A PERSONAL MESSAGE

I am excited to announce that some live performance venues are cautiously starting to open. Please continue to check back regularly for updates.

While we adjust to the 'new normal', I am continuing to do livestreaming events, and remain available via Skype and Facetime to provide lessons in jazz theory and performance to musicians of all ages and levels. I have also been busy writing new music and arranging old standards, so if you have a need please contact me.

I look forward to seeing you on-line and live in the near future.
