Discography

After paying dues in her hometown of Oakland, blues singer Terrie Odabi finally steps into the national spotlight and tells her story onMy Blue Soul. Backed by some of the Bay Area’s finest players, and with Kid Anderson handling production duties, this record is an exposition of contemporary blues with a vintage texture.

A San Francisco Bay Area Jazz quartet, led by composer-guitarist Bruce MacLeod, performing a set of original compositions that showcase modern harmonic complexity and ingenious improvisation.

She has written over one hundred songs and collaborated with Keb’Mo’, Janis Siegel and Cheryl Bentyne (Manhattan Transfer), Leon Ware, Dori Caymmi, among others.

This was a project I did just before leaving Boston and I was really pleased with our playing. It was conceptually through composed but entirely improvised.

This was a single “Heart of Gold” that we did on a compilation album of Neil Young tunes. I did this with the wonderfully creative Tanya Donelly the co-force of the legendary Boston band Throwing Muses.

This recording was the result of a near win at the “Best Unsigned Blues Band” competition in Memphis, TN in ‘2000. Brian Kelley did an amazing job of getting this group down there and back in one piece and we recorded this shortly thereafter. I had such a great time playing with these guys.

This recording was the result of a national competition win in Memphis, TN in 1996. We went in to the Rounder Record’s Studio and recorded this for the Bullseye label.

This was a Boston led quartet recording that I did in the WGBH studios in Cambridge, MA. It features Joel Springer, and Steve Langone.

Part of a compilation album of Bullseye artists. The track on this is “Five Pound Box of Money”

Boston based Haitian singer-songwriter came to Boston via Haiti and New York and has been working on a blend of Brazilian and Haitian Rhythms coupled with Jazz harmonies to construct a very personal sound.

This was a project that Roger Brown put together-before his rise as president of the Berklee Collge of Music. I played on half the cuts and wrote the music on three tracks. We had a great time tracking this out atthe famed  Blue Jay Studios in Carlyle, MA.

Alt Country band Lucky 57, now based in Providence, RI has a rootsy sound and a dedicated following. Influenced by the Likes of Lucinda Williams and Tom Petty.
