Jazz Pianist,  Arranger, Composer, originally from St. Louis, Mo., I've been in Los Angeles, Ca. since 1979.  I hope you enjoy all the music. It's a mix of Jazz standards, original compositions, Great American Song Book type standards and a few rock/ pop classics re-arranged for Jazz Trio. Some of it goes back 25 years or more now. The formats vary--solo, trio, quartet and vocals. 
Some of it is high quality Pro studio recording quality, others are my amateur home recordings of my Steinway D. On a few of the live recordings they were made with a Sony PCM-D50 digital recorder or iPhone.  Thanks for listening.
