The recording process of Greg's third solo album, 'Inventions' was a very time intense project: Twenty-one different musicians had to be coordinated - recording artists who had tight time schedules; played other gigs, were touring world-wide and/or were recording their own albums.

But fans were becoming impatient! They wanted to hear Greg's new CD - especially because he was playing most of the new tunes live with his band. That is why we (Greg Porée & Frances Livings) produced and manufactured the CD 'Inventions Pre-release'. We launched the CD on June 1, 2008 at a jazz concert in beautiful Newport Beach and sold out! Four months later, on October 1, 2008 'Inventions' was released - but that's another story...

The pre-release CD is a delightful microcosm of the final product 'Inventions'. The selection of songs range from a quirky tune like 'Fresh Air' to a compelling contemporary arrangement of a Bach Minuet: The 'Bach Minuet au Porée' will hopefully become another favourtite of those fans who so love Gr
