Introduction

Greetings! I am very excited to share that I am working on my first CD, a collection of original music, titled Coolin’. The album is composed of ten songs representing my influences as a lifelong student of music, the many styles I’ve performed over the decades, and a broad range of fresh contemporary compositional concepts.  “Row Away”, in which I employ the 12-tone rows developed by the the classical composer, Arnold Schoenberg, is something of a hybrid form, while other tunes experiment with jazz and blues, as well as other non-descript, original forms.
PLEASE NOTE: This recording is a MIDI demo only and not to be confused with the expected quality of the final recording.
I would like to have the funds by end of June or July, realistically, so recording can begin as soon as possible.
