Everybody loves a rip-roarin' 18-piece big band, but not every situation calls for a whole crowd of musicians on stage. I love the intimate musical interaction of small group jazz, and luckily I get to play with some of the best in Chicago!
As an educator, I love helping students discover enjoyment of musical performance. I can come to your school to work with your students on many different aspects of jazz and brass performance!
The pandemic shut-down that began in March 2020 brought live music performances to a halt, and big band shows are really only just now beginning to make a come-back as we work our way down the second half of summer 2021. For all this time, many of Chicago's finest musicians found themselves sitting at home with few to none of the creative outlets that were such a regular part of their lives for as long as they can remember. A lot of creative energy built up during that time, and Lockdown is project that has harnessed that energy and focused it into a distinctive contemporary big band album that could only have been made during this unique time.
World-renowned musicians can be heard on each track of this album, which is comprised of brand new compositions and original arrangements. Click on the album cover to the right to take a listen and purchase, and check back here soon for info on upcoming live performances!
