JANUARY 2012 Happy 2012! - My year has started off with a bang with a great trip out to LA to visit friends, meet with musicians and composers, and see what the city is like. My last semester has begun here at the University of Miami and come May I’ll be graduating with a Master’s in Studio Jazz Writing. After that, I’ll be taking my quartet (see below) on the Celebrity Eclipse for a 4-and-a-half month contract as we cruise the northern Atlantic, Baltic, Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Should be a blast! Website Overhaul Coming Soon - Coming soon! Watch out for it. Brian Lynch Video - I have the pleasure of performing with the great Brian Lynch in his ensemble at the University of MIami. Here’s a video from our performance at last semester’s Jazz Forum. Ryan Andrews Quartet - A few months ago I decided to put together a quick video demo playing standards with some of my favorite people. Check out resulting videos are in my Youtube Channel. We’ll be sailing the seas in the latter half of 2012 onboard the Celebrity Eclipse. Can’t wait! New Cb Album - My good friend Chris Beckstrom has a new experimental electronic album out under the new moniker Cb (C-flat). Included on the record is a remix of one my tunes from Requiem as well as a remix I did of one of his early film cues (“The Hunter”). Check it out! OCTOBER 2011 Downbeat Article - The Keith Hall Summer Drum Intensive (a summer camp for drummers I’ve worked with since it’s inception 5 years ago) is featured in a nice full-page article in the most recent issue of Downbeat magazine. Check it out! AUGUST 2011 Extended Discography - Here are some recent new releases: John Knific - The Oberlin Sessions - in early 2009, my great friend and brilliant musician-turned-CEO John Knific got myself and his father down to Cleveland for a recording session of all original tunes written after a semester abroad in Amsterdam. The session was a lot of fun, helped in no small part by the great tunes we were playing. Produced by Marc Plotkin (who helped produce my Requiem album) The entire thing is online for free at bandcamp.com and it’s certainly worth a listen! University of Miami Recording Ensemble - Farewell, Rathskeller - the result of a semester of weekly recording sessions featuring the original music of the Studio Jazz Writing department (myself included). The underlying theme is “chamber jazz” and the hybrid ensemble combines jazz and classical instrumentation to make for a unique challenge. My contribution is the first track, “Persephone and the Chimera”, and I’m also the drummer for most of the tracks. This one is also online at bandcamp.com completely free. Gold Company - Who Could Ask For Anything More? - the newest release from Western Michigan University’s internationally-acclaimed vocal jazz group. Features some great arrangements from Darmon Meader, Ly Tartell, Duane Davis and others. In Other News...I performed my first ever solo electronic show at the Union Cabaret and Grille in Kalamazoo, MI over the summer. The show featured a handful of very special guests helping me create a live experience out of many of the electronic works found on ryanandrews.bandcamp.com and some new re-workings of material from my solo album, Requiem. Look out for more to come in this department! ...for older stories, see the NEWS ARCHIVEhttp://www.youtube.com/user/ryanandrewsmusichttp://www.celebritycruises.com/explore/ships/detail.do?shipCode=EChttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6dcL2eD66Uhttp://brianlynchjazz.com/http://www.youtube.com/user/ryanandrewsmusichttp://www.youtube.com/user/ryanandrewsmusichttp://music.chrisbeckstrom.com/album/disk-too-slowRequiem.htmlhttp://music.chrisbeckstrom.com/track/the-hunter-ran-the-chameleon-remixhome_files/drumcamparticle.pdfhttp://keithhallmusic.com/http://www.downbeat.com/home_files/drumcamparticle_1.pdfDiscography.htmlhttp://johnknific.bandcamp.comhttp://marcplotkin.com/Requiem.htmlhttp://umiamirecordingensemble.bandcamp.com/http://wmugoldcompany.com/http://ryanandrews.bandcamp.comRequiem.htmlNews_Archive.htmlfile://localhost/Users/beatz407/Desktop/I%20Don't%20Mind.mp3shapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3shapeimage_2_link_4shapeimage_2_link_5shapeimage_2_link_6shapeimage_2_link_7shapeimage_2_link_8shapeimage_2_link_9shapeimage_2_link_10shapeimage_2_link_11shapeimage_2_link_12shapeimage_2_link_13shapeimage_2_link_14shapeimage_2_link_15shapeimage_2_link_16shapeimage_2_link_17shapeimage_2_link_18shapeimage_2_link_19shapeimage_2_link_20shapeimage_2_link_21
