Just The Way You Are

Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You

This classic Bessie Smith tune was also recorded at my house in Denton, TX in December of 2010 with the lovely "Kristy Kruger and her Santa Babies" Kristy is singing, playing piano, banjo, and tamborine. Alex Maples at the drums, and I'm playing bass and trumpet.

Gimme a Pig Foot and a Bottle of Beer

This track is from a recent big band recording session at the famous Sound Emporium, in Nashville, TN, for Jeremy Davis and the Fabulous Equinox Orchestra. 
It was such a thrill to stand in front of this amazing collection of talent and hear my arrangement come to life for the first time! 
"Dancing..." is an original song written and sung here by the unmistakeable Adam Jones. Filling out the ensemble are members of the Nashville Jazz Orchestra. The MVP award for this project, however, goes to the masterful maestro, Mr. Dan Rudin, who engineered and mixed this record, and coached the band throughout the sessions. Under his gentle crop, the band recorded thirteen songs in two days! Quite an achievement. Enjoy

Dancing Like Nobody's Watching You

This track is from a recent big band recording session at the famous Sound Emporium, in Nashville, TN, for Jeremy Davis and the Fabulous Equinox Orchestra.  It was such a thrill to stand in front of this amazing collection of talent and hear my arrangement come to life for the first time! The ink was still wet on this chart - I finished it at four a.m. the night before the session!  "Crying" is my take on the Roy Orbison classic, performed here by the superlative Equinox frontman Clay Johnson, and filling out the ensemble are members of the Nashville Jazz Orchestra. The MVP award for this project, however, goes to the masterful maestro, Mr. Dan Rudin, who engineered and mixed this record, and coached the band throughout the sessions. Under his gentle crop, the band recorded thirteen songs in two days! Quite an achievement. Enjoy!

Crying

Kristy Kruger and I had fun producing this track, which includes tap-dance solo breaks and Marty Robbins-style holiday background vocals. Kristy sings and plays piano, sleighbells, and tap shoes. I'm playing guitar, bass and trumpet, and Alex Maples is at the drums.
