Harry James Off the Record

I had the pleasure of recording horns on Harry’s new record, Off the Record. Be sure to check out the arrangment I made for Hyacinth and Pine. 

Here’s what Dark Matter Coffee had to say about it. “Harry evolves and elevates his sound on the non-amplified electric piano of “Mickey’s Mantle”, and rips some into apocalyptic territory on songs like “Dread of the Day” and “Crusher of Babylon”. His talents as an engineer, composer, and performer are strewn across 16 tracks of beauty, bringing his talented friends Gerald Bailey, Rob Frye, Keefe Jackson, and Dave McDonnell into the fray.”
