The Freddy Mercury Tribute 1992 (jj on organ above Spike Edney)

My Times

The months continue to hurdle past between updates. Is this a blog?

Over the hill in Burbank at Drumroll we've worked on a multitude of sessions and improved our Studio.


My Album One moment In Time is now available at Apple iTunes, Mp3Tunes and many other fine Internet music Stores.

Go to JJ on Myspace to hear a track from my new album TWO and a Letter to John Lennon from the past...


The Jack Dill Project is nearing completion. Jack has a link to an MP3 of one of the Mixes at his site and on Myspace.

The Band are Steve ferrone, Nathan East,Steve Postell, John Jones and Jack Dill.
He's a super talented guy and totally worth checking out.

Fellow Drumroll partner Steve Postell has released an Album of his own music and it is truly brilliant. Check it out!



The honorable Neil Peart was in recording Drums and doing a Voice Over for a character on Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
I engineered the session with the help of Sabian's Chris Stenke and the show's Director on a Cellphone from Atlanta.
The episode aired in September and included the Drum Solo of Life.

Neil also found time to Make A Wish come true for an aspiring young drummer who got to Jam with his idol after a drum lesson in the studio.



The good news is that the Subdudes and Harold Brown of the Lowriders and War escaped Hurricane Katrina.



Late in November Drumroll Productions (Steve Ferrone, Steve Postell and John Jones) finished the first tracks for
New Artist Erin Toland.

This time the band was Ferrone (drums), Postell (guitars), Jones (keys), Mark Brown (bass) and Erin on Guitar and Vocals with a guest appearances from Jason Weber on Sax and Jack Dill on Vocals.

I played Wrapped Around Your Finger on Piano with Richard Martinez last week at a fundraiser for The Boys and Girls Club of Hollywood at the John Raitt Theater in Hollywood.
Wonderful Pianist/Organist Christoph Bull organised the evening that included Lili Haydn among others.
Richard recited a Poem accompanied by Bongos.


We finally got our Argosy for the Control 24 at Drumroll. The Control Room is now working great!
