1. Chopin Preludes 4 and 9 (remastered)
|
Visiting the house of my composer friend Matthew Smith (who has an outstanding CD out now, by the way), I noticed the score to Chopin’s E minor prelude out on the piano. It turns out that his wife, children’s book illustrator and author Lauren Stringer, is taking piano less

2. Nomade ā Clef
|
I don’t usually write jazz tunes, but my friend Todd asked me to write one for him. It sounded like fun, and he had written several great pieces for me, so I took up the challenge. Nomade ā Clef is the result.
Todd premiered it at this year’s Keys Please, with David Edmins

3. Manic Dance (rough)
|
Things may have been quiet on the blog, but I’ve been doing tons of music work lately. The recent round of Zo went well: I took a bit of a risk playing mostly pieces that were fresh out of the practice oven (or, in a couple of cases, still baking), but people seemed to enjoy it,

|
As regular readers of In the Hands know, I’ve been working through my older recordings and applying my up-to-date mastering process ? making them sound better, in other words. As I went through the list, I found that these two recordings make a nice pair. Arranging nice little tr

Perhaps it would have been better if I’d just admitted to myself (and the world) that I’d be taking the summer off from In the Hands. But where’s the fun without the suspense?
Here’s what I currently have in the pipeline (not necessarily in this order):

9. Northwoods Police Report
|
After a cold (which left my voice in bad shape for podcasting) and MinneBar (which was a great pleasure), it’s back to In the Hands! I’m continuing from last time the series of recordings I made recently with soprano Kim Sueoka of songs by Todd Harper.
For several years, T

10. First Autumn Night
|
Here, for the first time in a long time, is something I wrote — but it’s not the music!
A couple of weeks ago, I recorded some of my friend Todd Harper’s songs with Kim Sueoka, a marvelous local soprano who sings with (among others) the Rose Ensemble and a first-rate
