Flippos vocal debut, the duo performs a mix of originals and modern standards. The debut album of "Da Duo" is also the vocal debut for pianist/composer Dave Flippo.

Donn and Dave cover a wide range of styles and moods in this debut...hardswinging bop on "Jets Song" and "NIght in Tunesia"...somber introspection on "Ballad" and "People"..gently flowing bossas on "Face of Love" and "Bossa DeSanto"...and lighthearted fun on "Spiderman Theme" and "Kuzushi." |

Ganesh FLIPPOMUSIC Southport Records - Chicago, IL - 2001
The quintet's second CD presents primarily original Flippo composition blending jazz with the music of India, Ireland, Greece, Romania, Bali, and the Middle East. "From the opening burst of explosive sound of its title track, Ganesh is as startlingly brash and original as its cover art suggests. Its musical boundaries span the globe with the sounds and styles and rhythmic influences, reaching from Africa to Arabia, to Ireland and India, and back here to the Chicago jazz scene... this CD is a joy to listen to from beginning to end... " Dennis Sieja, Jazz Institute of Chicago |

Tendrils of Light FLIPPOMUSIC Southport Records - Chicago, IL - 1994
The band's premier release presents numerous Flippo originals like "Zimbabalupi" , Buddha's Siesta , Tendrils of Light and many others. Flippomusic's Southport release "...actually specializes in fusing jazz (both mainstream and avant garde) with Middle Eastern, Asian, African and Latin sounds. The resulting album is as unpredictable as it is enriching...exceptional, highly recommended..." Alex Henderson, CD Review Magazine |
