German drummer Andy Gillman has published a new book called Jazztraining featuring a DVD with practice and playalong tracks. The playalong tracks can be heard with and without recorded drums. I recorded and mixed the seven playalong tracks at Hansahaus Studios in Bonn, Germany. The book is available via the German Leu Verlag.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! I’m excited to announce that I’m going to extend my work experience in the USA thanks to an O-1 extrodinary ability visa sponsored by Audio Engineering Associates. This will allow me to continue working for AEA as product development engineer while also continuing my work as a recording engineer and mixer at Firewater Studios. I’m very much excited about the projects that lie ahead of me and look forward to returning to Southern California at the end of March. In the meantime, I’m available via e-mail and my German cell phone number.

The end of the year is a busy time in terms of mixing for both Patrick K and Andy Gillmann’s Jazz Lokal quartet. Four new songs for Patrick’s new album will be finished by the end of this weekend. The mixes make extensive use of the fine selection of analog compressors and equalizers at Firewater Studios. Andy’s project was recorded by Christoph Sapp in Germany and features Andy Gillmann on drums, Bert Fastenrath on electric guitar, Carsten Stüwe on organ, and Martin Zobel on trumet and flugelhorn.
