CARMa Quartet Album
I am heading back in to the studio with my band, the CARMa Quartet. This group consists of two grammy award winning musicians including harmonica legend, Peter "Madcat" Ruth and John Churchville on the unique Tabla / Drumset. Rounding out the quartet , along with myself, is bassist extraordinaire Brennan Duncan Andes who has played with and led some of Michigan's most critically acclaimed and top drawing bands.
We will be working on this album throughout the winter and into the spring. It is honor to share creative studio time with these incredible musician's. It still amazes me that I am working closely with artists like Madcat who has recorded and toured with jazz legend Dave Brubeck in the 60's. The end product will be an incredible consolidation and cross-polinization of each of our decades long curated music styles.
Here are some short clips if the CARMa Quartet Album in progress.
Ripke - Instrumental Album
I have also been working on a solo- instrumental album at Ripke Studio. This "Solo" album will have a few featured guest musicians and will criss cross many different sounds, genres of music, and moods.
