11-27-11Happily reporting that I am starting my South American summer, to replace a North American winter! I arrived to Punta del Este, Uruguay on Thanksgiving day, and have already started playing with some bands, and am preparing for a busy "summer" of gigging. I will return to Minnesota a few times when necessary for my day gig, but I will take some vacation, and group my work so that I should be down here quite a bit through March.
In other news, I have two new Sinatra-themed music CD's completed. "Come Fly With Me" is a collection of (mostly) Sinatra classics, with me playing flugelhorn and trumpet over his great orchestrations. Also, I have a vocal version with me singing Sinatra's more upbeat swinging standards. Both should soon be available on iTunes, along with my other CD "It Had To Be You". I would be thrilled to have you check them out, and maybe make a download or two! And, if you want a CD, for now you can email me at ericmusic123@gmail.com and I'll send them out.

Hello fans and friends. My old website server went out of business a few months back, so I'm having to start over with the website. The site should take form over the next few months, and be better and more interactive than ever. So… be sure to check back often!
On August 2nd and 4th, I recorded 17 songs for my upcoming CD. It will be all instrumentals on trumpet and flugelhorn (both of which I just bought!), and I am playing over the great orchestrations that Frank Sinatra used on some of his best ballads. It should turn out to be a very nice, and very easy-to-listen-to CD!
