Purposeful Porpoise - The Water Games (2015)

There are ""supergroups,"" and there are super groups. Purposeful Porpoise is the latter. In a digital age where flagging recording budgets typically mean that bands don't all head into the recording studio together for live recording sessions, it is now more the norm that a band may record a whole album without ever being in one room at the same time. Musicians are able to record their own parts, send them off to a producer/engineer for mixing and mastering and through the magic of digital technology an album is done. But thats not how Purposeful Porpoise does things.

Purposeful Porpoise founder and lead guitarist/vocalist/composer Alex Cora envisioned something different for this Los Angeles- based, progressive rock, concept band. With influences ranging from Genesis and Frank Zappa to Jeff Beck and Joni Mitchell, Purposeful Porpoises self-titled, double CD debut was recorded live in-studio with some of the best musicians in the world jamming and creating music that has a live, organic feel that can only be created when artists play live together.

Assembling what can only be called an all star line up of musicians, Purposeful Porpoise was conceived not only as a stand-alone record, but as part of a larger, three-album project telling the saga of Jeux Deau, which translates literally, as Water Games. Featuring legendary drummer Vinnie Colaiuta (Sting/Frank Zappa); keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater/Yngwie Malmsteen); bassist Ric Fierabracci (Chick Corea/Dave Weckl) and violinist Ginny Luke (Meatloaf/Dave Matthews) Purposeful Porpoise is a fully evolved, melodic masterpiece full of adventure, ambition and awe-inspiring musicianship.

For me, music is a living, organic thing. I really wanted to create something that was a return to the great, British prog rock of the 70s, says Cora. I really wanted there to be a real jam and a vibe. You cant get that by emailing tracks around. We recorded for 3 days at Ocean Studios Burbank with all of us there jamming. I think you can definitely hear that on the record.
