Reviews

... a composer who writes music to which performers cannot help but give full measure, as violinist fritz Gearhart and pianist Corey Hamm do in September Elegy. In Soundings, played with colour and verve by Jerome Simas, Steve Vacchi and Hamm, he produces a delicious new sonic environment by setting the two trilling, crooning and rollicking woodwinds against a glittering piano score”
