It's all about the music. The "Playground" is the stage. Warren Butrico co-wrote and arranged the album. He is an extremely talented keyboard aficionado. Done a lot. Mostly self-taught. Glenn Bacon co-wrote and produced the project. He is a singer/songwriter with roots from the sixties Greenwich Village folk/rock music era. Initial Approach is an instrumental smooth jazz album. We hope you will enjoy their work.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Warren and Glenn perform occasionally at various venues. But "Initial Approach" was a studio project done for the sheer love of the music. These guys enjoy some real diversified talents and are known to play well with others. You just gotta like what you hear.
Your musical influences
Initial Approach is predominately a smooth jazz album. Warren listened to Dave Grusin alot and developed the ability to construct fabulous arrangements. Glenn pretty much evolved into jazz. Through the years he developed his ear for smooth jazz compositions. He listens to Larry Carlton, Earl Klugh, and "The Rippingtons".
What equipment do you use?
A Technics KN-2000 was the principle keyboard used on the album. There's also a whole bunch of toys.
Anything else?
If you would like to obtain your own copy of Playground's 'Initial Approach' CD, please email the artist directly. Thanks for listening. We really do appreciate your ears! Casabah Group Entertainment

Very cool_many thanks-
Nice music.
very clean, professional sound on one mile away. in fact, it may be too clean. i suggest tossing in a wrong note once in a while to make it more humanized. --stockwrock
Hey whats good! I was searchin for some Jazz tracks when I came across your page. Listened to a couple of your tracks and I like what you're doin! Keep doin it up!!! If you get a chance, I'd like a Jazz musicians opinions on a couple Jazz/Bop influenced songs on my page: "When The Music Plays", "Am I Crazy Or What", or "Clervoint". Thanks again for all your support and keep doin it up for the love of music!!!!! Respect* *Jass*
Hey, what, no messages yet? Well I like the way you say goodnight - nice unpredictable sequence of chords - laid back and smooth the way I like it. And self taught too! keep it going!
