’Twas a pleasure rehearsing and recording a live DVD concert for the Chinese pop artist Jason Zhang.  We arranged almost 30 of his hits, and performed them at the Ace Hotel Theater in Downtown Los Angeles.  Jim and Jeanna Lee were the masterminds of this project.  The band included guitarists Jan Ozveren and Yogi Lonich, keyboardist Peter Adams, and bassist Eric Holden; plus a whole bunch of guest artists and string players.  I look forward to doing more shows with this gang in the not-so-distant future.
