian Macksin played Joseph Jouberts arrangements for string quartet. Recorded live at Red Traxx by Felipe Tichauer. Mixed by Eric Schilling. Mastered by Bob Katz.-- A prolific sideman, journeyman Tookes has worked with a diverse spectrum of recording and performing artists while exploring multiple genres and idioms. From early mentors like Maurice White and Larry Dunn of Earth, Wind & Fire, Todd Rundgren to modern icons Stevie Wonder and James Taylor, Elton John and Donald Fagen. A partial list of Darryls professional experiences includes: Dave Grusin, Quincy Jones, George Benson, Sting, Chris Botti, Dave Valentin, Gerry Mulligan, Bobby McFerrin, Patricia Kaas, Carmen McRae, Leonard Bernstein, Patti Austin, Roberta Flack, Ramsey Lewis, Nancy Wilson, Buster Williams, Luther Vandross, Laurie Anderson, Chris McNulty, Chuck Loeb, Howard Levy, Joe Beck, Juan Gabriel, Carly Simon, Aretha Franklin, Korn, Blondie, Diana Ross, Patti Labelle and Chic.
