Hello friends!

Recently, I released three brand new albums. Yes, three!

The first is my second Christmas album entitled “Once Upon A Christmas Star”. This collection features a combination of contemporary instrumental mixes as well as a few classical arrangements. You absolutely have to hear “Snow Waltz” (better known as “Schneewalzer”) to imagine how I’ve brought it into the 21st. century. There’s also really great versions of “Angels We Have Heard On High”, “O Christmas Tree”, and “The Winds Of Yule (Carol Of The Bells)” to be heard. And, a very special guest vocal by my friend Harry Grillo on “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”.

The second album is “AD ASTRA”, featuring the entire Gustav Holst “Planets Suite”. The “Planets” has long been a favorite of mine. I reinvented Hoslt’s master work, recreating the seven movements to include New Age and Rock & Roll textures. “MARS The Bringer Of War” is ramped up into an unrelenting, pounding juggernaut while “VENUS The Bringer Of Peace” has become dreamy and ethereal. Holst inspired several new compositions, including the dark and foreboding “PLUTO The Bringer Of Change” and the mystical “SEDNA Inuit Mother”. Sprinkled throughout are many classical works and two choice soundtrack pieces written by John Williams.

The third new album is “Yesteryear Classics” filled with music from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Carnival-like in feel, this set includes timeless and unforgettable classics such as “Come Josephine, In My Flying Machine”, “Alexander’s Ragtime Band”, and “Daisy Bell (A Bicycle Built For Two)”.
