Sounds Like: Whether it is playing jazz, blues, rock, ragtime, classical, heavy metal, midi, folk or any combination of styles, I just like playing guitar. I have been teaching now for 28 years and coming up on my 34th year as a professional musician. Over the years I have traveled on the road playing music, been a producer, worked as a studio musician, written comedy, and played every conceivable kind of gig.
I just received the news the excerpts fro my ballet "The Black Gloves" will be performed in Sept. 2008 with choreography by Christine Juraez.
I have just finished my next CD. I like to write and have always loved the way Wes Montgomery played. I thought it would be nice to hear that kind of sound on my tunes. We recorded the drums at Elliot Bay Recording Co. Scott Ross was the engineer. We recorded the acoustic piano at Nick Moore's house with both of us engineering. We used a mic snake from his front room to his studio into MOTU DP 4.6. The rest of the music was recorded at The Ranch. The players involved in this project are Jeff Kashiwa Sax, Nick Moore Piano, Steve Kim Bass, Don Dieierich Drums, and myself on Guitar.I played a gig at Tula's. It was nice being able really play some guitar again in front of a live audience. We were very well received. I plan in the late spring of 2006 to start playing more in the clubs.I produced a CD for Nick Block. We recorded it at Elliot Bay Recording. The session players were Nick Moore on piano, Doug Miller on bass, and Don Dierterich on drums.I produced and engineered a CD for Stella Bonhart. The content was piano/vocals and guitar/vocals.I have also produced, arranged and played on a CD for Deb Sardi. She is jazz vocalist who has relocated to Seattle from the Bay area in California. It features Deb Sardi (vocals), Nick Moore (piano), Doug Miller (upright bass) Don Dieterich (drums and percussion) and myself David O'Suna (guitar). It was recorded it at Elliot Bay Recording (Seattle). The engineer was Scott Ross. It was released early in 2003 and is called "Faces of Love." It can be purchased at iTunes music store and at Silver Platters by Northgate.I have a solo guitar project entitled "ONE." It is done fingerstyle. I used my Thompson dreadnaught steel string acoustic guitar.Writing and arranging music are also a passion of mine. "The Black Gloves", a complete classical work for ballet. (1hr and 45mins long)SONGS FOR WES came about as a desire to play my music in the style of Wes Montgomery. The cover art is by Rachel O'SunaONE is a solo guitar project with just me on acoustic guitar. The Cover art is by Harry Clarke and is a picture of me at 30.THE BLACK GLOVES is music written intended for ballet using the story The Black Gloves.
