Karl has also been cutting a 9 track album with Larry Scheidmuller from the Jim Breuer show, which is also just about done recording. Jason Gianni from The Collective played drums on it, and Karl played most of the guitar and bass. It's already started mixing, and Karl will finish up the last couple of solos after coming back from a well deserved vacation in Florida. Karl will be working with good friend and amp builder John Gaynor from Sozo Amplification during this trip as well.

At the end of March, beginning of April, Karl will be working with Jason Gianni at the The Collective doing a progressive rock master class, as well as private teaching. If any students in the Manhattan area want private lessons during that time period, e-mail Karl at karl@karlcochran.com, or contact The Collective.

Karl has just completed recording Joe Lynn Turner's latest solo CD, which will be called "Second Hand Life." It is due for an early April release. Aside from the drums, the entire album (vocals, guitars, bass and keyboards) were recorded in Karl's home studio. Recording started on December 27th, finished on February 6th, and encompassed many 16 to 23 hour days, 7 day weeks.

Karl played all the guitars, seven bass guitar tracks, and some background vocals on the album. He engineered all the guitars, vocals, keyboards and bass guitars as well as wrote several songs on the album with Bob Held (who played several bass tracks) and JLT.

Michael Cartellone (drummer for Lynyrd Skynyrd, Damn Yankees), played all 12 drum tracks in one day in mid-December at a studio in Ossining, New York. Gary Corbett played all the keyboards in between tour dates. Gary Tole engineered the drums and is mixing the record in Ossining, New York.

The album is almost done mixing and will go to get mastered soon. We will keep you informed when it becomes available for purchase.
