Transcriptions Available on JazzScripts

One of the more popular features of every AJC Jazz iteration seems to be the Transcriptions page. Even though I don't have a dedicated page for transcriptions on ajcjazz.com (as of now), all of them are still available over at the JazzScripts Blog page. I recently came across some old transcriptions of mine that never made their way online, so they should be up there soon. Keep an eye out on the JazzScripts page, and drop me a comment if you have the time.

Paula Maya CD Release Scheduled May 7

I'm excited to annouce that Paula Maya's new CD, Iluminar, is being released to the world May 7! It's an awesome collection of Brazilian and world-pop songs, and I'm delighted to be featured on guitar. We'll be playing tunes from the album, as well as a few other crowd favorites, at One-2-One in Austin on May 7, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., and we hope you'll join us!

If you haven't already, I recommend you check out Paula's work on YouTube!

Art and Candy EP in Production

Candy DeClue and I have begun production of a four-tune EP! We'll be recording at Austin's Bear Dog Studios, and have a four-piece band lined up, featuring Daniel Dowling on drums and Dan Durham on bass, with a special guest or two to be determined soon. It's still very much in the production stages, but we're shooting for mid-May recording sessions, with an EP release following soon after. Stay tuned!

AJC Jazz Demo in Production

It's a month for recordings! In support of the ajcjazz.com website remodel, I'll be recording a fresh set of trio tunes in late March/early April. More than likely, this set will not be released on CD, but they will be available for download and streaming on the Listen page.
