My June 2021 Downbeat Magazine Production “Master Class”

May 10, 2021

If you’ve ever been interested in how I approach making records, now’s your chance to get the low-down. I was asked by Downbeat Magazine to write about this very topic for their June 2021 issue.

I cover a whole bunch of my clients including: Analog Players Society x Masta Ace (ft. Donny McCaslin, Orrin Evans, Dezron Douglas and Eric McPherson), Walking Distance ft. Jason Moran, Erik Deutsch & Theo Bleckmann, Jon Irabagon, Dezron Douglas solo, Nicki & Patrick Adams, and more.
