It's been a great summer!  Keiko Matsui's album "Echo" is now #1 on the Billboard Charts! Also David Benoit's album "David Benoit And Friends" has moved up to the #13 spot on the charts and climbing!  I'm looking forward to a great 2020!

Today I begin mixing a new album for pianist David Benoit. I have had the pleasure working with David on many occasions, including the single "Caminando" with Marc Antoine which held 4 weeks at number one in the Billboard Smooth Jazz chart. You can have a listen here on my music samples page >>

Up Next: After I wrap up recording with Benoit in late June, I am thrilled to begin mixing a new project for the Swedish artist "Py Bäckman.” Stay Tuned!
