May 5,2009: "Work to Do" on Mack Avenue Records by The Carl Allen Rodney Whitaker Project is released! We are very excited about this new recording so please mark your calendar and buy a few boxes when it come out. You can also buy it on iTunes, Amazon, CD Universe, J&R Music and other outlets.

Someone recently told me that "Life is 10% what happens but 90% what you do with what happens". That was powerful. You have to do something to e somebody. DO SOMETHING! Make something happen, it's up to you!

My prayer is that everyone will have even better year than you can even imagine. If you can think it, it can be done. It's ALL possible! "Expectations causes preparation and preparation produces results".

This has also been a difficult time as we just lost Freddie Hubbard with whom I played for 8 years. I owe my career to Mr. Hubbard and I will miss and love him always. God Bless you Freddie.
