March 17, 2015—Two SOMD faculty members have released new recording projects, and are already generating positive reviews. 

 

Alexandre Dossin, associate professor of piano and piano literature, recently released a new recording of Bernstein’s Thirteen Anniversaries on the Naxos label. 

 

David Denton, writing for David’s Review Corner, says of the album, “Dossin ideally steers himself through these pitfalls, his abundant technique making little of the challenges posed.”

 

Jazz guitar instructor Mike Denny recently released the album I’ll Think of Something with Greg Nathan on string bass and voice on the Soaring Music Productions label.  

 

Writing for L.A. Jazz Scene, Scott Yanow notes that “Mike Denny is a world class guitarist who has a style that is both gentle and hard swinging.”
