First Master Class video out, plus new releases

March 25, 2022

Excited to announce that the video of my first Master Class, “How to Produce and Mix Your Own Music,” is finally available via JazzHeaven.com. Follow along as I walk about producing and mixing on your own and as I mix a great track by the great bassist Alexis Cuadrado.

New releases:

Paraphrase, the new duo record from pianist Nicki Adams and tenor saxophonist Michael Eaton via Steeplechase records. Stream it here.

Substrate, the new duo record from my compadre alto saxophonist Caleb Wheeler Curtis and pianist Laurent Nicoud is a real nice one that I mixed and mastered. Stream it here.

Also check out “Mon Cheri,” the new single from Juilet Varnedoe. It’s a great mix of genres and features Clark Gayton on brass, Jon Dryden on accordion and Konrad Meissner on drums. I play the bass as well and produced and mixed it. Buy it from BandCamp here. Stream it here.

Finally is the live single “January” from my man Paul Josephs. This is a great performance of a great song which I mastered (with a great deal of re-balancing.) Stream it here.
