Ballads
Brian Dickinson
Produced by Roberto Occhipinti for Modica Music
Recorded by Sydney Galbraith and Modica Music Studio April 26/2022
Mixed and Mastered by Jeff Wolpert at Desert Fish Studio
Released November 1, 2023
This recording was made in the quiet solitude of my home during Covid lockdown. I was fortunate to have a fresh tuning for my Yamaha C7 and the time to spend with these lovely compositions. Although the arrangements are mine, I clearly owe Bill Evans a lot ot debt for “Minha” and “Noelle’s Theme”.
I hope these performances can offer the listener some of the same solace that this process gave me.
Recorded October 12 and 13th, 2020 at Harrison Studios, Port Credit, ON
Mastered by Reuben Ghose at Mojito Mastering
The performances on this recording are dedicated to the memory of Shannon Gunn.
