COMPOSITIONS 

JAZZ 

Living With is a piece that I wrote which was inspired by the idea that to truly appreciate anything, it is important to Live with it for a while.  I documented the process of writing the piece on a my Blog

What a May?

"What a may?" is an origial funky big band chart based  I wrote in 2014 based on how my son Simon said "What's the matter?" when he was 3 years old.  Performed here live by the Portland Jazz Orcehstra.
