Dave Hartl: Links

Dave's E-Portfolio: Here's a link to my work on website coding, from a masters class at Drexel University. You'll find my e-portfolio here with lots of information about things other than my own music.
The Night Café: Here's the mandolin/ accordion/ bass project that Al Slutsky and I have put together. Check out our video and new audio!
iTunes: This'll automatically search for my music on iTunes so you can download it into your spiffy little mp3 player. Just hit the "See all results in iTunes" link to go there.
Brian Groder: One of my favorite musicians. After years of playing the New York scene and working with Cecil Taylor and many others, Brian is getting some great press for his new CD featuring Sam Rivers, "Torque". Lots of good music here.
Tom Giacabetti: Philadelphia guitarist extraordinaire, the best sight reader I know, playing a wide range of styles and a wide range of stringed things. Plus he's soulful!
Steve Beskrone: Philly bass player who has played with the greats, has a wonderful feel, and has made me laugh till tears ran down my face on a LOT of gigs.
Vic Stevens: Vic is a versatile, solid drummer who runs a recording studio and puts out CDs I can really relate to. He's also a fun hang and a all-round great guy. Check out his music, you'll like it.
Jimmy Bruno: One of the most amazing guitarists on the planet! I had the privilege of recording the album "Midnight Blue" with Jimmy. His latest CD continues a long run of unparalleled excellence in fretboard artistry.
Ed Palermo Big Band: Ed Palermo has been redefining the repertoire of the big band for over 20 years. I get to rehearse once in a while with his Zappa band and love it. It ain't fair -- this guy burns on alto sax, guitar, and arranging. And also has a serious jones for Edgar Winter's music, which isn't a bad thing at all.
Raw Deal: This is a jam band that I have the pleasure of playing with on occasion. We've done 2 CDs that I'm proud to be part of. Sort of a N'awleans front-line fusion hangdown.
Dave Stahl: I've been playing with Dave's ensembles over the last year and have really enjoyed getting my Big Band Ya-yas out with him. He's one of the great trumpet players we've got, works harder than anyone I know, and has all my respect.
Minas: Great Brazilian band's website. Orlando and Patricia are wonderful musicians and play music that's guaranteed to make you smile. Check out their CDs as well.
University of the Arts: Here's where I've been teaching since 1991. The faculty is packed with working, creative artists who aren't just academics, but are talented working musicians of the first rank. If I didn't work here, I'd want to hang out.
Turtle Studios: A friendly, warm and professional environment to record in. No matter how weird my request, they accomodated me. Jay and Jeff -- thanks for making "Lab Work" happen.
Moog Music: Bob Moog's company in Asheville, NC continues to bring innovative products and perfection in quality to electronic musicians everywhere, continuing Bob's incredible legacy. I couldn't play my stuff without my Moogerfoogers.
Waldorf Synthesizers: This German company was almost out of the picture, but are back and bringing out a new line of gear. Their Microwave and Q synths sound better than almost every other synth out there, and I consider these my primary hardware synths.
Stick Enterprises: Emmett Chapman sold me my first Stick back in 1981. I've never gotten as good as I try to be on it, but I've gotten more pleasure and relaxation from his great invention than anything else I can think of. Others may copy his ideas, but Emmett was there first with the best.
Kurzweil: I've been playing Kurzweil keyboards for over a dozen years and have logged thousands of hours on them in my own music and in just about every concert and show I've played. Give me one with a weighted 88-key action and a Waldorf on the upper rack and I'm set.
Arturia software: My favorite virtual synths, faithful emulations of classic analog synths that take you back to the '60's and '70's. These are ALL over "Lab Work".
GForce Software: Another synth emulation company, this one excels in some old favorites: the Mellotron, the Arp Odyssey, the OSCar, and the MiniMoog. Great sounding stuff!
