My big band arrangement of "These Foolish Things" by Jack Strachey.

Featuring Nicholas Anderson on guitar and Joey LeClerc on Soprano Saxophone.

These Foolish Things

This is my original composition based off of the opening poem to Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. This was performed by UNC Jazz Lab Band 1 as a part of their "Electronic Wonderland" project. 

Featuring Mike Conrad on Trombone and Chang Su on Soprano Saxophone.

The Golden Afternoon

A song about the stillness of morning. I was thinking of a friend who had a parent pass away and the complex feelings of sadness/grief and love/celebration of someone's life.

Morning

This is a tune I wrote in the style of the great saxophonist and composer Wayne Shorter.
