2010 is going to be a great year at Buckyball. We would like to introduce our new artist this season, the young and talented guitarist Jake Hertzog. Two new releases are slated for April that will be available for purchase and sampling exclusively on this site, as well as a much updated calendar section featuring performances of all the artists from our growing roster.

Two new recordings:

Jake Hertzog
"Patterns" will be Jake's second release, and the first on Buckyball. He has already started to make his mark on the jazz scene and beyond. His new recording is a perfect mix of original tunes with a few standards that have been re-arranged by fresh ears. There's a physicist in his family so Jake is a great match for Buckyball!

Marc Wagnon
Marc has not released a solo recording since his collaboration with Mike Clark and Paul Jackson, "Conjunction" in 2001. So this new release is overdue. "Earth is a Cruel Master" is Marc's latest recording and along with Van Manakas and Leo Traversa it features Marc as a multi-instrumentalist, playing percussion, drums and the vibes.

We recently came accross a series of websites dedicated to science and its relation to music and sounds. We would like to highlight a a page for your perusal. Thanks to the development of brain scanning, this is an exploding area of research. The New York Academy of Sciences has a really good page called "Songs of Experience: Music and the Brain".
