Interview with Joe Phillips
Here's an interview of me on Joe Phillip's 'Numinous' blog--some thoughts on woodwind doubling and playing his monumental work 'Vipassana'

Great indie-jazz record label!
John Hollenbeck
JOHN HOLLENBECK LARGE ENSEMBLE “Eternal Interlude” (Sunnyside) Profound, imaginative, well-developed pieces for 20 musicians, grown out of jazz and classical music, built around soloists but never subservient to them. As a big-band jazz composer, Mr. Hollenbeck was already good; now he’s become great.
--Ben Ratliff, "New York Times"
Ed Palermo Big Band
"...as Eddy Loves Frank and the previous two Palermo CDs of Zappa's music underline, there is tremendous complexity and beauty in Zappa's music worthy of reconsideration."

Soundassembly
One of the best of NYC's contemporary cooperative large jazz ensembles.
