Night Reign is released and grabs two Grammy ...

Recorded in late 2019 at Flux Studios NYC, the early post-production and sound design for this album was my personal soundtrack to the first days of the pandemic.

Loving layers of sonic glitter; applied by hand, in long real-time passes. Tape and stranger echoes. Tape loops. Granules. Distortion. LFOs. Modulation of every sort. These were my sanity during those challenging days.

Now, the record is OUT. It is here. You can listen to it. I suggest you do!

Sometimes great music breaks down all the barriers. Arooj is a good friend and I couldn’t be more pleased with her Grammy win: Best Global Music Performance for “Mohabbat”!

This album was a joy to mix for Dolby ATMOS and to master for CD, digital and vinyl releases!

Christian McBride & Inside Straight - Live ...

Christian McBride & Inside Straight Live at the Village Vanguard is Christian McBride’s twelfth release with Mack Avenue Music Group.

This recording can be thought of as a companion to the GRAMMY® Award-winning Christian McBride Trio Live at the Village Vanguard album released in 2015. Inside Straight is the quintet that inaugurated McBride’s collaboration with Mack Avenue Records (releasing Kind of Brown in 2009).

I recorded both live recordings of the bassist leading these two ensembles occurred in a consecutive two-week period in December of 2014 – a rare engagement offered to only the most venerated jazz artists by the most venerated jazz club in America.
