New Album Release: “Mr. Kool”
Category: Uncategorized
0 “Mr. Kool” Has Been Released!
I’m very excited to announce that my new album, “Mr. Kool,” has been released. It’s an all-instrumental album of jazzy music. Michael Cornett produced it. Suffice it to say that the album wouldn’t have turned out as well as it did without his help!
I played keyboards and guitar on “Mr. Kool.” Chris Otts added some incredible sax parts on five of the tunes. I had help from three really great drummers: Jack Jones, Moses Mooney, and Brandon Williams. John Rathbone and Michael Cornett played bass on various songs. Bill Craig added some nice percussion parts as well. I can honestly say that this album is the best work I have done thus far. I really believe that you are going to enjoy the music!

0 “Breezy Day” Has Been Released!
My new album, entitled “Breezy Day,” was released today! I think that it is the best work I have done yet. Many thanks to all those who made it possible, but especially to my producer, Michael Cornett, and to John Crawford, who designed the album art. This has truly been a team effort!
You can listen to “Breezy Day ” for free on Spotify. CDs and downloads are available at CD Baby. You can also download the album (or individual tracks) at Amazon. You’ll find links to Spotify, CD Baby, and Amazon on my website. You can also order CDs directly from me at P.O. Box 70, Cherry Log, GA 30522.
My goal is to write, record, and perform jazz-rock music that is melodic, accessible, and interesting. I hope that that you will enjoy “Breezy Day.” Quite frankly, I think that the music will put you in a good mood!
All the best!
Jim
0 My New Album Will Be Released Soon!
I’m happy to let you know that my new album, “Breezy Day,” will be released very soon. All the music has been mixed, mastered, and uploaded to the company that makes the CDs. The album will be available at CD Baby, Amazon, iTunes, Google, and various other online sites. You’ll be able to listen to it on Spotify as well.
I owe a deep debt of gratitude to those who made this project happen. First, and foremost, many thanks to Michael Cornett. He engineered and produced the album, and he played GREAT bass guitar tracks on the album!
I am also grateful to the amazing drummers who came to the studio and played drums for us: Scott Jones, Jeff Rudolph, Brandon Williams, and Thomas Pinson. Every one of these guys is a MONSTER on drums! These guys are pros!
Thanks also go to Rodney Mills, of Rodney Mills Masterhouse, for bringing the music to life through his mastering expertise. Rodney has worked with Skynyrd, .38 Special, ARS, Gregg Allman, the Doobies, Journey, and too many others to list. I am honored to have had the privilege to work with him!
Last, but not least, my thanks go to John Crawford, who designed the album art and the poster that goes with the album. John is an awesome photographer and designer, and a great musician as well!
I really believe that you will like “Breezy Day.” It truly reflects the kind of music that I enjoy writing and playing these days. It’s jazzy, with a bit of rock influence. I’ll post an announcement when the album is available.
Here’s the album poster:

No need for the premium service unless you want it. Just do a search for “Jim Richter Metamorphosis,” and you’ll find me.

P.S. Turns out there’s another Jim Richter on Spotify. He’s the guy who plays blues/rock/folk mandolin. He’s very good. However, I’m the Jim Richter who plays electric guitar and keyboards!

0 My New Album Will Be Released Soon
For more than a year, I have been working on my second album. It’s an all-instrumental album entitled “Metamorphosis,” and I think it is the best work I have done yet. As with my prior projects, my producer was Michael Cornett, an extremely talented musician and songwriter in his own right. This time, we had the world-famous Rodney Mills master all the recordings. Rodney has worked with Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Atlanta Rhythm Section, Gregg Allman, the Doobie Brothers, Journey, 38 Special, Pearl Jam, Zac Brown, and numerous other famous artists. Last, but certainly not least, the album artwork was designed by John Crawford, of Photocentric Studios, in Ellijay, Georgia. John does beautiful work, and I think that the design of “Metamorphosis” might be his best work yet!
I will post further information as the album release approaches. In the meantime, here’s John’s design for the album poster.
