This tune is dedicated to Emily Osment, who played Lilly Truscott on Walt Disney's "Hannah Montana"

Lilly, Lilly, Lilly!

This tune is dedicated to Sarah Morrow, a beloved friend of mine and famous Jazz trombonist.

Trombone Woman

This tune, played in an Afro-Cuban Salsa rhythm called the Son Montuno, is dedicated to Savannah Guthrie.  Interestingly, Havana (located in Cuba) and Savannah rhyme perfectly.  Therefore, the tune is perfect for her.

Havana For Savannah

This tune is about my loving Cleveland, Ohio, as well as some of the things associated with this great city.

I Am A Clevelander

"To Africa... With Love" is dedicated on behalf of the people in the continent of Africa.  The tune follows Africa's roots of Latin music with congas and African percussion; continuing on with Cuba and the Afro-Cuban rhythms like the son montuno, and the instruments like the bongos, tres guitar and claves.  We cannot forget the instruments that have been used in Afro Jazz like bass, piano and trombones.
Also, it is dedicated to my beloved friend, Marie DaSilva, the founder of the Jacaranda Foundation and School in Malawi, located in southeast Africa, and its staff and students.

To Africa... With Love

This tune is dedicated to Tori Grigaitis, who was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis-1 (NF-1) as a young child.  Team Tori was named after Team Ricki from "The Ricki Lake Show", although I wish it was named "Bunny: The Ricki Lake Show".

Team Tori

This tune is dedicated to Tori Grigaitis and Ricki Lake.  Those two special friends are like "niece" and "aunt" to each other.
The musical arrangement may be like that of Ray Barretto's "Descarga Criolla".

Toricki

The lyrics on "Ricki, Dance To Victory!" tell of how Ricki Lake has danced her way through all of Season 13 of "Dancing With The Stars", and that, despite ending up in 3rd place, she became the champ.

Ricki, Dance To Victory!

I have unusual imaginations regarding women and trombones.  One example is Ricki Lake.  While I wish I could see photos of her with the trombone, I have written this groovy son montuno
