Canto do Rio scores available for download, movies

I finally created a PDF book with the complete scores for Canto do Rio, the Latin Grammy- nominated CD of my Quinteto. Full details can be found at this link . I also uploaded 2 video clips of the JSN Quinteto performing live at Symphony Space in New York. The link is here . The films are in Quick Time format. I also have a few scores available for free download at this link . Soon there will be pieces by Hermeto Pascoal as well as my big band and chamber music compositions. I love the Internet...

Recording Academy

I was recently elected President of the Northwest Chapter of the Recording Academy. I am excited about this opportunity to connect further with the music community in our region, which includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia and Hawaii. I encourage those of you who are in the music recording business to consider joining the Academy and take advantage of the benefits to members. Check it out at www.grammy.com , or call (206)834-1000 to speak with the folks at the ofiice in Seattle.

This is my new blog

I recently moved my blog to this new URL. The previous one was getting overloaded with spam messages...I hope to be posting often, so you can see what I've been up to. I also will add interesting links related to music, Brazilian culture and other interesting topics.
