Paying homage to Herbie Hancock once more with my collection of trad jazz band instruments, here is a different spin on the ever so popular "Maiden Voyage". This one sounds a little like the trombonist has hit the liquor (a little like my experiences on cruiseship voyages!). Enjoy!

Drunk on the "Maiden Voyage"

I set my challenge today of squeezing as many modulations (key changes) as I could into Mack the Knife in 3 minutes (ala Ella Fitzgerald at Cote D'Azur). I managed 6 modulations. I think if my memory serves me, she does 8; what a show off! Enjoy! This was good practice for playing in mixed and horrid keys!

Mack The Knife

My impossible mission in which I accepted was to take the themes of Mission Impossible and turn them into Sweet Georgia Brown. It was a major challenge. This is what I came up with. Enjoy!

Sweet Georgia Brown: Impossible Mission

This marks the final in a series of 9 experimental jazz tracks where I took 9 songs written well after the trad era and arranged them for Tuba, Trombone, Trumpet and Clarinet. Arrangements were informal and usually centred around the Tuba line. I've returned the Tuba so no more Tuba playing from me for a while. This recording is a favourite song of mine played with consideration for what Thelonious Monk songs may have sounded like if they were written 50 years earlier. Enjoy!

Well You Needn't

This is an arrangement of a pop song significant to my wife and I. I arranged and recorded it for her.

Song for my wonderful Wife

Here is a cover of one of DNCE's hit songs. Thanks to their promoter for making this request. Hope it lives up to the standard. I am a multi-instrumentalist and recorded each part that you can hear in the recording. Enjoy!

Kissing Strangers - DNCE

Here is a little track that was intended for Bandlab but Bandlab don't seem to have a platform that is friendly for 4'04" songs. Enjoy!

Wheres The Salsa?

Two Jars of Salsa

This is a super mellow track we are working on for our soon to be released album. Enjoy the prototype!

Olympus Speaks

Here is another of the collaborations I have been working on with the magnificent drumming expertise of Eric Wiegmann, and horns/elec bass by yours truly. Emjoy!
