Now in post-production: My first recording as composer and bandleader, an album of all original music featuring members of the celebrated jazz bands Oregon and the Pat Metheny Group: Mark Walker on drums and percussion and 13-time-Grammy-winner Steve Rodby on bass.

I’m a pianist, composer, producer and music educator based in Oakland, CA. I’ve performed and recorded with top artists in the San Francisco Bay Area, especially in the Afro-Cuban/salsa, Latin jazz, and Brazilian jazz scenes.
Check out samples from my recordings with Tanaóra (Brazilian and Latin jazz) and La Moderna Tradición (Afro-Cuban charanga). In addition to playing piano, I co-produced these CDs.
These unreleased solo piano improvisations are a far cry from anything else I’ve recorded. For the adventurous listener.
