 TDC is at it again with our second DVD with special guest the "King Of Congas" King Errisson! It was such a thrill to have him on stage with us, and we KNOW you will love this DVD.
 














The Diamond Collection's first DVD! Recorded live at the Majestic Theater on Aug. 20&21. To make it even better, we have special guest King Errisson on stage with TDC!!!

We  put a wide range of Neil Diamond hits, but as always, TDC loves to play Neil's more obscure music.

 

 

Cold Water Morning Live was made for you devout and hard core Neil Diamond fans. I've chosen some of these selections for you. And because they  are ones that I have loved for years. If you happen to be one of those Neil Diamond experts, then you will pick up on little things. For instance, if you listen to I Am I Said, you will hear that it is a mixture of the Hot August Night version, but then turns into the Reprise on the album Stones. We have been playing Neil Diamond's music for such a long time, that we are able to mix versions up for fun, and to keep things fresh for you, AND for us.  Performing some of these songs live still gives me such a rush, and all around good feeling. I do hope you will enjoy listening as we do performing this album. Here is the track list, as well as a few sound clips for you to explore.

Our second album. We wanted to record a studio album, and came up with this in 2004. I love this album! We sold out of this album, but fear not!! We have re-ordered, and will be available again in April 2010. There's a great mix of Neil Diamond's hits like Girl You'll Be A Woman Soon, and our own version of (we're proud to be) America. So, if you don't have it already, It's my belief that you will enjoy it.

When We Were One is such a special album for me. This was when we were know as The Silent Partner Project, before we morphed into The Diamond Collection. It took 2 years to write, and recording was pretty unique in how it was done. I used 13 musicians to record it, but the interesting thing about it was, most of the players did not know each other, nor had they ever met until the recording was completed. I even managed to slide in a song by Neil Diamond. Pretty tricky huh?

The songs on this album come from the heart, and I do hope you enjoy listening as much as I still do.

When I released my first jazz album, "The King Arrives," in 1969, it sold over 150,000 copies. I strayed away to vocal jazz, but I have wanted to do an instrumental album like "Conga Serenade" for a long time. "Conga Serenade" is full of joyful songs: some are reminiscent of the rhythms of my Bahamian childhood; others are updated versions of my favorite movie themes; one track, "Apache," is a nod to my early days with the Incredible Bongo Band; and, I have added some new songs that I hope will become favorites,.
