|  | Suite for Piano Quartet & Improvising Soloist | | Come to the concert in Ireland. It was recorded by the RTE Radio in Dublin and video taped and edited by yours truely. This is a good example of my latest compositions, as I mix various genres...... The critics hated it! What do you think? | | |
|  | "Reflection" | Have you listened to Reflection yet? Listen to the cd before you buy it. It's currently available exclusively through this web site. Purchase includes extra audio commentary, lead sheets and more.

“Reflection” is the latest CD from the Ed Neumeister Quartet. The idea is that after listening to the steaming mp3 files you will want to have one for your very own. You’ll also receive an audio greeting and audio commentary on the cd plus some lead sheets and more. By clicking on the link below you can even read the liner notes and check out some of the reviews.
Currently "New Standards" is streaming on the radio. Have a listen. It's available here on it's own with extra audion comentary, leadsheets and more and it's also available as a "double-up" special, together with reflections.
“Wake Up Call” is sharing the centerpiece of the site with our new quartet CD “Reflection”. You can listen to both on the radio. “Wake Up Call” is the result of the commission I received last year: “the ASCAP/IAJE commission in honor of Ornette Coleman.” The idea is for you to get interested enough, after listening to the piece and looking around and reading some of the commentary, to join us as a “Participant”. You can come in for ten bucks and receive on-going commentary and pod and video casts etc. For 16.95 you will receive the CD in the mail. And for $85, you can become a “Composer Participant” with access to audio visual demonstrations and lectures as the pieces develop. There are high level Participant levels for those who would like to give extra support to the project. Please go to the Participant page for more info. There is also a good description of all the participation levels for download at the epk page.
Please have a look around. There is a lot to check out, read, look and listen. Enjoy!
