"A Message From Your Long Beach Circus Recruitment Office" has been referenced in a column in the Long Beach Press-Telegram along side nine other songs by artists such as Thompson Twins and Snoop Dog as a possible candidate for Long Beach's (un)official anthem. Check out the column
here, and scroll to the bottom.

I'll be periodically posting solo piano stuff, instrumentals, improvisations, etc., to a new page, located here. The first songs were recorded for entry in the Montreux Jazz Solo Competition... something I recognize I have no business entering.

In music news (whaaa???) the full "Corey Landis" album is now available for digital download on the CDBaby page at a considerable discount. Check it out.
"Supporting deep lyrical content and twisted chords, Landis manages to prove that he’s a worthy songwriter that’s worth more than just a casual listen and cast-off."--Smother.net
The "Corey Landis" album is now available at CDBaby.com, Amazon, and iTunes.
It's been over a year in the making, but well worth it
in the end. It's definitely the best SOUNDING record
I've done, and I like to think it's my strongest batch
of songs to date, as well.
The album features amazing string and woodwind
arrangements by film composer Joey Newman (of the same
historic Newman film-scoring dynasty as Randy and
Thomas) and was mixed by Greg Hayes (Warren Zevon, Tom
Petty, Bruce Springsteen) at historic--and now
defunct--Signet Sound, former home of Motown West.
Feauring the piano in the forefront of simple,
acoustic arrangements, the record evokes the darkly
humorous and off-kilter records of the '70s
singer-songwriter era (Randy Newman's "Sail Away", Tom
Waits's "Small Change", Elton John's self-titled
album, etc.)
Go check out the new record at the links below, listen to some of
the songs, and make your purchase!
