"Ed Goldfarb, Paul Gentry, Paul A. Fox, LaVada Torzewski and Dan Swan" (August 2004)

December 27, 2004

Azimuth lost Paul A. Fox, our friend, producer and guitar player on December 10th to an auto accident. Paul put his heart and soul into our music and his productions on our next album and we are all crushed, yet we look ahead as His vision shall not cease. We set up a page on our website to Paul’s work at LINK. This tragedy only makes us more determined to finish the “Mystery of Your Love” CD and to have it reach the pinnacle both the Lord and Paul would expect. Paul plays guitar on much of our album and produced many tracks, including the title track. We can promise you that our music will be on the national radio airways and His music will live on!!!

ELEVATOR REACHED THE TOP FLOOR!!!! "Elevator's Gone" recently hit #1 on the popular Uncle Samoo's Zoo Radio Show which is hosted by WITR FM in Rochester, New York.  Many popular bands were launched from this Indie Christian Show including "Jars of Clay."  We are currently #42 on their charts with the new song Purified!

Additionally, the Paul Fox produced "Son of Thunder" was aired on December 19th and the show was dedicated to our late great friend!  This show is syndicated via internet around the world and airs Sunday Nights 7 PM to Midnight (eastern).

MYSTERY ALBUM! We have six songs in works with our producer, Ed Goldfarb for next year. Some of the songs are Pop/Praise in nature and our new album will be of great assistance in promotion for play in churches. We like to call our next album our “glorified demo” for the church, but the production levels are at a label level thanks to Ed and the former works of Paul Fox. To make our next album a greatest hits kind of thing with nearly all LaVada lead vocals we will add 2 or 3 tracks from our Alpha and Omega album. This may very well be our last Pop album so we want to make it count. To keep an eye out for new productions please save our page at LINK.

Christmas! We were blessed to have written a couple of new Christmas songs, “Do You Know It’s Christmas” and “Shepherd’s Song” this year with Rhesa Siregar, Elton Smith and Larry Holder and can be found at SOP. Maybe a bit late for this year, but next year is a different story so keep us in mind. Look for our 2002 song “Christmas Morning” too. Azimuth is planning to follow-up our Mystery of Your Love CD with a Christmas EP as our next project.

Praise and Worship! We were also quite blessed to have written a song some already consider a “sure future national phenomenon” with “Adoration”. We have been making stabs at building the perfect P/W song for years and feel we may have accomplished such with the assistance of the wonderful lyricist Rick Founds, and music writers, Rhesa Siregar, Paul Gentry and Elton Smith. There is a very rough demo recording of the song on SOP and Azimuth will record it with new instrumentation on the 2005 album.

Finely. As Azimuth reaches its 20th year as a ministry next year we have many things to feel grateful for. Even as a garage band performing in Youth Authorities and Prisons like “Soledad” in California in the mid 80’s we helped spread His word and were able to share “new decision” times. We are a cyber band now, but there is a unmistakable momentum we cannot ignore. For instance, our first four completed songs for our new album have already had radio play and we haven’t even released the album yet! Like beloved Paul A. Fox, Azimuth had and still has a purpose we plan on pursuing for His sake, not our own. We ask for your prayers and support this coming year as we brace ourselves for His ministry to the nation and to the world.

Blessings,
Paul Gentry on behalf of Azimuth
