I am a composer/woodwinds player based out of Seattle Washington. I have been fortunate to perform with greats such as Bernard Purdie, Chico Mendoza, Julian Priester, David Haney, Steve Swell, Vinny Golia, George Haslam and a slew of others.

As a composer I focus on being versatile, having written music for art films, a PSA and a small YouTube series varying in genre.

My album "Styling the Genie" which was a collection of tracks that were placed on the My Style Genie YouTube page in 2012/2013, premiered on artofthemix.com's top 100 for 2 to 3 days in May of 2016.

Hi Jeremy, Thanks for your cool review of "Global Chilling". You're right, I always have trouble with genre's, thank you for the advise. The sax player is Albery Q Wing (coincidentally, he played with Frank Zappa (Dweezel's band too) among many others. He reminds me of Lenny Pickett. Anyways, my song IS two movements (programs)on the CD but for Broadjam reviews I felt that neither one is complete without the other so to avoid the obvious.... Thanks for the great scores, I thought your review was spot on and from a professional POV.

Thank you for your review of "From Me To You". This is one of my older pieces... Back in the beginning stages of my music creativity, so yes, there was/is lots of improvement to be done with this piece. I've been off Broadjam for awhile, but if you get the chance, please take a listen some of my more current pieces. Once again thank you for your input... It is greatly appreciated.
