Album Credits (as a sideman)
Write Me Back
Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter and producer R. KELLY, will release his 11th studio album, Write Me Back, on June 26TH (RCA). Write Me Back is the follow up to 2010's critically acclaimed Love Letter, which celebrated the music of the 50s and 60s. The new album represents the natural progression of Kelly's musical time machine, recalling the sultry and seductive sounds associated with such icons as Barry White, Marvin Gaye and Teddy Pendergrass, among others. Like its Love Letter predecessor, Write Me Back is also a celebration of love. (RCA, 2012) You & Me
The album You & Me by the band Lady, is a concept album about relationships. Just like most relationships, the CD has many different layers and textures to it. I am sure that everyone can relate to trust, hopes, dreams, fear, and sometimes pain that can be experienced through a relationship. All of these can happen at the same time, making a relationship complex. Because of it's nature, questions can arise from one party to another. Within the new release "you & me" the band Lady has opened up their collective soul to explore relationships and the questions that come during the good times and during the end times. Each song is ether asking a question or answering one about the relationship, to the enjoyment of all of us to hear. (Ropeadope, 2011) Majik Music Mantra
13 original Jay Mage songs that will take you on a journey with its folky roots and esoteric arrangements. Also available on vinyl and mp3 formats. (MageWorks, 2010) Tony Caruso's Final Broadcast
Paul Salerni’s award-winning opera with a libretto by Dana Gioia takes place in a classical music radio station on the last night of its operations. Its last program, ‘Opera Lover’, is hosted by Antonio Caruso, who remembers his early dreams of artistic fame as the ‘second Caruso’ and is visited by three ghosts—his dead mother, Maria Callas, and a mysterious woman. Praised for his ‘resplendent vocalism’ (AmericanRecord Guide) and his ‘lusciously sweet voice, with its ringing, perfectly-tuned high notes’ (Opera Now), the young tenor Eric Fennell sings the title role. (Naxos, 2004) In The Weird Small Hours
Inspired by Frank Sinatra's In The Wee Small Hours, Phil Roy has gathered a collection of songs from writers whose narrative moved him in the same way but with modern sensibilities. The release includes songs of Ryan Adams, Elliot Smith, Radiohead, The Eels, Conor Oberst, Joseph Arthur and others. (R.E.D. Distribution, 2009)

Alone Together
Today, UK emerging singer-songwriter DALEY makes his official US debut with the “Alone Together” EP via Republic Records. Captivating listeners and new fans with his unique and invigorating soulful voice the London native has been buzzing since the release of his 2011 mixtape “Those Who Wait.”
The first single stateside, and title track “Alone Together,” is a sultry collabo with fellow UK native Marsha Ambrosious. While his current UK single, “Remember Me” featuring Pop star and label mate Jessie J, is a funky, headboppin’ jam, showing the diversity of Daley’s undeniable talent. (Universal, 2012) Spirals and Lines
Spirals and Lines is a consistently colorful and intriguing set by the very talented singer-arranger-composer Kayle Brecher. Exploring the sound of brass with voice in the unique ensembles, she also utilizes the remarkable sousaphonist Jimmy Parker, guitar, piano and drums but no string bassist or reeds. Performing sophisticated and often-political lyrics that are universal and topical, Ms. Brecher displays a highly expressive voice with a wide range, a deep understanding of the lyrics and a joyful scatting style. This is a CD that certainly rewards repeated listening. (Self Released, 2012) At This Time
At This Time features ten new breathtaking compositions by Philadelphia jazz stalwart, Norman David. His band, The Eleventet, is comprised of the top jazz artists in the Philly/New York region, including Dick Oatts,George Garzone, Tim Hagans, Tom Lawton, and John Hébert. The performance is electrifying, with crisp ensemble work and monster solos. The album is available, either on CD or as a digital download, at CDBaby, iTunes, Amazon, and all other major online stores.(CoolCraft, 2011) Science & Advice
Science & Advice is the first LP released by The Armchairs, a local Philadelphia rock quartet. This album is a mind-bending variety show of breezy psychedelic tunes, jaunty British Invasion hooks and lysergic instrumentals. (Punk Rock Payroll, 2010)
Chasing Another Sundown
Kasper’s Chasing Another Sundown is such a beautiful, varied collection of songs that it’s almost impossible to describe them. They stylistically clip everything from ballad and bluegrass to crooning and folk, yet there is an idyllic sense of purity to each. (ChrisCasper, 2009)
