It's been a while, I know... What have I been doing?

New Album update
In July I returned to the studio to record tracks with percussionist, Tim Bolling. This month I'm working with mixing engineer, Gary Mankin, to bring the production to a new level of excellence. Here's the schedule for the new CD release:

Mixing of the new album will be completed September
Mastering & artwork will be done October
Pre-sales of the album will begin late October
CDs should be ready to ship in November

If you'd like to hear a preview of the album, there's a montage of 30-second samples from every tune on the album posted at: www.smoothjazzpiano.com

Solo Piano Album update
Also... I recently finished composing music for the solo piano album I plan to release next year. This means the sheet music will be available at the same time the CD is released. Next month look for 3 preview pieces from the solo album on Pianopodcasts.net
