Reviews of recent records - May 2009
Summer rolls in and so do the reviews of recent records and festival season! Here's the verdict on two of the recent releases I engineered, edited, mastered, and co-produced with the performers:

Amy Porter, flute "Passacaglia" (Equilibrium 82)
"This is outstanding...It is truly remarkable playing when you consider that she finished the entire recording in just two days....Recording engineer David Schall also deserves high praise for capturing solo flute without the usual reverb or fussiness. A must buy." - Christopher Chaffee, American Record Guide July/August 2008

Kenneth Tse and Nobuya Sugawa, saxophones "Stellar Saxes"(Crystal Records CD359)
"All but the Hindemith are premiere recordings. The heroes of the disc, Tse and Sugawa, have inspired a deal of repertory over the years and are to be warmly commended for this and for their outstanding contributions on what turns out, on closer inspection, not to be a grandstanding disc title after all. Excellent recorded sound and full booklet notes round off a saxophonic feast." - Jonathan Woolf, MusicWeb International, May 2009

I also recently completed mixing, editing, and mastering on Clara George's "Organic Music for Kids," slated for independent release next month. Clara is a brilliant singer/songwriter and a good friend, and this record returns a large collection of classic children's songs to a fun, natural, and enduring state.
