Last night I had the best seat in the house for the best concert in the city: Bevan Manson and band playing jazz in the studio: L-R, composer orchestrator and pianist Bevan, organist Brian Charette visiting from NYC, Brad Dutz on percussion, Santino Tafarella from Santa Barbara on bass, and me as recording engineer. Thanks to Marc and his Greene Room Studio. Fantastic!

Nice to work with composers Scott McRae and Ryan Rapsys in the studio, with director Hawk Jensen. Subin Jeong played the Korean kayageum, for a documentary on North Korea.

Are you into contemporary classical and minimalist music? It's exciting to see that this groundbreaking album is being released again.

I don't remember whether it was ever available on vinyl; my copy of the finished album was on CD. This could be a new interesting listening experience for that reason also.
