A nice gesture from the The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Nathan James handled the sound mixing, mastering, 5.1 mixes/mastering, and even some of the creative sound design for the soundtrack to the sports-related documentary Betsy & Irv. In addition, this film won at both the Santa Barbara International Film Festival Miami International Film Festival.

Thanks to everyone involved!

If my time in NYC taught me anything about music, it's how we as human beings connect with each other on a profound level and intertwine our lives working through the awesome and infinite possibilities of the medium. Last year I had the honor of mastering a album for Nate Smith that embodies that connectivity and it's due for release next month. Featuring Chris Potter, Dave Holland, Lionel Loueke, Adam Rogers, and Gretchen Parlato and comprising a band with Jaleel Shaw, Kris Bowers, Jeremy Most, and Fima Ephron. Nate was recently interviewed in Billboard and I recommend taking some time to read it, it's great. The album is being released on Ropeadope Records Feb. 3rd and was brilliantly recorded and mixed by my friend and long-time collaborator, Brian Bender. Get it.

I'm back in the studio after a fun-filled two week road trip. The next few weeks are packed with blues, jazz, rock, and classical projects. Looking forward to getting back in the saddle and working with my clients again.

Venues run by music obsessives are cranking up the quality instead of the volume, and bringing acoustic perfection to the public

Both Joey DeFrancesco's album and Michael Kocour's album are represented on the jazz charts, #1 and #18 currently. Not a bad start to 2016!
