This is the first of two records that I did last May. These albums feature original music for my trio and sextet- played at a level I couldn’t have even imagined, by Erik Jekabson, Adam Shulman, Andrew ZImmerman, John Wiitala, and Hamir Atwal. The records were recorded by Ian Pellici at Tiny Telephone in SF, and mastered by A.T. Michael MacDonald in NY. I’m absolutely thrilled with the work both these guys did, and we have ended up with a couple of real jazz records, done live in studio, no overdubs, no isolation, all good and in the moment and full of life. The music was recorded and mixed to tape, so it has that classic warmth that is missing from so many of today’s records.
There is lots of music on the “Listen” page, and it will be updated frequently. Some of it is not and will not be commercially released, so enjoy it here…OR NOT AT ALL!
