ABOUT

Since moving to the DMV, I have been in a few bands but am still networking. I have a trio and a quartet that have played several gigs but would be happy to join a band that skillfully and joyfully bridges cultural divides; I am imagining jazz and dancing and art and humor. I have significant musical skills, education, and experience, I play from scores and by ear, I improvise and jam, and I am looking for music professionals for gigs. I play everything: classical, jazz, rock, funk, etc. I have 21 albums of original music but have played in Genesis, Pink Floyd, Santana, 60s, and Grateful Dead tribute bands.
