Here's a track(rather, rough recording) of a piano piece that I came up with. I have yet to write it all out, but I am pleased with how it turned out. 

Contemplation de la Rue translates to Contemplation of the Street, where the mixed tonalities you hear in the piece represent the opposite lanes and maybe getting too close to the divider. It starts with clusters that are not quite metrically even when it comes to distance, but they symbolize the passing cars; and it is heard through the piece. 

I hope you all enjoy it, and in the future, sheet music will go along with it.  Any and all constructive feedback is highly  appreciated.

Contemplation De La Rue

Live recording from my Big Band Recital on 4/27, soloing alongside the UCM Jazz Ensemble 1.

Recital 4/27 - Sunset Glow

Just a quick recording of one of my favorite songs to play. A melody that I think to always be in season. 

Hope you like it!

Christmas Time Is Here

Recorded live in November 2016, this original chart is a ballad that reminisces of Sally's unrequited love for Linus. 

Features Matthew Cook on Alto Sax, Nick Brown on Upright Bass, and Zach Dineen on Rhodes.

Sweet Baboo

Circa no idea. Maybe 2015? Oh well. Found this while going through files and I didn't realize how well it sounded. 

Recorded at the University of Central Missouri

Lazy Bird

A brief runthrough of a new tune I wrote in July 2019. Acting as a placeholder until I can get legit recordings of things.

Original melody and changes.

Live trumpet on melody, iRealb running through the changes.

Frankies Song

Just a rough recording of some guitar and drum stuff with my friend Rich. Let me know what you think!

Jammin with Rich

Place holder for now, wanting to see what else could come of this, but happy with its current form. 

Simple set up, Strat, Compressor, and two mics on the amp. Came out really well too ,so let me know what you think.

Never Enough

A cover, minus vocals, that I recorded for a friend, pretty proud of how it turned out so I wanted to share. I recorded both guitar parts and the bass track, and purchased a drum track to go along with it, because nothing I was doing was working. Hope you like it.

(Cover) "Amber" - 311

Fun tune I wrote and recorded a few months ago, finally getting around to posting it. Been on the fence about doing do for a while, not sure why.

I recorded both Lead and Rhythm guitar parts, as well as bass, and created a drum track with samples from iRealb.

Here it is though, hope you like it.
