What's New, Recent & Other Publications:

I did the photo, oil pastel, and layout for Joel Futterman's new CD Remembering Dolphy.
It's piano solo explorations of the music of Eric Dolphy.
Music samples (and other photos of mine) at: joelfutterman.com

I also did the cover for Joel Futterman's new CD Albert's Bells.

The music is a collection of recordings that Unity made during the late '70s and early '80s.
