Very excited to announce that the amazing guitar luthier, builder and designer #CindyHulej @cindy_hulej from #CindyGuitars @cindyguitars at #CarmineStreetGuitars @carminestreetguitars is going to build me an amazing Baritone guitar with a body made out wood from #JohnLennon’s early west village house at 105 Bank Street and a neck made out of wood from the nearby 1860 Saint Anthony of Padua church at 155 Sullivan Street.

Coincidentally, Lou Reed’s office used to be on Bank St and Lou (and guitar tech Stewart Hurwood) is actually how I found out about Rick Kelly and Carmine Street Guitars. About 10 years ago I had a Rick build me two Kelly Tellies with wood from the legendary Chelsea Hotel and from Chumley’s (a speakeasy on 86 Bedford St where Hemingway used to hang out and drink), so it’s only a natural evolution and full circle moment that now I have Rick’s protege and pupil Cindy build me one of her amazing custom guitars. Her style is so unique, bespoke and personal and I’ve always wanted a baritone guitar for my collection and for my new studio and I’m honored to have her build it for me! I already have ideas for an album to record with this guitar!!!

Yesterday I went to Carmine St to pick out the wood and the templates for the body and the neck (which we are holding up here in these photos taken by #WilliamSemeraro @williamsemeraro)

The build will start soon and Cindy will document it as it happens, including her fantastic ideas for pickups and bridges which I’ll wait to disclose until we are ready.

It’s gonna be a special build and I’m super excited about it!

Just found out that today we lost another giant.
Jack DeJohnette left us at age 83, after a life dedicated to music with some of the greatest we’ve ever had.

@jackdejohnette_ was a gentle soul and a true master. Many know him as a drummer but he was also a uniquely skilled piano player.

I’ve had the immense honor of recording his solo piano album “Return” for the label #NewvelleRecords @newvelle_records in 2015 at #EastSideSound @eastsidesoundstudio. The album is now sold out and only available on vinyl but it is a gem of a record and it contains a beautiful piece dedicated to Satie (hence this post’s background music).

I’ve had the pleasure to record him again on drums playing with Esperanza Spalding and Leo Genovese for the same record label later that year.

Here he is, collected, focused, pensive and dedicated to his passion for the piano as captured by photographer William Semeraro @williamsemeraro who was one of the few people in the studio with myself, Jack and label owner/producer #ElanMehler @elanmehler
