I’ve been playing around Texas for over thirty years now and have been privileged to work with a lot of great musicians. I am deeply grateful to all of them.

I hope you dig the music I put up. The first four cuts are from a new release from the Peter Stoltzman trio. The next tune is an unreleased demo from my trio with Bruce Saunders on guitar and Brian Martin on bass. The next cut is from my work with the Bad Livers – Danny Barnes and Mark Rubin. That CD was a blast to make. Danny and Mark are true wonders in the studio. It was produced by Lloyd Maines – a great musician – incredible ears and lots of fun to work with. The next cut is from Elias Haslanger’s first CD. It includes Eli on saxophones, Dr. James Polk on piano, and Jeff Haley on bass. LAst but not least is from Alex Coke's Iraqnophobia CD with Tina Marsh and members of the Creative Opportunity Orchestra. I love this session. This tune features a killin trumpet solo by Pat Murray.

Thanks for checking out my page.

A big thanks to all my friends... I just went over 10,000 listens on my player. I've added a fifth tune to my player, an arrangement of Scott Henderson's "Harpoon", the leader and guitar player of Tribal Tech.

Best wishes,

Steve

Steve -

See you finally got your page up and running. Looking good! Love what you are playing "Dollface". Rich Harney's solo is really awesome. Is it available on CD anywhere?

Like your pics as well, though I think you should switch out that ratty old Tama snare drum for a new one from Joyful Noise Snare Drums out of Colorado.
