(E.B. Marks). Composed for and recorded by trumpeter Eric Berlin and percussionist Eduardo Leandro, this work moves through a variety of popular styles and features both players in dazzling passages. Like the title implies, the use of bongos-only makes this work highly transportable to virtually any venue. " Street Jam is a delightfully crisp and punchy work. The two forces, trumpet and bongos, work together at times, against each other at times, and upstage each other at times. The title is a perfect visual image to put with the music. Hause has captured wonderful energy and drive in this piece." -- Sequenza 21

(E.B. Marks). A perfect programming choice for early college and late high school level percussion quartets. Elephant Breath employs readily-available untuned percussion, a basic trap set and no mallet instruments. Rock motives are bounced throughout the ensemble in an ever-increasing fury, punctuated by brief, quiet windows of high sounds (the breath of the elephant!).

(E.B. Marks). Fields is a dynamic, advanced concert solo for the 5-octave marimba. Its three movements include free passages, wistful chorales and rolled passages, and a "Wood Rag" and "Plain Dance" that create contrasting, driving rhythmic energy. As inscribed in the foreword: " Fields explores and celebrates the wide-openness and free-spiritedness on the inside and outside of us."
