About Mojo Mancini

Mojo Mancini is the "love child" of celebrated NYC musicians Shawn Pelton (Long time SNL drummer), John Leventhal (Grammy award winning producer/guitar player), Rick DePofi (Paul McCartney, NYNoise), Brian Mitchell (Bob Dylan, Levon Helm), and Conrad Korsch (Rod Stewart). Born of a desire to play music with no other agenda than being musically in the moment, their music draws from every conceivable musical genre but belongs to none. The music on this CD is taken from three nights of recording at a studio on Gansevoort Street in New York City. All but two of the selections were composed spontaneously at the sessions. The approach to the recordings was simple: one musician would start a rhythmic, harmonic, melodic or sonic idea and eventually the other muscians would fall in, searching, defining, experimenting, pushing, laying low, creating melodies, harmonies and grooves. If an idea resonated, we would go with it. Rick DePofi then took on the herculean task of sifting through the hours of performances and editting them down to the 'compositions' you now hear.
