My new solo Gershwin CD Matt Herskowitz Plays Gershwin has been getting universally rave reviews, and is so far my best selling CD! Thanks to all of you who bought it, and a big thanks as well to everyone who has come to my numerous Gershwin concerts these past several months. I've been touched by your beautiful comments on this recording. I recently the same Gershwin program for Yamaha Disklavier; for those of you who don't own one these gadgets, it's a very fancy digital player piano that reproduces my performance with uncanny accuracy on your own piano. It will soon be available to download from Yamaha's online PianoSoft store - just go to their website and you'll find it. If you're interested in getting a copy of the CD version and are living outside Canada (or even inside Canada, for that matter) it's available online at CD Baby and  fusion3.com, as well as at www.archambault.ca; just type my name in the search bar and all of my albums come up.

Pour mes amis francophone, voici le lien pour écouter une entrevue très cool que j'ai fait à Montréal sur l'émission "Jazzarella", CISM FM. C'est un bon deux heures de conversation et des séléctions de tout mes albums: http://www.cism.umontreal.ca/show_details.php?sID=22

MaD Fusion Christmas CD with Barry Manilow now available
MaD Fusion's Christmas CD with Barry Manilow is now available in all Hallmark stores worldwide! The recording was an amazing experience, and I can assure you it's going to be a really, really cool CD, probably not what you would expect; probably not what Hallmark was expecting either, but apparently they love it! Good straight-ahead swingin' jazz, just crazy enough to bring a smile to your face. For the morbidly curious, pictures of the session are now up on the gallery page at www.madfusionmusic.com

In LA and Vegas with Barry Manilow

Season for change: Barry Manilow, with pianist Matt Herskowitz, has a new album,  In the Swing of Christmas. Now, he's writing a more "gritty," rock-oriented album.

Gabriel's Message/l'Ange Gabriel nominated for a Félix!
As this is my second nomination in consecutive years, I'm somewhat stunned by this unexpected but highly welcome development. The nomination was at the l'Autre Gala on October 23rd in Montreal. Unfortunately, the second time was not the charm, but there's always next year for the Gershwin CD to look forward to!
Gabriel's Message is of course still available in stores across Canada and at www.cdbaby.com/herskowitz2 and Fusion3.com for the holiday season.


Next performance: Sunday, December 16, 2007
Shawinigan, Québec
L'Ange Gabriel / Gabriel's Message


Other news:
My concerts with Theresa Tova at the Shalom Jewish Festival in Warsaw were a huge success. This experience was very personal for all of us, and the enthusiastic reception we received from our show was overshwlming. We've been invited back to perform at the festival next year, and I'll also be giving a solo recital there as well.

Lara and I are currently writing songs for her next album. I'll give more details soon, but I can already say that it's going to be something really special.
