My CD "The Blue Window" by Roger Odell's BEATIFIK is available. If you are based in Europe you can go to the German sites   www.amazon.de or www.adorishop.de and get it by Mail Order, or if you're in the UK then www.amazon.co.uk is your best bet.  Search "Beatifik", "Roger Odell" or "The Blue Window" - one of 'em should work. 

If you'd like to check out some tracks before buying, then go to my Listening Post where you'll find four Real Audio samples.  You can then find your way to details of all the musicians involved, some photographs, a lyric sheet and a review section.

Anyone living Suffolk/Essex/Cambs area in the UK might be interested in a fortnightly jazz gig that I do at The Function Suite, The Cherry Tree, Knowl Green, Belchamp St Paul, Suffolk, CO10 7BY.  There is a resident trio with myself on drums, Larraine Odell (my wife) singing, and we have top UK guest artists featured at each session.  Check www.jazz-nights.com.

There are several Shakatak CDs and DVDs available from our web site as well as film clips.  Go to www.shakatak.com.

Any questions about the band, or any comments on the site, then get in touch.
