Recession

The other night friend and talented vocalist Marley Dzis brought me and some other Northwestern University Jazz cats to a studio to record some joints for her demo. She was kind enough to give the band some extra time to record one of my original compositions entitled "Recession".

Album Art

I've always been very attuned to album art. Those of you who have been *lucky* enough to be invited over my place know that I have some of my favorite's hanging on display, making the whole interior design process effortless. After some recent trips to the Art Institute I thought it'd be cool to electronically display some of my favorite works.

So, in no particular order:
(check out how some of them relate to or may have inspired latter ones)























(also: if you don't have any of these records you need to get them!!!)

On the Radio... for real this time.

Kinda funny because a couple months back I was writing about how I was "kinda" on the radio, but lately my music actually has been making it onto stations across the nation so I just wanted to give some shout outs to some of the Djs and stations that have been supporting me and playing some of my tracks.






so call up your local DJ and request KEN ROSS so that your favorite station can make it onto kenrossmusic.net!!! Wouldn't that be something...
