Chillin out in Dark Places, the
latest release from the multitalented, multi-instrumentalist Joe
Blessett, shines the spotlight on the persistently evolving music of a
genuinely enigmatic artist who has chosen to work solitarily in the
shadow of relative anonymity in pursuit of his own uncompromising
vision.


 Joe Blessett - Chillin Out in Dark Places Orlando, FL, September 20, 2011 –(PR.com)–
A saxophonist/six-stringer/keyboardist/bassist, Blessett unabashedly
confesses that he “does not play well with others” and has chosen to
create his own unique sound solo, with the aid of modern computer
technology. Influenced by the barrier breaking electric music of Miles
Davis and like minded players from fusionists Weather Report and Buddy

Blessett’s songs are inspired by the myriad sights he’s seen throughout
his world travels. To continue, please click “MORE”!
