​Young Talent and a positive diligent energy exudes from this young pianist Nicholas Ornstein. A pleasure record the Jazz trio with the tasteful and rock solid playing of both Ross and Mark. Nicholas is applying for a scholarship competition as he finishes up at the Concord Academy and begins his applications to prestigious universities.  Surely, they will take note of his musical abilities which support and further reflect his personality and his obviously high aptitude. Hope to have Nicholas back when he is ready to make his debut album and always blessed to work with young talent like Nicholas:)

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!
