ABOUT

The Thinking Man's Songwriter. Recently played at SOHO jazz club in downtown Santa Barbara. I have another gig there this year (2023) in December.
I believe I am Santa Barbara's only jazz violinist. I also play viola, some trumpet and can read charts.
anyway. Looking for accompanist on piano or guitar and
percussion. Have practice/recording space at home.
I am working on an exciting new project. I have decided to rent
a cello, so that I can arrange violin, viola and cello parts & record them. Going to take some practice to make the cello work,
but I think this will make me more of a 'complete' musician.
....Which, I presume, is Everyone''s goal!
