I have been truly fortunate to work with some of the world's great musicians, having played and recorded with such luminaries as Tony Levin and Victor Bailey, Jerry Marotta and Lenny White, Chieli Minucci, string maestros Antoine Silverman and Dave Eggar, Rolling Stones saxophonist Tim Ries, sterling vocalist Darryl Tookes, the hyper talented Jay Stollman and Fred Shehadi, multi-instrumentalist Andy Stein from Prairie Home Companion, and accordionist Charlie Giordano, currently working with Bruce and The E Street Band among many, many others. My interests in powerful and natural music led me to spend nearly a year writing and producing GRANCIA, a collection of some of my "non-commercial' instrumentals arranged for a quasi chamber orchestra built around a dream rhythm section of Tony, Jerry and Chieli which was released this year. It hasn't knocked Britney off the charts, but the critics seem to like it a lot. I also have a deep love for soul music and great R&B singing and have included some songs I wrote and recorded with Darryl that highlight his staggering vocal abilities. Lately I've been creating some interesting music with New York guitarist and producer David Lawrence, and I'm always doing new solo piano work. Some of that is up here as well. Enjoy the music.
