| Faculty Focus | Ryan Kauffman, sax instructor, received a very positive review of his new CD "Three Little Words" in the current issue of Cadence Magazine. The cd features 7 of Ryan's original tunes with some of Central PA's finest musicians: Matt Hochmiller on piano, Steve Meashey on bass, and Chris Loser on drums.
"Ryan Kauffman plays fluid, sure-footed lines on his saxes with a fine tone on each. The rhythm section is also solid, with pianist Matt Hochmiller revealing an interesting mainstream modern phraseology of his own. Drummer Chris Loser provides bright, crisp accompaniment while bassist Steve Meashey anchors the proceedings with a strong sound and a firm beat."
--- an excerpt from Cadence Magazine's review of "Three Little Words"
You can purchase the CD directly through Ryan or at www.cdbaby.com/cd/RyanKauffman. |
