WEATHERTUNES
Also, occasionaly I play as a guest on lounge/drum`n bass cds.
Since april 3rd 2009 the long awaited new release by WEATHERTUNES, titled `Palm Beach´, is available - also via iTunes. My acoustic and electric guitar playing can be heard on about half of that cd.
On june 17th 2006 `Beam Me In´, the 4th cd by WEATHERTUNES was released in Japan on the Receptor Tune Label.
The previous WEATHERTUNES work ( `Summer´ ) contained a remix of one of my tunes that you might know from the WE THREE cd `The Drivin´ Beat´: At The Rio Bar (Summer Remix).
This remix has been used on six compilations so far, often in the company of tunes played by artists like Manny Oquendo, Flora Purim, Joe Pass, Chico O`Farrill.
You can find more about this cooperation on the `projects´ page under WEATHERTUNES / LEMONGRASS
