Piece Offering is the title of my first CD. On it I’ve written a dozen original jazz tunes and play them in a guitar/trumpet combo. It favors the blue end of the musical spectrum with a little Latin spice thrown in for flavor. I’ve been told that it’s an excellent album to play as background during cookouts or dinner parties. We all had a lot of fun making this CD.
My bands are typically made up of the best players available at any given time. I try to comprise my groups of both young and old players alike. My main criterion is that they all have decent chops, good taste, and can improvise. I like to keep things fresh so I don't make a big fuss about having regular sidemen. Consequently I work with lots of different bass players, drummers and horn players. Whenever I record in the studio I use the best players I can find.
