New Release!  Mid-Size Jazz Ensemble Album

A digital album of my original music for mid-size jazz ensemble has been released at Bandcamp. 

I am a fan of the mid-size ensemble and the creative possibilities it offers.

My vision for a mid-size ensemble is to use a woodwind quintet as a role model – that is, with each instrument having a distinct tone color – instead of thinking of it as a smaller version of a big band. This concept can be explored with either conventional or unconventional combinations of instruments. The ensemble can also have a level of flexibility and creative freedom that is usually associated with a small group.

Stylistically, this music is eclectic...spanning American roots to avant-garde. ​

The 8-track album is $7. The music can be streamed (with the free Bandcamp app) or downloaded. As another option, individual recordings are $1 per track. Purchases help to fund new recordings of my originals.
