Graduate/Undergraduate and International Contest Application A/V Submissions
I have had the pleasure of working with artists on a wide range of college and university applications, as well as contest submissions. I can say that it is beneficial that I was faculty in academics for 8 yrs and have mentored and been mentored by many in the midst of dense/demanding requirements. I say this given the level diligence required to produce and meet the criteria of many of the application requirements and in lieu of the seemingly increasing production demands put on applicants, such as video etc...

Joe Reid provided excellent piano accompaniment for the duet pieces and it is always fun to record dialogue, particularly the explicit/parental advisory type that come from broadway 🎭 , not hip hop:) Miss Saigon, Kiss Me Kate, and others provide the cleverly framed profanity and scandalous lyrics in this case.
Looking forward to working with Sammy in the future and I think it is obvious that Sammy has a Bright Future Ahead of him!

Vocalist Maria Amalia Quesada Chavarria and pianist Jose Arturo Soto Gamboa
Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation Submission 2017
First of Two Videos from the Wonderful duet comprised of Vocalist Maria Amalia Quesada Chavarria and Pianist Jose Arturo Soto Gamboa.
They perform a wonderful arrangement of Bebe, by Hermeto Pascoal for a submission to the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation. I think you will enjoy their interpretation and execution of this great song. Keep an eye out for more great music from these two fine musicians:)

Hope to have Nicholas back when he is ready to make his debut album and always blessed to work with young talent like Nicholas:) |
Nahum Corona - Jazz Quintet Graduate Application Recordings 2009
Sessions were led by the talented musician/drummer Nahum Corona.
Players were highly talented Jazzers that came to the studio set up in minutes. We had them miked and monitored within minutes and they were ready to play!!! 9 complete tracks and 15+ pure drum tracks were acquired in 3 short sessions. Certainly, some of the most mature and professional young players I have experienced. Besides being a pleasure to work with, they all had tremendous command of their instruments. I know they will all go on to have wonderful musical careers! These unmastered tracks in their current state require very little post-processing. First track is a version of "Bemsha Swing" Nahum Corona - Drums Mao Sone' - Trumpet Nori Shiota - Bass Christoph Sauber- Saxophone Dayramir González - Piano The Second Track is "South of Everywhere". Nahum Corona - Drums Javier Rosario - Guitar Hoo Yung Kim - Bass Christoph Sauber - Saxophone Nikolas Anadolis - Piano *Also on the session: pianist -Mina Yu |
