| I've been pretty busy engineering and producing: I recently began mixing material for trumpeter Barry Danielian's upcoming release. His arrangements are simply stunning — an amazing blend of styles, with elements of smooth urban funk, Jazz orchestra, and more. That's Right! — IDK,
the infamous NJ punk powerhouse is back. Bandleader Red finished
up final overdubs on peviously unreleased material that I recorded and
mixed. And there's another on the way, folks!! Water
Street Music has resurrected the recordings of ATB,
otherwise known as The All Terrain Band, engineered by band member
Chris Amelar. I just re-mastered this project for Water Street, so keep
a close eye on their website for its availability. Jazz trumpeter and composer Rob Henke's newest solo contribution features jazz vocalist Grady Stone and a world-class horn section. I recorded this one a while back, but mixes are soon to be completed. I recorded and mixed more music for the audio/visual
creations of 4fiveVI.
These artists work in a multitude of musical styles and techniques, both
composed and improvised, and combine this all live with classic silent
films. For a little change of pace, I went on the
road a bit during 2007 and into 2008: I did some live Front-of-House mixing
for my friend Neil Berg.
I took a few legs of the 2007-2008 and previous season mixing his show
Neil Berg's 100 Years of Broadway. The tour covered nearly 200
cities all across the U.S., in sold-out venues ranging from about 450
seats to over 2800 seats, featuring five of Broadway's finest vocal stars!
Nicki
Denner has re-released her El Medico De Coquí CD.
It features the legendary Julian Llanos, who sadly passed on April 25th,
2008, just after the re-release. I had mixed this a while back, but recently
remastered it for the Consilience
Productions label. I recorded a thrilling collaborative trio
effort called Tricycle,
with band members Rolf
Sturm, Rob Henke,
and Jody Espina,
which will be available in later 2008. Jazz drummer Pete MacDonald brought me in
on a new project to mix some organ jazz for his very first release as
leader. Very swingin' stuff! I was asked to mix material for a 2007 EP called Miles Away, by Michael Cavanaugh, celebrated star of the hit Billy Joel Broadway musical Movin' Out. Andy
Rothstein's latest venture was also released earlier in 2007. I recorded
and mixed this one, and also got to play some B3 organ on it, too. (That
was fun!) I recorded, mixed, and mastered Vinson
Valega's sextet release Awake.
The band's CD debut performance at The Blue Note in NYC was well
attended. Nicki
Denner's Latin Jazz release Moliendo
Café was very well received. I was delighted to record,
mix, and master this for Nicki. I got to play a bit of synth and percussion
before I mixed guitarist Ken
Sebesky's release Hero's
Highway. Tony
Senatore's debut release Holyland,
which I recorded and mixed, and also co-produced with Tony, has been getting
great reviews. I played percussion on this release along side of the great
Manolo Badrena. I recorded and mixed a live-to-video performance
by the Walter Thompson
Orchestra. This amazing long-form piece, which incorporated musicians,
dancers, and actors, was shot in one straight through pass with no breaks.
Even the set up changes between movements were captured in this large
multi-camera shoot, where you'll see me and the assistants in action!
