Hello everyone,
Here’s a new live track from the Jon De Lucia Group, recorded last summer. We’re about ready to mix the record, really looking forward to getting this out there! This is a tune I wrote a few years back, called KJ, inspired by all the Keith Jarrett American Quartet recordings I was listening to at that time. Since we recorded this a week after Charlie Haden passed away, this was in honor of him.
In other news, a show that I participated in has recently come to Netflix. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is the follow up to 30 Rock from Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, starring Ellie Kemper and Tituss Burgess. Jeff Richmond, Tina’s husband, wrote the music and had me play many of the clarinet, flute and alto sax cues. Beyond that, I brought a trio with Mike Kanan and Neal Miner in to cameo in an episode. Here we are:
This was a lot of fun, getting to play Cole Porter with these great musicians and seeing how TV is made. Check the show out now if you haven’t! We’re in Episode 7.
