DPA PIANO HORN - ALLSTARS TBILISI - AFTER THE LOVE 04

In the spring of 2010 I had the opportunity to tour with Chrisette Michele, wow what a talented performer she is.  Practically every night we killed it.  This was due in no small part to her backing band, a group of talented young musicians from Memphis, TN called Nujynisis. This was recorded live in Charlotte, North Carolina.  I was mixing on a Soundcraft Vi6 console, one of my favorite digital boards.

IF I HAVE MY WAY LIVE N CNC 22410 01

This was recorded live in at the Four Seasons in Carlsbad, California back in 2009.  I had finished a European Tour the previous day and was hella jetlagged.  This was one of those gigs where I couldn't mix above a certain db level (Pederson).  Anyway this particular recording has become one of my favorites.  By the way, the artist is Rick Braun.

04 HUMAN NATURE-RB71709 01

The AL McKay Allstars are one of my all time favorite bands.  They are dedicated to performing the music of Earth Wind and Fire "all the way live" in the spirit for which was intended.  I really enjoy working with these guys, most of the time as their monitor engineer.  Back in the spring of 2008 i had the opportunity to mix front of house on their European and Asian spring tour.  It was a blast.  This recording is from a show we did in Singapore at the Esplanade which is a beautiful venue.  I mixed this on a Midas Heritage 3000 ( you cant beat analog).  Enjoy.

02-The Pride-ASTRS3908 01

This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite groups to tour with - Les Nubians.  This mix was recorded live at Yoshi's San Francisco in May 2011.  Hope you're ready to get your Africa on!  Enjoy.

Mbengue (A Letter From. . . ) Live 51911 01

A classic song by a classy saxophonist.  Gerald Albright performing "I Stand Accused" live in Kampala, Uganda back in October of 2011.  It was a night to remember!  Enjoy.

I Stand Accused- Live 2011 01.L

Another great song by that amazing group Tizer Sextet.  Recorded in Santiago, Chile back in January of this year.  

Diversify - 11112 01

I will be the first to admit, there's way to much verb on the percussion.  Trust me, it didn't sound that way in the house that night.  It is a board mix after all.  Ok, no more excuses.  That being said, the performance is the sh*t!  This is Jermaine Paul featuring Gerald Albright performing Jermaine's song "Teach Me" live in Kampala, Uganda for the Nile Gold Jazz Safari.

Teach Me - Live 2011 01

This was recorded October 5, 2005 live in Japan.  This is one of my favorite live recordings and a very cool tune.  Along with Gerald Albright on this tune are Tracy Carter on keys, Melvin Davis on bass and Tony Moore on Drums.  Enjoy.

Too Cool

Ok, so I was backing up some old drives today and came across these old mixes from 2002 that my partners and I produced.  At the time I was working at a studio that specialized in recording dialog for cartoons.  This was from a production that was meant to be shopped to cartoon network but never was released, until now.  It features the vocal talents of Billy West an amazing voice actor.  You ever wonder what Fred Flintstone would sound like rapping?  Enjoy.
