May 24, 2008 - I
just returned from a tour of Japan. Toshi Hiketa (Guitar), Glen
Sobel (drums), and myself did a tour of 5 different music schools
all across Japan, as part of the "Hiketa World Project".
We had an amazing time teaching the students about live performance,
as well as individual bass classes that I taught myself. Click

I played bass on upcoming releases by Chris Cornell & Celine
Dion, and I also shot a music-video with a new band called 'Against
All Will'. Scroll down for more info:
Chris Cornell
- Last week I tracked bass on a song for Chris Cornell. This was
an amazing experience, getting to sit back and watch Chris sing
along to all the drum takes, and listening as the melody of the
song took shape. Stay tuned for more info on a release date.

the CD's that I've played on recently.....

Hana Pestle
- No release date set
just yet, but you will love this album. Produced by Ben Moody
& Michael "Fish" Herring. Composer / Arranger David
Campbell provided the most amazing orchestral arrangements on
the tracks. I played on every song, and we really spent a lot
of time on the bass. I got the chance to get a few different tones
throughout the album using my fretless , 5-string, as well as
my 61' Fender Pbass on many of the songs. Click the banner below
