July 2023 was a busy and productive month! I spent a couple of days in Sydney Australia, with jazz pianist and composer Rodric White. We met up at the fabulous Electric Avenue studios to record and mix 2 vocal tracks, to be added to his recent release “As Beautiful As Day” .

At Electric Avenue Studios with Rodric White
These are really well crafted songs; an intricate melody, tucked nicely into a complex jazz chord bed and the arrangements are beautiful. A joy and a challenge to sing !
Here are some BTS shots !
