Amazing People who are Invaluable Resources

InsaniTea (and Ingrid Sauer who runs the place)- http://www.insaniteallc.com Ingrid runs a tea shop in Montclair, NJ, and has sub-leased us space for our music studio Make Music Montclair, in addition to countless help to get our studio running. Stop by and enjoy tea (you get to pick from many quirky cups and tea glasses) and pastries (the S'mores are awesome!)

Julianne Karr- http://j-karr.com She did all the photos from my Masters Recital (which I use for press photos.) She has a great blend of artistry with professionalism.

Colin Rieser- http://colinrieser.com He did all the mixing of my Masters Recital Recordings ("Phases of Water" and "Bach Adagio a la Tango"). Very keen awareness of how the composer intends something to be heard.

Jim McNeely- http://www.jim-mcneely.com He's been an amazing teacher and inspiration to me. Find a way to study with him, or take part in the BMI Jazz Composers Workshop.

Musicians:

Publiquartet- http://www.publiquartet.com I've been privileged to work with this amazing quartet on our "Community of the Spirit" gigs in New York. They do everything from Bach and Mozart to contemporary repertoire, and they all improvise (who said strings couldn't imporvise?)
