Return of the Dragon: Oz Noy Brings Live Fire to Sweetwater Studios with Snapdragon

November 20, 2020, Fort Wayne, IN – Oz Noy has created a singular discography of virtuoso instrumental recordings that has won him accolades throughout the guitar community for his deft sense of touch and fearless genre-bending compositions. Always looking for the best way to capture the unique alchemy of his live performances in the studio ultimately led Noy to Sweetwater Studios where he laid down the tracks that ultimately became his Booga Looga Loo album. Eager to recreate the energy of these sessions, the guitarist/composer returned to Sweetwater to record his latest collection, Snapdragon. Out now on Abstract Logix, the album continues Noy’s signature explorations through jazz, blues, and rock with an all-star cast of rhythm sections that were captured live in the studio during a series of Sweetwater Studios Master Class sessions The right room One of Noy’s ongoing challenges has been capturing the improvisational ensemble feel of his live performances in his studio recordings. Eschewing the typical practice of recording in separate rooms with headphones, he prefers a setup that allows him to feed off the energy of his fellow musicians. Not only does this allow him to tap into the creativity of the group, but it gives him total control of the guitar. “If you record guitar and you aren’t in the room with the amp to feel the air moving, it’s very difficult to play,” he explained. “You can’t feel that interaction between the guitar and the amplifier in headphones and it makes things really hard.” When Noy first visited Sweetwater Studios in 2017, he immediately knew that it would work for his methods. The large live room of Sweetwater Studios’ Studio A and its flexible isolation booths gave him the ability to play together in the room with his ensemble while having total quality control of the sound in the room and on record. “The guys at Sweetwater totally understood what I was going for and they had all the right equipment to make my ideal setup work,” he said. “It was such a simple process, all we had to do was plug in and play!” A different class In an added twist to the live sessions, Noy also scheduled them during Sweetwater Studios’ ongoing Recording Master Classes, which allowed both fans of his music and budding engineers to sit in on the tracking and learn the art of recording under real working conditions. Sweetwater Studios Producer/Engineer Bobby Dellarocco remarked that the addition of the built-in audience gave another angle to the performances that helped the album take shape. “With Oz’s style it’s always a performance whether there is an audience or not,” he said. “Doing it this way though, you’re really ensuring that you capture that kind of energy on a track, and it gives the attendees something really special while they are experiencing how a real session comes together.” Part of what made each session was special was that Noy brought different rhythm sections each time he came to record. The players, which included drummers Dennis Chambers, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Dave Weckl, bass players Will Lee, James Genus, and John Patitucci, allowed him to capture different shades and feels of his signature style across the selection of tracks and give each its own sonic identity. “It gave a lot of variety from session to session,” said Dellarocco. “It was really cool to hear the differences, and at the same time once we put it all together it’s all immediately identifiable as Oz.” “I look at all of my records as jazz records in a way, because in the end it’s all about getting different players in the room and just seeing what happens,” said Noy. “When you can get comfortable in an environment like this, it’s effortless to get takes and get some really good music happening.” To hear Snapdragon and for more information about Oz Noy, please visit: http://www.oznoy.com/ For more information about Sweetwater Studios, please visit: http://www.sweetwaterstudios.com/ About Sweetwater Studios Sweetwater Studios is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sweetwater Sound, Inc., the largest online music instrument retailer in the country.

Update: Thursday, Nov 26, 2020: Happy thanksgiving: Renowned Bass Players Showcase Culinary Creativity in ‘Bass Clef Chefs’ Cookbook

LOS ANGELES, CA — Professional bass players are coming together to showcase a different side of their creativity in the new Bass Clef Chefs cookbook. Available in print and digital download, Bass Clef Chefs features the favorite recipes of bass players from around the world who are “cooking on and off the stage.” As touring musicians, these players know the comfort of preparing a favorite dish or whipping up a rejuvenating treat after the show. They also know the power of collaboration in support of a good cause. Fond memories with friends and family helped inspire the pages of Bass Clef Chefs, and all proceeds from sales will benefit the Alzheimer's Association. Bass Clef Chefs began with a group of friends who were stuck inside and trading recipes during the COVID-19 lockdown. These friends are not only bass players, but also love to cook. After some drinks and conversation, they came up with the seemingly "bad idea" of putting together a cookbook. The initial concept evolved into an excellent idea of reaching out to several friends they've collectively made over 50 years in the music industry. The recipes in Bass Clef Chefs span breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and everything in between, from appetizers, soups and salads, to sauces and salsas, and desserts and cocktails. Dietary preferences are also taken into account, with keto recipes submitted by Bubby Lewis, bassist for Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. Some contributors even put a musical spin on their dishes, like “And Justice For Blackened Shrimp” from Dan Kenny of death metal bands Suicide Silence and Animosity, and “Baked Fleetwood Mac and Cheese” by J.D. Pinkus of Butthole Surfers and the Melvins. Adding their professional touch are culinary graduates Julie Slick, bassist for EchoTest and Adrian Belew Power Trio, and Rob Van der Loo, metal bassist for Mayan and Epica. Julie offers her spin on homey favorites, like Buttermilk Drop Biscuits, Springtime Risotto, and Zucchini Feta Fritters, while Rob shares his special training in Indonesian food with Sambal Goreng Tahu and Chicken Satay. “Some recipes have been passed down through generations, some are adaptations of our favorite classics, and some are results of being way too hungry late at night and going for it with what was available in the house at that time. But, one thing is consistent in all these recipes — LOVE,” said Loren Hill, Artist Relations Director for Darkglass Electronics. Hill compiled the project along with the help of editor Karla Mendelson. Love is a common thread not only in music and cooking, but in caring for someone with an incurable disease. While collaborating, the contributors of Bass Clef Chefs discovered another commonality—many have lost a close family member to Alzheimer's disease or dementia. The players resolved that all proceeds from Bass Clef Chefs would benefit the Alzheimer's Association. The book is dedicated to patients and families with the message: “Stay strong. Stay hopeful. And keep rockin’.” The contributors of Bass Clef Chefs invite readers to clear off the counter top, put on an apron, grab a bowl and measuring cup, and get cooking—and don’t forget to rock ‘n roll! Bass Clef Chefs is available worldwide through Amazon’s self-publishing service, in digital download ($19.95) or print ($34.95) Happy Thanksgiving
