Review of Where or When

Basically Baker (2007)

Basically Baker is all David Baker's writing. We were flattered when he chose the BWJO to record his music! This recording got 4.5 stars in Downbeat and was voted one of the top 100 recordings of the decade by Downbeat.

Carol of the Bells (2006)

Carol of the Bells is the BWJO's Holiday recording. Featuring the arrangements of Brent Wallarab and the vocals of Everett Greene this continues to be one of the most popular recordings of the BWJO.

Take the Mitsu (2004)

Take the Mitsu is not a BWJO recording. It is a duo between myself and pianist Claude Sifferlen. We decided to do this project as if looking at a blank canvas. Everything on this disc was conceived in the moment. Claude passed away too soon in 2009 but his legacy lives on in the great recordings he made with multi-reed player Frank Glover.

Heart and Soul (2003)

Heart and Soul features the music of Hoagy Carmichael arranged by Brent Wallarab. It also features the vocals of Washington DC resident Delores King Williams. Jubilee is the sound track behind WFYI's "Art of the Matter."
