"Greetings friends, collegues and music and art aficionados:
I want to bring your attention to a few things. Thru Wednesday of this week a CD that I recorded last fall is "featured artist" in the jazz genre at www.riffage.com. Its a wild journey of acoustic colors with myself on piano and world champion blues harmonica player Chris Turner playing chromatic harmonica. We only drift into the blues briefly on one cut while the rest of the CD moves from French impressionism to free jazz.
Just arrived from the printer is my latest CD: a collaboration with my wife Julie and is available at her exhibition at the Nohra Haime Gallery (57th and Madison) through March 3rd. You can also sample mp3's of this CD at www.riffage.com in the "spoken word" genre under Hedrick Wetzler or at mp3.com, or francemp3.com. And finally I am announcing the official launch of my website: www.soundforms.net. May 1st with a live concert at our church hall in Kingston. A rough form is up currently and it will soon feature curated broadcasts of new musics such as spoken word, microtonal, unusual "world musics", and found sounds of the week.
Looking forward to your feedback.
Best wishes,
Peter Wetzler"
