5/23/2024  Current Projects     Recently I was commissioned to create a new work for orchestra.  More information will be forthcoming on this project.  Also, serious work has resumed with Faust J.D.

4/21/2017__ Seize The Day: Quartets by Richard Jordan Smoot has been released and is available at CD Baby. The album is comprised of  three quartets composed over a 10 year period and features the clarinetist, Richard Stoltzman as well as the string quartet, Carpe Diem String Quartet. The album may be purchased as a physical copy or downloaded at http://cdbaby.com/cd/richardjordansmoot2.

Things are steadily coming together on this site. Music has been posted, linked to retail outlets, and much more is to come. Meanwhile work continues on the new album of quartets. Recording sessions with Carpe Diem String Quartet are now completed and editing of 63 minutes of music total continues.  We hope to release the new CD and downloads ASAP.

Meanwhile you can now hear one of the performances of the four movement Khabiri Quartet by going to our Media Menu where YouTube performances are available, or click here for information about this work:
