What a THRILL to have the one and only and his band record this week ! It was awe-inspiring to be in the studio with these world-class musicians as they recorded tracks for their upcoming album.

What the studio sounds like🎶🎹📝

If you were in the studio with us, this is what you would hear and see during the recording process…isolation of musicians, a click track, some very dry boring sounds. And then you walk into the control room and VOILA! It all comes together.

I got to record with some fabulous guys on this song. Seen here: (piano), (bass), (drums) and (engineer/producer). Not shown: (arranger/co-producer, solo pianist), (guitar) and Scott Wendholt (trumpet).

This was recorded .

To hear the finished song go to the hear now link in my bio. Or, you can find it on any streaming platform.

it’s in your eyes

IT'S RELEASE DAY!!!!

My cover of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" is live on streaming platforms TODAY! This wistful ballad about the all-too-familiar feeling of falling so deeply in love that you lose sight of everything else. I’m thrilled to share my rendition of this1933 torch-song classic, featuring a beautiful solo by renowned American jazz trumpeter Scott Wendholt.

This recording session was a BLAST, with Paul K Ward arranging and co-producing from Portland, working with us live via Session Wire at Bakehouse Studios. Scott recorded his trumpet solo in NY and Paul recorded his piano solo in OR. I send my heartfelt thanks to the incredible musicians who each added their unique musical expression to this song. They are extraordinary and it is a privilege to make music together.

Producer/Engineer - Jim Parroco
Arranger/Producer - Paul K Ward
Drums - Dale Fratianne
Bass Guitar- Chris Hardy
Guitar - Jason Cale
Piano and Hammond Organ - Vincent Gray
Piano Solo - Paul K Ward
Trumpet - Scott Wendholt

I hope you'll download and enjoy the track:)
