Michael Vlatkovich and Wayne Peet
Michael and Wayne discussing those little dots on the paper. There are not enough superlatives in the dictionary to describe Michael's music...

What an enjoyable, demanding recording session. Vlatkovich is writing music like no one else alive today...Sometimes it is as if Charles Ives was writing bebop...Messiaen was writing Latin jazz...amazing stuff...the compositions/orchestrations are on such a high level all around: creative, thoughtful, written from a place of knowledge and experience, yet giving musicians freedom. It was a true pleasure and honor to be asked to participate. People on this project: Tom McNalley, Brain Walsh, Bill Roper, Vlat, Peet, me, Harry Scorzo, the list goes on...

William Roper

William Roper
Tubist, Cimbassoist, Euphoniumist William Roper. I've got too many stories about Bill...brilliant, funny, and VERY skilled/creative musician. Ask me about the one involving The Choir Boys and Vinny Golia Large Ensemble at REDCAT...
