I will be heading back to Rochester, NY to record with a phenomenal 12-piece gem of an ensemble that provided one of the most important musical experiences as a student. The Dave Rivello Ensemble, led by composer and Eastman School of Music faculty Dave Rivello.

The DRE consists of: Mike Kaupa, Garret Reynolds, Charlie Carr (trumpet, flugel); Doug Stone, Alexa Tarantino (sax/woodwinds); Dean Keller (bass clarinet); Mark Kellogg, Brendan Lanighan, Abe Nouri (trombone); Tara Fayazi (tuba); Chris Ziemba (piano); Jeff Campbell (bass); Chris Teal (drums).
