Eclectic Sessions Round Out The Year at BiCoastal Music

BiCoastal Music, the beautiful Russ Berger-designed studio located just under an hour outside Manhattan (Ossining, NY), got an extra shot of soul to finish out ’09, hosting tracking sessions with NYC-based “urban folk & jazz” singer KJ Denhert.

BiCoastal's 30 x 25-ft live room with its 22-foot vaulted ceiling and New York Steinway Model "D" Concert Grand Piano.

Producing the sessions herself, Denhert recorded new material with keyboardist Etienne Stadwijk (Herbie Mann, Richard Bona) bassist Francois Mouton (Michel Portal, Jed Levy), and BiCoastal owner Hal Winer engineering.

Singer/songwriter Rose Reiter also did some tracking at BiCoastal in December, working with producer/drummer Joe Bonadio (Chris Botti, Martin Sexton) and Winer engineering, keyboardist David Sancious (Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel) and guitarist Oz Noy (Mike Clark, Gavin Degraw).

Winer also recently engineered sessions with artist/bassist Malcolm Gold (Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Dan Zanes) who was in tracking with Bonadio on drums, guitarist Matt Beck (Matchbox 20, Lisa Loeb) and keyboardist Clifford Carter (James Taylor, Art Garfunkel). Venezuelan flutist Marco Granados also booked time at BiCoastal, recording new material with engineer Charlie Post.
