Spanner's Dark Boat recieves East Coast Music Award Nomination

Toronto Banff Reunion

This past weekend playing in Toronto was epic. Overnight bus, 12 hours from New York, hanging with the crew from Banff, playing "the most beautiful concert imaginable" (see flyer above), meeting new folks, and working on some amazing music, including Piazzolla's Milonga del Angel, Don Salvador's Tema Pro Gaguinho, Dittersdorf duo for Viola and Bass, Ellington's Isfahan, Sam Rivers' Beatrice, Wayne Shorter's Night Dreamer, Miles Davis' Nardis, and a piece of brand new music composed for this event by Darren Miller.

The only activity that was not checked off of my to-do list was a grand gospel sing-along. Next time, folks, next time.

Organic Sound Lab Sample Library

I have been going through my archives and sampling snare drums, kick drums, high hats, grooves, and other nice sounds to sequence. I am up to 11 kick drums, all sounding different! Thanks to the great drummers I have had the privilege of tracking - Nathan Ellman-Bell, Alan Munshower, Adam Miller, and more.
