Drexel's Fusion Band has just released their new album Cold Duck Sauce, The Best of Drexel Fusion Band which was recorded in the Drexel recording studios by Music Industry students. Fusion Band Director Lynn Riley arranged 12 classic jazz, r&b, latin and rock songs including notable hits like "Summertime,' "What's Going On,' "Ran Kan Kan' and "Moondance.'

The album title, Cold Duck Sauce, comes from a recording session of the Eddie Harris jazz standard "Cold Duck Time' which was accidentally labeled as "Cold Duck Sauce,' probably by a hungry engineer. The album can be purchased by contacting Lynn Riley at l.riley@verizon.net or Adriane Adams in the Performing Arts Department at 215 895-2451. Or come to the November 11th release party to hear this great band, eat free pizza, and buy the CD, all at Creese from 7 to 9PM.
