We just had two rehearsals for the recording and I am long overdue for a good nights sleep but I wanted to mention how thrilled I am with the band. They continue to blow me away and I am honored to have them play my music! This has truly been an amazing experience and I am really looking forward to going into the studio this weekend!

I am very excited to announce that clips from our performance at Manhattan School of Music on March 28th 2010 are now available on YouTube! I am so greatfull to all the musicians who donated their time to be a part of this special evening. The recording sounds incredible. Also a big thank you to the recording department at MSM who did a fantastic job mixing. Click here to watch YouTube clips of the performance!
