Jason McKenzie: Discography
Darin Layne/Jason McKenzie -- "Left of Sunday Afternoon" - CD
A beautiful collection of acoustic guitar instrumental music featuring my tabla playing on every track. Other featured instruments include violin, cello, cavaquinho (Brazilian mandolin-like instrument), melodica, and accordion. It's a creative blend of East and West in the vein of Shakti and Oregon. It also features Roberto Riggio from Atash. It has recently been reviewed by Guitar Player Magazine and is available on itunes.
Atash -- "Republic of Love" - CD
This is a CD of which I'm very proud that I recorded with Atash. This is music that we composed together and I helped to arrange and produce. On the CD I play drumset, tabla, doumbek, djembe, kanjira, daf, riq, and other percussion. The track "Creation" was recently featured on a tv show called Veronica Mars. Available on itunes.
Darin Layne--"The Fisherman" - CD
I am playing drumset on three tracks on this long-awaited debut album from one of Austin's most innovative jazz guitarists. Check out "Early Morning", "See Five" (which I co-wrote), and "Break Me" which is a crazy combo of Mahavishnu Orchestra-meets-Drum & Bass.
Matt Nathanson -- "Some Mad Hope" - CD
Besides playing world music and jazz, I also play drum set in more main-stream pop acts. This is a major-label release that shows another side to my drumming. It debuted at number 60 in the Billboard Top 200 Album Charts in 2007.
Atash--"Global Harmony" (live)
During my three-year absence, Rob Hooper played drums with Atash. Luckily, I was able to make it to Austin for the Global Harmony concerts. I'm playing tabla, dumbek, and kanjira along-side Rob on on this wonderful compilation.
Jacob Jiles -- "Goodbye Songs" - CD
I'm playing drum set on this smooth, soulful album by my good friend Jacob from New York.
Back to the Garden--Tribute to Joni Mitchell - CD
I'm playing drum set and percussion on this part-live/part-studio recording by Will Taylor and Strings Attached.
Alexi Murdoch--"Time Without Consequence" - CD
My tabla playing is featured on the track "Home".
Strings Attached - CD
This is a compilation of the best of Austin singer/songwriters with the group Strings Attached. I play drum set, tabla, and other percussion on several tracks.
Woodwork -- "Viewfinder" - CD
This is the band I played with in the late 90's.
