Ernesto Cervini is a drummer and composer who has just composed and produced a new record called Joy.  The music is inspired by a series of mystery books featuring Chief Inspector Gamache written by Louise Penny.  Amy Cervini, Ernesto’s sister and frequent musical collaborator, worked closely with Ernesto on this record.  Both Ernesto and Amy join Baruch for a spirited conversation about this music, sibling co-creativity, and more.

The music on this record is inspired by people and places from Louise Penny’s books, but even if you haven’t read the books the music is very enjoyable, upbeat, even amusing at times.  The production and musicianship is excellent, and let’s mention that the “cast and crew” on this album are all Canadians.
