    recap

    Hey Everyone,

    So a ton has been happening over the last few weeks. I am really excited that some new music of mine will be released on Nov. 17th through Porter Records. It is a new tune of mine called “the Orchid Room” and it will also come with a special re-Edit of the tune by Carlos Nino and Jesse Peterson. I am really happy with how this song came out and I want to write a few more tunes in the direction that this tune is going (maybe some with various vocalists?). The tune features Joey Dosik, Marcel Camargo, and Dexter Story.

    I also have a track on Gilles Peterson’s new Brownswood Bubbler compilation which you can pick up here: http://brownswoodrecordings.greedbag.com/buy/brownswood-bubblers-six/

    I have a new project with singer Connie Lim where each week we go on a hike somewhere and write a new tune. We have done this for two weeks now and have written two tunes. We are planning to record a EP when we have enough tunes and we are documenting the progress. Here is what recorded of the two tunes that we have written:

    It was also very exciting that I was interviewed by the LA times for a big article that was on the front page of the calendar section about the night that I am musical director for the Bardot Sessions. I am so proud of this night and everyone involved with it. You can check out the article here:

    Lastly, I had the pleasure the last week of working with Sam Barsh (www.barshmusic.com) while he was in LA working on some stuff. We did one gig at Angels with Gene Coye and some special guests and you can check out some clips soon at my vimeo page (www.vimeo.com/nickrosenmusic). We also did a fun writing session with Anthony Valadez that he documented very nicely, check out the video here:

    Alright, that’s it for now,

    peace,

    Nick
