Audiophile progressive rock label Think Tank
Media has just released veteran Stickist Don Schiff's
Peering Over Clouds.
Don's new recording of progressive rock instrumentals features his amazing
signature NS/Stick playing together with
percussion by Greg Ellis, and was produced by
Eric Norlander of Rocket
Scientists fame. If early reviews are any indication, Peering Over
Clouds will give the progressive music world a well-deserved look at
Don's diverse talents as a writer, performer and improviser.
This August 27 and 28, Don will be performing and teaching at the 2005 Southern California Stick Seminar in Oceanside, California (near San Diego). This is a great opportunity to get some instruction from Don on the NS/Stick and Stick, and also to study with Tom Griesgraber and Greg Howard, as well as check out Don, Tom, Greg and special guest Emmett Chapman in concert. Always reaching out into diverse musical arenas, Don is planning two new CDs in the upcoming year, one he says is in the 'smooth jazz' realm and the other will be a vocal CD. And he says Think Tank is working on a Don Schiff DVD. Stay tuned... To find out more about Don's extensive career as a soloist and as a sideman with all sorts of musicians and musical mind, check out Jim Reilly's recent Talking Sticks feature on the standard bearer of the NS/Stick.
