His discography includes a band single recorded in EMI's Abbey Road Studios as a
result of winning the first Melody Maker Rock Contest in London in 1972 and a
writing credit on an Ueda Masaki number one album in Japan in 1983. He has
composed music for TV commercials and other performers CDs in Japan as well as
recording much music in his own studio for many diverse artists. He has played
all over Japan performing in costume for general audiences many of whom have
never seen a lute.
The personel for La Primavera seems to be ever changing in Japan. For this
recording, tenor Jacob Dougherty, bass Nathaniel Hurvitz and soprano Michelle
Keobke of Canada joined Americans viola da gambists David Morris and Natalie
Sera, recorder player Richard Geisler, and soprano Beverly Marks.
David Morris, 'cello/viola da gamba, has performed with Philharmonia Baroque
Orchestra, American Bach Soloists, the Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland Baroque
Orchestras, the Israeli baroque orchestra Tizmoret Salomone and the Mark Morris
Dance Group. He is the Dean of Students at The Crowden School in Berkeley and
has conducted the Crowden School Orchestra on concert tours of Europe and the U.K.
He is the founder and musical director of the Bay Area Baroque opera ensemble
Teatro Bacchino, and has been a guest instructor in performance practice at The
San Francisco Conservatory, UC Berkeley and Mills College. He received his BA
and MA in Music from U.C. Berkeley and was the recipient of the University's
Eisner Prize for excellence in the performing arts. He has recorded for
Harmonia Mundi, Dorian, New Albion, and New World Records.
Jake initiated his interest in singing with the Calgary Boy's Choir and the Ad
Libitum Chamber Choir but began serious studies in music at the University of
Calgary. It was studies with Dr. Victor Coelho and the early music ensemble
that Jake first contracted "the malady" through exposure to early music and the
lute.
In 1996 he transferred to the University of British Columbia to study voice,
historical performance practice and choral conducting with Prof. James
Fankhauser. Singing for the University Singers and the Vancouver Cantata
Singers proved a fulfilling honing ground for his interests in music, philosophy
and theology.
