ED'S NEW CD IS AVAILABLE NOW!!!



It's been a long time in the making, but "GETTIN' ORGAN-IZED" is finally ready. This is Ed's first CD featuring him on Hammond Organ, and here he is joined by the prodigious talents of Charlie Jones on guitar and Don Guinta on drums. The material is mostly originals by Ed, with a couple by Charlie, and 3 cover songs. Musically, it's all over the map (if you know Ed, you'd probably expect that it would be), and attempts to operate within the grand organ trio tradition while infusing it with a rawness and energy not always heard in that bag.

It is available for purchase at:

http://cdbaby.com/cd/EdAlstrom1 - packaged CD or download

http://www.digstation.com/EdAlstrom - download of individual tracks or the whole album

YANKEE BASEBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ed has embarked on his 7th season tickling the ivories of the mighty HAMMOND ELEGANTE at the NEW YANKEE STADIUM, on Saturdays, Sundays, and someweekdays here and there.
A spot when the gates open 2hours before game time, a 15-minute spot about a half-hour before game time, and of course, rousing renditions of "Happy Birthday" in the middle of the 6th, and "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" in the middle of the 7th (all 50,000 singing lustily along!!).

Ed also played at the Yankees Homecoming Dinner in Manhattan on April 12 (accompanying Bernie Williams and singer Frank Pizarro), and he performed frequently last year on piano/vocals prior to home games in the LEGENDS SUITE CLUB (ticketholders for suites only).

Info about the team, of course, is at
