"Possibilities" (2010)

This is my second solo album, my first of all original compositions.  A very personal record, journeying through my memories and personal experiences and trying to put them into musical form.   A very reflective and hopeful recording.

1. Five Years    
2. Possibilities
3. The Gift
4. Dance
5. I Feel You

I tried to keep the integrity of a live piano feel on this record.  My goal is always to play with a wide dynamic range, and try to avoid a "canned" sound on my recordings.  Therefore, you will notice the live feel...we used very little compression and only natural reverb and harmonics.  I hope you enjoy.

"LEFT HAND, RIGHT HAND" (2005)

This studio record represents the relationship between the hands and the two sides of the brain.  I have always been fascinated with how memory and contemplative faculty play a role in music.   Structure and creativity come together just as the two hands must rely on one another.

The album has classical roots with compositions by Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Brahms.  Tracks by Gershwin and Sondheim also are on the CD, as well as two original pieces, "Beginnings" and "Rainfall".
