Steven Katz: News, etc.

After a grueling 6 months of rehearsing and recording in conditions no musician should have to endure, I have completed my fourth solo CD, 500 Years. Unlike my previous projects, this CD is all solo classical guitar music from the early Renaissance through the 20th century. I've also thrown in some bonus tracks. You can hear some selections from the CD by going to the Listen link on this website.

This May, I began designing and building a steel string acoustic guitar. With the help of Gordon Pritchard, the build is moving along well and I hope to complete it by the end of June. I'm calling it a JOM (jumbo orchestra model) and have started to upload pictures on my "photos" page. Check it out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My latest CD, " In The Garden Of Earthly Delights" was released on December 6, 2009. CD's and downloads are available NOW. I'm very excited about this project and I hope you all enjoy the Middle Eastern influences. It has been a lot of fun writing and recording it.

I've begun work on stripping my CD, El Viajero, down to it's bare essentials. This is something I've been wanting to do for quite some time and it's sounding leaner and meaner. Listen to one of the tracks and let me know how you like it. You can purchase downloads from MY MUSIC STORE by clicking on the link here.

It has become much easier to accomplish virtual session work and production than ever before due to the ability to mail or email wav, mp3 or redbook standard reference files.

For those of you interested in having me play on your recording or need assistance with the production of your project, please contact me about this service.

I've been collaborating with St. Croix luthier, Gordon Pritchard , on the bracing for classical and flamenco guitars. The first prototypes are finished and sound amazing. Listen to the soundclips from my upcoming CD on the music page and visit his website.
