Hi All:
Check out my "new" website! It's up & running, with lots of SOUNDS to listen to, and additional interesting links.
This new site is a work in progress. I expect to add to it from time to time, and answer any questions that I can to help other Clarinetists.
The wonderful BBoard will still be our valuable tool for communicating ideas, but anyone can use the email on my site for personal attention.
Visit the site at your leisure. Your comments and/or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
JJM

John has the two essentials: a big talent and an amazing amount of hard work. Neither is enough without the other.
Beautiful site.

Good job John.
I've posted my new websiite about a month ago too. It has many articles that have appeared in the Clarinet journal over the years, fingering charts for clarinet and bass clarinet as well as suggestions on playing bass clarinet excerpts which I will be adding to over time as well as many recordings of my live performances on both instruments and even photos of my family and garden, nothing to do with clarinet of course, but it's fun. Check it out. ESP

Great Website Eddie, thanks! Loved the SOUNDS audio clips.
I think "brycon" can get lots of info from your site. I don't think I'll be able to add much educational material to my site. I'm going to answer any personal clarinet questions, or professional ones, but stick to performance playing issues.
Thanks for you support.

Very nice website. I look forward to seeing how it develops. You might consider changing "Filmography" to something like "Soundtracks". Filmography sounds like you are appearing in the movie.

Great site....I had the pleasure of watching/listening to John do his thing during Wicked. Lotsa bass clar in that one.
Question: All of those film soundtracks...are they recorded in NY or do you lead a bicoastal life?

Great web site, John. And yes my question is the same as Allan S...did you record the soundtracks in NY? AND...how much film scoring occurs in NY. LA gets most of the business, but I have always been curious about how much NY does.

Great site! I particularly loved your playing in "Mamaloshen". I just wish we could listen to your sound tracks while we browse the rest of your site.
Very impressive! Now we can all put a face with your name that we see a lot here.

Hi Alseg & rcnelson:
Yes, all the soundtracks that I've listed & played on, were done in NYC.
In the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, NYC got most of the LA "overflow". That is, when a film had a time schedule for production release, and the LA studios were all booked up, NYC was used and many of us her were doing 3-5 movie soundtracks a week! It was great, as many of the movie score composers lived here in NY or close by, and they preferred recording here with us.
The high-point was the mid-1980s, and as many as 200 NYC musicians were doing soundtracks for some of Hollywood's biggest hits!
I don't really know what percentage of the soundtrack recording was done here, but my guess would be 25% NYC, 70% LA, 5% elsewhere, maybe???
I think I stopped counting my soundtracks at about 200+ by 2001, not a bad run for a clarinet player who loves the movies. Keep that dream alive, my young friends...and the rest of you!
Cheers,
JJM

If I may ask 1 more question: how many movie soundtracks are done in NY now? And, John, how many do you do a year? I'm assuming you are still busy with WICKED even after 6 years of it.

Hi rcnelson:
I can't accurately answer you about the number of movie soundtrack being currently recorded here in NYC. I haven't done many lately, and I suspect the numbers of films are way done from past years.
More importantly NYC has seen a rise in the recording of video game scores!
As you know, world-wide, video games are far out-selling CDs, so this is a relatively new industry for live music & musicians.
Here in NYC we have recorded many of the latest game scores, often with small groups and the composer(s) conducting! It's a very exciting new venue here, and LA is also involved big time!
Often the string section is recorded in Prague, then their recording is digitally transferred to our NY studios and we add the woodwind, brass, & percussion tracks as needed.
I can't go into any more detail, as our Union is currently in negociations with the producers & writers of these new video games, so the details are still unclear. I'll keep all of you posted and things develop. Needless to say, keep practicing...there is work out there, and you may be needed!
Cheers,
JJM
