CDs

After All These Years is my collection of original songs, on which I play piano (and sing, of course!). It is my personal tribute as a songwriter and musician to the composers, lyricists, and classic performances of the Great American Songbook of vocal jazz and Broadway music that is such a bright spot in our musical heritage and that shaped my love of music. It's a diverse combination of styles, sounds, and textures that encompass cabaret jazz, roadhouse blues, hard drivin' swing (in the RatPack tradition!), funk/R&B pop, jazz-rock, peppery samba, symphonic ballad, and torch song. And most of all, it's the culmination of stories and reflections on the journey that has been my musical and personal life, after all these years.

Please scroll down and sample my songs and the thrilling performances by the ensemble of world-class musicians who brought them to life.
