The Codebreakers

In it for the Money

One More Try

This was a tune written on a grey day with a very low cloud ceiling. It's kind of whimsical using an essentially G harmonic minor motif. The broken bossa feel is a nice touch.

Low Clouds

This is quite a tricky bass line in 5/4 at quite a tempo. It's called Turn It Up because the bass player could never hear himself properly through his amp on this one . 

Turn It Up

This track has a decidedly Japanese feel to it , hence the name Lotus Blossom. It's based on the In sen scale which is basically a suspended 7th with a flat nine giving it an oriental quality. The solos are completely up for grabs in whatever mood or tempo provided the In sen scale is being used.

Pulsar

This is a jazz waltz with a melody that came to me in a time of stress . I thought about the cause of the stress and thought lets just go with the flow! Sometimes it the best course of action.

With the Flow

I am a musician who shares his time between drums and piano. I love writing music from my modest home studio in Milton Keynes and getting out to play essentially jazz as often as I can . I have led jazz trio' s from both of my chosen instruments

My leaning is towards progressive jazz although my tastes are quite wide spread. As well as being a performing musician I have taught in schools and am currently teaching from home.

I believe there is a musician inside all us who, if we take little steps everyday , wiil find a way out into the real world. The trick is getting started!
