Happy New Year everybody! 2008 promises to be my most active year yet with 2 albums on the way, one for a salsa group and the other for a soul group. To kick off the year I will be presenting a session on behalf of Zenph® Studios at the annual IAJE (International Association of Jazz Educators) conference called “Art Tatum Plays Again!” Saturday the 12th at 5pm.

Imagine sitting in the same room as Art Tatum while he plays for you on a marvelous concert grand piano. Wild, right? I’ve been a Performance Analyst at Zenph for almost two years now, working closely with the research and coding of these re-performances as well as the first urtext engravings of Tatum scores. I am continually amazed by our work and the implications it has for music education and dissemination.

Here are some pics from the presentation:
