Dear All,
On October 23rd, I'm headed back to school - for a master class at my old stomping ground, the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami.
Their world-renowned jazz piano department, (now under the direction of acclaimed pianist and educator Doug Bickel), has turned-out noted artists like Bruce Hornsby, Gil Goldstein, Gabe Dixon, and the list goes-on, (including ME)!
Check-out what this legendary music school has to offer by clicking on the photo above.

From KEYBOARD MAGAZINE:
"For our July 2009 cover story, multiple Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Rob Thomas invited Keyboard contributor Jon Regen into his home in upstate New York, where the two spent the afternoon in the home studio where Rob creates all his demos. We're especially jazzed about the results. Why? Well, it's one thing for a major pop star to wax philosophical about their "creative process" in an interview - that happens all the time. It's much rarer when they fire up the DAW, load some patches on their synth, and show you how they face down a blank arrange window. That's exactly what Rob does here. For more insights into Rob's new album Cradlesong, don't miss the July 2009 issue of Keyboard!"
From JEFFERSON STOLARSHIP:
"Here are seven covers of Journey’s masterpiece “Don’t Stop Believin’”, one for each day of the week. Jon Regen’s is the most interesting of the bunch, a jazzy take that reminds me of Marc Cohn at his best."
I'm happy to announce that today marks my first published review for BILLBOARD - Allen Toussaint's wonderful new album THE BRIGHT MISSISSIPPI.
Check it out by clicking the photo above.
More soon - and thanks for reading!
