This summer I've been busier than ever, particularly with my production house PARMA Recordings. We've got a full slate of recording sessions this fall and winter with artists such as Richard Stoltzman, Vit Micka, Gil Rose and the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, the Moravian Philharmonic, the Pilsen Philharmonic, and many more. Visit www.parmarecordings.com for more information.
Dreadnaught is in the studio working on material for a new full-length release, stay tuned for more details. Also check out YANKEE MAGAZINE's profile of the band and our retrospective HIGH HEAT & CHIN MUSIC.
Some albums I've produced that have just been released: STREET DANCE by Patrick Beckman, MUSIC FOR WOODWINDS VOL. 1 by John Mitchell, and PAINTED SHADOWS OF CHILDHOOD by Donald Betts. Also out now are PERSPECTIVES VOL. 2 featuring Richard Drexler, Antonio Giacometti, and more, and NEW AMERICAN WORKS FOR CLARINET VOL. 2 featuring Richard Stoltzman and William Thomas McKinley among others.
This past May I traveled to Slovakia to produce a week of orchestral recording sessions with the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, conductor Kirk Trevor, clarinetists Richard Stoltzman and Kim Ellis, and composers Jason Barabba, and Pete Farmer. We also recorded Copland's "Clarinet Concerto" along with works by Michael Cunningham, Keith Kramer, and David Gaines.
The award-winning "Writers On A New England Stage" series continued this past April and May with Cokie Roberts, Barbara Walters, Louise Erdrich, and house band Dreadnaught. In fall '07, we appeared with Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Russo (EMPIRE FALLS, BRIDGE OF SIGHS) and acclaimed documentarian Ken Burns (JAZZ, BASEBALL, THE WAR). Visit the Music Hall and NHPR websites for info and to hear the performances with yours truly on bass, Rick Habbib on drums, and Justin Walton on guitar.
NH Magazine has awarded Dreadnaught with a "Best Of NH 2007" citation: "The legendary Seacoast band Dreadnaught has released HIGH HEAT & CHIN MUSIC, a two-disc set with selections from their catalogue covering virtually every genre imaginable besides polka and Tuvan throat singing. Ten years of Dreadnaught equals a lifetime of creative output for any other band." (Editor Rick Broussard). Click here for more info.
The new theme music for NHPR's flagship program THE EXCHANGE is on the air! I produced and composed the track, and the music was performed by Dreadnaught.
