Daniel Carter, William Parker, Federico Ughi
The Dream (577 Records)

Daniel Carter: Alto and Tenor Sax, Trumpet, Flute, Clarinet and Piano
William Parker: Bass, Tuba and Shakuhachi
Federico Ughi: Drums

The idea for this very special recording started with Fayen’s reoccurring dream of Daniel playing the piano. Fayen, a friend and admirer of Daniel’s music, realized that there was no released CD of Daniel playing the piano and she offered to help produce one. With Daniel we had talked in the past about involving William in one of our projects and we decided to invite him to play on this recording. The recording session with the three of us resulted in so much wonderful material that at least two separate volumes will eventually be released. William Parker said of the recording after first listening to it that, “it could be an epic.”

This release is particularly notable, not only for the fact that it is the first CD of Daniel Carter playing piano, but also because Daniel has been more involved in the editing and production process than ever before. I believe he did a wonderful job, envisioning the recording as a suite.

The dream is now reality.

Federico Ughi "ULERS Two" (577 Records)

This is the live recording of a solo concert I played at 577, Brooklyn, NY in Summer 2001. It's the second performance of a series called ULERS (Unrehearsed Live Editing of Recorded Sounds), in which I do live editing of a one hour continuous recording of a journey I have taken. ULERS Two involves sounds recorded in Rome on a journey from Piazza S. Cosimato, Trastevere to Via Alberico II, Borgo Pio.

Federico Ughi Drums, voice and live sampling

I took the photograph in Rome, near Piazza Navona.

Federico Ughi and Daniel Carter "Astonishment" (577 Records)

This is my first recording with Daniel Carter, my first recording in New York, the first release on 577 Records.
Before this session I had only played with Daniel a few times and never as a duet.

This recording was possible thanks to the help of my friend Stefano Ukmar, who co-produced it with me and recorded it one day in Queens in 2001. I had met Stefano at around 3am in the subway a few weeks before.

I took this picture years before I moved to New York from Manhattan looking out across the river towards Queens.

Musicians:

Federico Ughi Drums, voice and live sampling
Daniel Carter Saxophones, trumpet, flute and clarinet
