Bio
Hello and welcome to my site! Please click around, listen to music (under the "Albums" drop down), “like” and “share”, and make yourself at home.
I'm very happy to have just released my 3rd CD, Bridges. It pioneers a new approach to jazz trombone by incorporating the traditional Middle Eastern system of scales and quarter-tones. I’m so excited about this new record and can truly say there is nothing like it anywhere in the world. Because of its slide, the trombone lends itself ideally to playing notes and scales not possible on the piano.
I am a trombonist, bassist, pianist, guitarist, singer, songwriter, composer, and music educator equally at home in classical, jazz, and pop contexts. I have performed with top artists such as Arturo Sandoval, and currently serve as Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Jazz Studies at Whitman College.
