Sessions, Visitations and Donations
The recent Katrina disaster has pulled our attention to our neighbors from Louisiana, but here are a few things that have been going on around ESM:
Drop Trio, the funk/jazz/improv monsters from H-town, came in to master their third album with Allen. "Cezanne" was recorded live at the intimate jazz club known by the same name and is a non-stop 76 minutes of jams and improv's based on songs of thier previous albums "Big Dipper" and "Leap". www.droptrio.com
Joyce Pierce delivered one song to be mastered and added to her contemporary gospel album "24/7 Intimate Praise". Joyce was produced by our good friend, neighbor and client Dan Workman from Dan Workman Music.
New Orleans-based mastering engineer Joe Doherty stopped by for lunch and a studio visit. He told us some of his first-hand stories of the trouble caused by Katrina. He's staying here in the Houston area until officials allow people to return to the Crescent City. Luckily, Joe's home is in a high part of the city and did not sustain any damage, as far as we can tell. Hang tough, Joe!
And lastly, ESM is proud to donate our mastering services to put together the Katrina CD, which will donate all proceeds to help the victims of the Katrina disaster. Please help out and purchase a CD if you can. www.katrinaCD.com
