A funky hip-hop interlude that takes you "out"  somewhere unexpected. Picture is from a remote location in northern Shaanxi province, China.

Outerlude

Mazurka is a Polish folk dance - many composers have written pieces under this title, such as Fryderyk Chopin and Karol Szymanowski. This piece is a contrapuntal, experimental version of a Mazurka, where the traditional rhythms are interrupted by more modern rhythmic concepts. The contrasting ideas come together at the end. Arranged for jazz piano trio.

Mazurka

A Hip-hop/Funk tune with jazz influences including Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, and Eric Dolphy. Named after the largest river in Poland ("Vistula" in English/Latin, "Wisła" in Polish), because I first sketched it out while staying in Warsaw very close to this river. Its Latin name implies flowing slowly, almost oozing. So this is some "oozing" semi-tonal funk.

Vistula

A jazz-influenced composition playable as a solo piece or as a trio with bass and drums. Re-uploaded with a better quality piano sound

Standard Fare

The first movement of a piano concerto originally written in 2014-15 for piano and wind ensemble. This is a new arrangement, entirely self-produced, for an ensemble of keyboard instruments (Fender Rhodes, Hammond B3, Wurlitzer piano, Clavinet, Synths) and percussion.

Piano Concerto - I

Mostly original music, written and produced by me, in various styles/genres. Elements of jazz, funk, hip-hop, baroque, impressionism, neoclassicism and others are used in my music, with influences like J.S. Bach, Chopin, Debussy, Ravel, Prokofiev, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, Parliament/George Clinton, De La Soul, Digable Planets, Brad Mehldau, Vijay Iyer, to name a few.
