Commentary:

Just got back from my nephew’s wedding in Kansas City and we’re exhausted! It was a great time – with skeet shooting (!) in the morning and a beautiful marriage ceremony in a historic prairie chapel in the afternoon. We couldn’t be happier for them. Congratulations to Brian and Amanda!

SHAMELESS PLUG DEPT.

Want to hear an example of Brian’s work? As you may know, he engineered my CD, Rodger Coleman & Sam Byrd: Indeterminate (Improvisations for Piano and Drums) and it sounds AMAZING. You can stream it at NuVoidJazz.com or click on the link below to order the deluxe CD. It’s also available for download at iTunes and all the usual places—but if you really want to dig the sonics, go for the CD. Thank you for your interest and support!
