Big Drums, Big Guitars 
Do we like big? You bet we do. This is a demo excerpt from a promotional TV trailer. It proves the point again that even a modest jazz drumkit can go boom.
Landing Gear
Produced at the Doghouse NYC, a preview of singer-songwriter Abby Ahmad's new record, Curriculum. Landing Gear features Abby's percussive guitar work contact-miked with a pair of headphones to give it the bass-drum-like woof. Also featured is a Portuguese square drum called an adufe. The horn section was recorded off the brick walls of our giant outdoor roof space. Even the reverb comes from our stairwells!
Sunny Strum
Western-style guitars, a piano strummed like an autoharp and a compelling melody make up this lighthearted piece.
Corner Bossa
In memory of an old friend. This track was originally recorded for chanteuse Kim Matsko. The trumpet in the shadows is the late Johnny Parker and Kim kindly allowed Nathan to take a swing at her vocal in salute to the truly one-of-a-kind "Tasty" Parker.
AMBIENCE
Xmas Ghosts 
In part two of the series, the haunting piano is a magical tip of the hat to the three Christmas ghosts. A bed of sound creates an underlying tension.
