Now in production: My first recording as leader, an album of all original music featuring drummer Mark Walker of the seminal jazz group Oregon and bassist and 13-time Grammy winner Steve Rodby of the legendary Pat Metheny Group. This is completely different from anything I’ve done before, and I can’t wait to share it with you! Sign up for my newsletter for upates.

The pandemic has forced me to put this on hold, but I will resume as soon as possible.

I’m a pianist, composer, producer and music educator based in Oakland, CA. I’ve performed and recorded with internationally-known artists in the San Francisco Bay Area, especially in Latin and Brazilian music, including guitarist Ray Obiedo and Latin jazz legend Pete Escovedo.

Here you can listen to and purchase downloads of my recordings with Tanaóra (Brazilian and Latin jazz) and La Moderna Tradición (Afro-Cuban charanga). In addition to playing piano, I co-produced these albums.

These unreleased solo piano improvisations are a far cry from anything else I’ve recorded.
