- Recent News - - Annie Herring in Glenwood Springs, CO - JavaMusiK is extremely proud to have hosted the Gospel Music Hall of Fame Award recipient Annie Herring, who performed at Glenwood Springs, (CO) First United Methodist Church; Thursday, April 29.
Along with her brother Matthew and sister Nelly, Annie was the founder of Christian Artist group Second Chapter of Acts. In the early 90's, Annie's ministry changed to a solo career. Her early recordings were a major influence on Jeff's own piano compositional style. Seeing Annie and Second Chapter of Acts in performance numerous times through the years led Jeff to pursue the possibility of bringing Annie's ministry to Glenwood Springs. It finally happened and we couldn't be happier! - Fall '09 Tour Dates Recap - Jeff played several Showcase Events throughout Western Colorado in promotion of his newest cd, 'Don't Ever Forget.' Each event was set up to include not only a showcase performance by Jeff & the piano, but also to share the talents & fellowship of local musicians/artists from the hosting venue.
You can read about Jeff's experiences and thoughts 'from the road' in a recent posting along with many other utterances and dribblings at The JavaMusiK Blog. - Updated JavaPics! - We've recently updated the JavaPics Page. Go have a look!
- Latest CD Release! - Don't Ever Forget finally became a reality in late 2009. Conceived as a tribute to Jeff's father's recent passing, one of the decisions that was made was to record this project at George Daily Auditorium in Oskaloosa, Iowa, Jeff's hometown. Jeff's father William had taken Jeff to the studio previous to his passing and suggested it as a resource for a future project and it turned out to be the right place at the right time for this one.
The piano used for recording was a 6 foot Yamaha concert grand on the stage of the auditorium. After hearing the sound of the piano with these particular compositions & arrangements, it was decided to release the cd for this project as strictly solo piano. We are excited for listeners to see and hear why. Please stay tuned as further updates are posted.
- Alpine Road Publishing Launched & Functional - One of our goals at JavaMusiK is to eventually create transcriptions of the recorded compositions and arrangements to be distributed through our newly formed Alpine Road Publishing company. A small step has been completed in that direction with the completed transcriptions of 2 of Jeff's pieces along with several other Music Education & personal writings, including his father's autobiography. More will become available as it becomes transcribed. Check it out & stay tuned for more!
