My photo in The Power of Jazz by John Watson!

March 9, 2010

“The Power of Jazz” is a first from UK photographer/writer John Watson. It
features over 140 photos of jazz legends, great players and rising
stars, plus a chapter on music photography. Several of the photos are
‘impressionist’ images, using motion and other techniques for effect.

It’s a limited edition coffee-table hardback on fine art paper, allowing the best possible print quality, very expensive, but worth it for a good photographer.

To preview the entire book,  click on www.blurb.com/books/1221024
Click on the thumbnails to enlarge any page (including, of course, Page 37 – where you will find me right opposite Kenny Davern). You can see the whole book by clicking on
the right arrow at the side of the thumbnails, but because it is
high-resolution it takes a while to load.

New CD, Carol Sudhalter: The Octave Tunes

December 13, 2009

This brand new CD, “Carol Sudhalter: The Octave Tunes“, (Alfa Music,Rome), features thirteen great tunes (both standards and originals) all of which begin on the interval of an octave. Two of them are familiar Christmas songs,
1. Let it Snow! Let it Snow!
2. The Christmas Song (“Chestnuts Roasting...”)

This link should bring you to all the specific information about the tunes: the song titles, composers, and the artists who play with me on them.  Among these brilliant musicians are Vito Di Modugno, Hammond Organist from Bari; masterful pianist Carlo Barile, only 18 at the time of the recording, already an accomplished classical organist. Two wonderful vocalists, Elena Camerin and Marti Mabin.  This link should bring you to a page where you can see the CD label image and hear some samples [Crazy He Calls Me, Alice in Wonderland, and Let It Snow]. Wait a few seconds for the page to load, and see samples on right hand side. When Alice in Wonderland and Let It Snow begin to play, you will see the CD label design.

Below is an order form. You can print it out, and send back with check; or make a paypal payment to Carol Sudhalter (sudsax@aol.com), and send me an email telling me you did so, along with mailing address information.

Cost of the CD is $20.00: this includes shipping and handling, as well as my expense to ship them from Rome.
