- Welcome to my new website powered by artistShare!
Please read on so you can get the most out of my website!
The new project, "Van gogh letters" is finished and heading off for duplication any day now. It went through quite a change and the final version is myself on oboe, english horn and bass clarinet, Jim Ridl on keyboards and Gary Versace on accordion. The duo became a trio!
If you'd like to purchase one of my previous CDs "The Planets" or "Pictures at an Exhibition", please go to the Participant offers section of my site, (just to the right and up of where you are reading now) and click on "Witness the Creative Process" and then scroll to "Pictures and Planets Quintet offer". You'll get a CD of "Pictures" PLUS a download of Gustav Holts' "The Planets". My two previous CD’s, “In this World” and “Currents” are available as well and they feature my tenor, soprano, and oboe playing. The players on these albums include Ben Monder, Pete McCann, Peter Erskine, Adam Nussbaum, Chuck Bergeron and Michael Holober.
Also available are my books, “Woodwind Doubling, the saxophonists’ guide to playing Flute, Clarinet and Oboe” the first book of its kind and “Jazz Improvisation for Oboe and English Horn” which is a play along with my music tailored for the oboe players who want to learn about the art of improvisation.

 | The new project, "Vincent van Goghs letters"
| 1/19/2010 - Join us as we turn the letters of Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo into music. The project is a duo with keyboardist, Jim Ridl, who appears on both "Pictures at an Exhibition" and "The Planets". A quieter, more subdued suite of pieces, the project has its beginnings in the texts of the words Vincent spoke to Theo. Titles like "Did you see the Storm" and "The Brush in my fingers is like a bow on a Violin" (all his words) seem to express his understanding of who he was and what he had to offer the world with his art.
