I've been doing live shows and a radio shows with a friend of mine, Jordan Rodu.
I met Jordan at work one day. We started talking and he mentioned that he has a Masters in conducting. We talked about the high demand for conductors in today's job market and he went on to say he owns an Opera company and plays Viola. I invited him to check out some tunes because I needed Viola on a few.
Turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made on this album.
Why? It's easy to meet musicians - they're all over the place and everyone is looking for a band. However, it's rare to meet someone that you truly connect with, have great chemistry with - and that's Jordan.
He received his training via the Suzuki method so he has a great ear. He plays what makes sense for the song and has a very intuitive, lyrical approach. He thinks about song structure and arranging when he plays. But again, the best part is the chemistry - we connect when we play and he has a feel for what the songs need.
Jordan plays on 4 tracks that appear on Phantom Heart.
