Diki was kind enough to send me a sample of a completed project he produced for a young sax player. It's in the Dave Koz style...smooth jazz, as far as approach, and Diki has every right to be proud as hell about his work.

I do lots of sound track work for large organizations, and I'd be proud to have him as co-producer on any of my work. In fact, we're going to do a joint project when the right one pops up.

The guy sometimes comes off as opinionated, but he really "has the goods". In fact, I'd put him in the top 5 here in terms of music and recording expertise, raw talent and experience.

I appreciate his valuable contributions here.

Me too

Thanks, guys. Slight correction, though. I didn't 'produce' this one, a good friend of mine, Shannon Wallace was producer. I did all keys and key arranging on this one.

Check out http://www.michaeljthomas.net/ for audio clips and a video. Live bass and drums and guitar (before anyone accuses me of buying an Audya!), but all keys were a combination of the G70, my K2500 (strings, mostly) and the odd software sound (Atmosphere). But mostly it's G70...!

Enjoy!

Diki - I knew Michael enlisted the strongest players in town on his team! You did a terrific job for him! Great work all around! You and your G-70 (and Michael!) ROCK!

Start packing, Diki. That's an offer you can't refuse.

That's some great music. Thanks!

Russ, I must admit I did a double-take when I read the topic. I was wondering what kind of surprise you were getting from a . . .never mind.

Hey Diki,

Very cool stuff! In what part of Florida do you live? I'm heading that way on October 29th from Cincinnati on my way to Captiva. I'd be into making a side trip if it isn't too far off the Captiva express.

Good job again on the keys and sounds.

Best Regards,

Dave

Damn you, Mason! If you weren't so cute (and funny), I'd really be pissed (LOL).

Very tasty, stuff, Diki....of course, I expected nothing less.

Great job.
