Recording In the Works

    

               SO its official I am recording an album in April. This album is going to be a duo album with all my friends that live in New York, well most of my friends that live in NYC. SO there will be sax/drum, trumpet/drum, drum/drum, and I'm thinking of piano/drum and maybe vocal/drum duos. The tunes will be a mix of free and composed tunes with a few surprises thrown in during the heat of the battle. I'll be keeping a blog (http://dericdickens.blogspot.com/) as I deal with pre-production through post-production. So here we go..
