I have posted a bunch of older music I have recorded over the years. Most of it I recorded myself playing all the instruments, but there are also two songs from my old band Big Truth.
You can listen to them on the Media page. I hope you like them.

“Building” Drum Tracks
When I set out to record some jazz songs I had written, I planned them to be demo tracks that I could give to musicians to learn and practice my songs. I had several factors that I had to deal with. First, I had zero budget for recording. There would be no going to a studio. So this would have to be a laptop studio project using existing instruments and software. Second, I don’t have a decent room for recording and I mainly have late night for recording. So it would have to done direct into the laptop. No microphones. Third I play guitar, bass, and keys well enough to get my ideas across, but I don’t play drums. So I would depend on drum loops and drum software to build the drum tracks.

Mixing Third Song For My Kind Of Jazz
I have finished recording and begun mixing the third song for my album My Kind Of Jazz. The song is titled Nice Evening. I originally titled the song December because I wrote it one December. But the name didn’t really fit the song so I renamed it. It seems to me more like a “relaxing” song that you might play at the end of a nice evening than a song about a cold winter month.
Two Songs From My Kind Of Jazz Posted
I have posted the first two songs from my upcoming album My Kind Of Jazz. They are titled Arrival and Boom Bip Bip. You can find them on the Media page.
My Kind Of Jazz (album)
For several years I played guitar in a band called Upstairs Jazz. It was occasional. We did cafe gigs, weddings, Christmas programs, and anniversary parties. It was great fun. The best part was I got to write original jazz music and then hear it played by great musicians.
