It took me a while to come up with a meaningful description of what I do. I hope this puts it all together:
“Listener-Friendly Piano Jazz”.
To satisfy myself, it’s vital that my music be appealing, creative and swinging or contemplative as appropriate. Above all, I want my audiences and fellow performers to enjoy what I play.

A Special Note
Permit me to borrow a moment to promote a favorite cause here in the Berkshires. I’ll be playing a bit, and the Latin group Media Noche will push out the salsas for dancing.
