Senior Composition Recital, May 7 2006

all songs © 1999-2007 by Jacob P. Smolowe

OK everybody, for the first time ever, for this concert ONLY, I am making full recordings of my compositions available FREE on this page. In addition, as the concert was also recorded on High Definition camcorder, I will also be making DVD's available for whoever asks (if you feel like giving me a couple of bucks for the cost of the blank DVD, I won't object). What I ask in return is that you please DO share these recordings with your friends, and point them to this website, and refer them to my CD's so that they can buy copies of my commercial recordings as well. And of course, if you don't have a CD yourself, please buy one!
