Happy New Year! 2010 already promises to be an exciting and productive year! Just yesterday, we have seen the release of Timothy McAllister’s new album Glint featuring the definitive recording of my Duo Sonata. It is now available online exclusively at the Innova Records website with a “street release” date of July, 27, 2010. More details are available on my discography page.

Robert Spring’s exciting new cd Oncoming Traffic also featuring my Duo Sonata is soon to follow on Summit Records. Despite the fact that they contain the same performance, both discs are well worth purchasing as they have completely different programs. I am thrilled to be in the company of such composers as John Mackey, Roshanne Etezady, Kati Agocs, and Scott McAllister!

October 2009 brought the world premiere of Run by the Capitol Quartet. I am happy to learn that they are including it in future performances as well including the North American Saxophone Alliance Biennial Conference at the University of Georgia. This event takes place March 3-6, 2010 and also feature perfomances of my Capriccio by the Mana Trio and Duo Sonata by Jan Berry Baker. I may even be there myself. Plenty of other performances are coming up this season: please see my calendar page for more details.

I also recently received word that PRISM Quartet completed recordings of the 24 one-minute works including my speed metal organum blues composed in 2004 for their 20th anniversary concerts. This set of miniatures, coupled with a new saxophone quartet by Martin Bresnick, is sure to make an exciting disc. Stay tuned for details!

That's all for now! Please check back from time to time. There are plenty of projects and events in the hopper!
