From The Editor
Welcome to ESQuarterly.com, the online presence for Endless Summer Quarterly magazine and Endless Sky productions.
If you're a subscriber you're no doubt enjoying your copy of the latest edition of ESQ featuring the special FRIENDS 40th Anniversary edition with a loving tribute to keyboardist extraordinaire Mike Meros (see Merchandise). Of course, as the cover depicts, there's exciting news for Brian Wilson fans as he readies That Lucky Old Sun for a September release on Capitol Records (see Latest News).
This summer's edition is going to knock you out! I'm excited just talking about it. The issue will be a Dennis Wilson companion edition with complete interviews from Jim Guercio, Gregg Jakobson and John Hanlon that were conducted exclusively for the Dennis Wilson Pacific Ocean Blue - Legacy Edition along with Brian Wilson and Daryl Dragon; with an introduction from Jon Stebbins and closing by Ed Roach. In addition to a really informative read, I'll be producing a new Dennis Wilson tribute CD featuring: Brian, David Marks (with Al Jardine), Dean Torrence, Wayne Tweed, Carnie Wilson, Matt Jardine, Alan Boyd, Paul Steel (with Stephen J. Kalinch), Philip Bardowell, Peter Lacey, Carl B. Wilson and others.The Fall edition will be a wonderful exploration and celebration of Brian Wilson's newest recordings from That Lucky Old Sun, featuring interviews with Brian, Scott Bennett, Van Dyke Parks and members of Brian's band.
ESQ now offers a comprehensive back issues listing as a downloadable PDF file. Go to the Merchandise page to check it out.
Keep checking back for updates.
