A few examples of my own playing are offered for your perusal. These are not full-length versions, merely a few highlights. I hope you enjoy!
Summertime = A Salsa version arranged by Denver's own Medianoche. I reworked the melody to fit the groove and attitude of their arrangement.
A Time For Teresa = The first song that I ever composed for my wife Teresa. A wonderful Brazilian recording artist and dear friend from IU, Marcos Cavalcante, collaborated on this project. It is an acoustic marriage of the Sanborn style and a Brazilian acoustic guitar approach.
Giant Steps = My arrangement of a timeless and awe-inspiring Coltrane classic. It starts with a tenor cadenza, then the drums do a vamp leading to the melody, which features changing meters.
Eula Mae = My composition written for my grandmother's birthday. The piece is a duo with stride piano and Dixieland clarinet. This is the live performance from my Master of Music recital at the University of Denver.
