I'm a NYC-based pianist/keyboard player, composer, producer and arranger. Historically I have, and continue to, play a lot of jazz. I did a solo record Nineteen-Eight Records with my trio, and I freelance with a number of jazz artists -- both on recordings and on tour. I also do a fair amount of production in the non-jazz market including songwriting, composing and other session work. In the last few years I also toured extensively with Rod Stewart (among other things)
Thanks for stopping by and make sure to also visit Rudder
I still have in my ears your beautiful notes on "Blame it on my youth", with the lovely and so expressive voice of Mark Ledford and one among those magical deep vibes solo of Joe... As clearly as if it was playing now! :o)
Hi ! It was great to speak to you after the Jazz Fest show, as well as the show was very good. The connection between you guys was nice to witness, especially when you played clave/piano to the drummer's beats.
HI thnx for the friendship and it’s nice to know you! Think it’s nice to be connected with musicians all over the world. In music we are all alike and speak the same language!!!
