Newest Album

The Doug Irving Trio's charity-based album entitled "Heart to Heart" is now for sale.

 

A message of jazz produced by the legend Joe Chambers and North Carolina jazz musicians.

 

Each title is a depiction of everyday life experiences we all face daily. North Carolina has produced several great jazz musicians like John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk and their music and message still reaches all four corners of the earth. Sit back and enjoy our message and hear our NC pioneers influence and message flow through us and throughout this entire album.
