Month: January 2016

I recorded compositions with UNLV musicians from January 16-17 in the UNLV Recording Studios for my debut album “Familiar Stranger.” The compositions recorded that weekend include vocals to Fallen Veneer, Familiar Stranger, Burning Light, and Chase the Stars. Hunter Turner joined me on vocals for Fallen Veneer, and pianist Jae Ahn-Benton and clarinetist Ivan Ivanov recorded Moments Shared, Moments Lost for clarinet and electric organ. Additionally, Tim Jones recorded his parts on vibraphone. Here are some photos from the sessions!

I recorded my compositions with jazz musicians at the Eastman School of Music January 9th and 10th. The recording sessions went amazingly well, and will be featuring five compositions with these musicians on my debut album.

The performers featured are: Colin Gordon, soprano saxophone; Mike Kaupa, trumpet; Wendy Eisenberg, electric guitar; Andrew Links, piano; Tyrone Allen, electric bass; Aaron Staebell, drums.
