Mastering a brand new side featuring the Ryan Shultz Quintet. Keep a look out for the final pressing, it is an impressive record with an extremely talented group of players.
Ryan Shultz, Chris Siebold, Karl Montzka, Larry Kohut and Tom Hipskind.
I've been lucky to be a member of Aaron McEvers M13 ensemble for some time now. It was a pleasure to master the upcoming release One Human, Too Human. As well as performing in the group and mastering the record, Aaron asked with help designing the album artwork. He already had chosen an artist to depict the cover art, so I ran with the image and choose a complimenting color scheme to design a very different looking big band album.
This upcoming release will be available on the blujazz label. Check out the M13 website here.
Working with producer Paul Mutzabaugh, Aaron McEvers is in the studio today mastering the debut record for his large ensemble M13. This side is an eclectic mix of progressive jazz, fusion and rock performed by some of Chicago's finest musicians. As a performer in the group as well I am happy to see the fruits hard work come to completion in such an amazing final product.
