Map of the Heart

 

I’ve started work on a new recording project called “Map of the Heart.” It’s a collection of original, contemporary songs at the intersection of jazz, classical, and world music.

Featuring:

Linda Tate, Vocals

Carmen Llop Kassinger, Violin I
Carol Kalvonjian, Violin II
Benton Wedge, Viola

Recorded and Mixed by Scott Steinman, Studiomedia Recording Company at Electrical Audio, Chicago, IL, August 20, 2015

This project is partially supported by an Individual Artist Program Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events, as well as a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency through federal funds provided by the National Endowment for the Arts.

I will be returning to Vicky’s of Santa Fe in Indian Wells, CA on Monday, January 19, 2015 from 7-9 pm for a performance of my original songs and a few selections from my first three albums written by some of my favorite composers. I have some new unrecorded material I have composed recently which I will perform as well, so if you will be in the California area, I hope you will join me and a killer band for an outstanding night of music.

New Music Video On YouTube

 

I spent most of the summer working on the first music video for the Geography album. It is based on a song I wrote in Spanish – Cuando Tendremos Paz (When Will We Have Peace). You can watch it on YouTube and you can download the song and the album from my BandCamp store. It features murals from around the city of Chicago and a cast of more than 30 friends and family members. Anthony Rizzo was the director/cinematographer/editor, and the project was partially supported by a Community Arts Assistance Program grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
