ABOUT

I am at home on the piano but have a deep appreciation for electromechanical keyboards with all of their challenges and character. My background is in classical and jazz music although I have played blues, indie, rock, latin, and other genres. I am looking to commit to a new project or even just casually jam with some experienced players. A duo or trio project with improv elements would be nice either acoustic or electronic.

I am free on most evenings and weekends for practices or gigging although I am looking for a maximum of one night a week commitment because I have other projects going on.
