I'm in the process of lining up some gigs for the 2011-2012 fall/winter schedule and adding them here, please check back often for updates.

I play gigs alone or with some of my long time friends, frequenting piano bars, coffee houses, parties and clubs. I like to fit the style to the venue. Sometimes I play original songs and sometimes I jazz up covers, especially rock or folk songs that I like the lyrics too, and sometimes I just play whatever fits the mood. I'm quite famous (or infamous depending on your point of view) for extended improvisations. Music is a raw talent for me, it is not always meant to be written down or copied down. Jazz is a musician's medium, allowing the musician to compose on the spot and create some unique sounds that are so original that no one has formulated the correct means of written conveyance. There are also many more forms of Jazz than just the traditional. There's gypsy jazz, Celtic, blues, blue grass etc. Indian Classical music is based on the art of improvisation and even the western classical composers were known to improvise. My favorite is world fusion. Fusing the inspirations of many cultures into it's own unique work of art that can only be viewed as pure American.
