abbottAbbott will work with Peter Blanck, BBI chairman and University Professor, on a music production program that enables people with disabilities to learn and use professional studio equipment. “This interdisciplinary partnership with James Abbott presents an exciting and unique opportunity for the campus and Central New York communities,” says Blanck. “We are thrilled Abbott is collaborating with BBI. His musical expertise and passion for student engagement will be important to the success of the program.”

Abbott is a graduate of the renowned music engineering program at the University of Miami. His work can be heard on NPR, PBS, Centaur Records, New World Records, Composer’s Recordings (CRI), Albany, GM, Sanctuary Classics (Black Box), Victor, Mark Records, Innova, Naxos, Koch Classics, Raven Records, Summit, Warner Brothers and Endeavor Classics.
