I just had the pleasure of playing with Walter White’s Small, Medium at Large Band.  What a treat!  Members included Walter White, Kenny Robinson and Bob Jensen on trumpets; Mark Kieme and Mark Berger on saxes; John Rutherford on trombone; Phil Kelly on piano; Miles Br0wn on bass; and Jeff Trudell on drums.    Walter has a great book and a great band.  I thoroughly enjoyed myself.  The group hits again at the Cadieux Cafe in Detroit on April 10th.

My newest completed composition, Break Down (for Flute, Bassoon, and Piano), is the first piece available at my new online sheet music store.

I look forward to soon having my entire catalog organized for purchase over the next month.  Please check back!

I just put the final touches on my newest composition, “Breakdown”.  This is a trio for flute, bassoon, and piano commissioned by the Aurea Silva Trio (Brandy Hudelson, Gareth Thomas, and David Gilliland).  This is a great chamber group made up of three total concert badasses.  It will be a treat to hear the music played!  There are two performances on the books…

The House Band officially released its debut album this week to a large and enthusiastic crowd at the St. Columban Concert Series.  They are such a great listening audience and a real treat to play for.  Andrew Bishop, James Hughes, Mark Kieme, Walter White, Jimmy Smith, Ben Jannson, Mark Berger, Chris Smith, Paul Finkbeiner, Brandon Cooper, Matt Martinez, Steve Hunter, Gary Hellick, Jonathan Ovalle, Matt Henninger, Kris Kurzawa, and Bob Mervak played their asses off!  Special thanks to the series staff and Penny Warmanen for the help.

A composer always treasures the opportunity to have his work performed by the caliber of talent and meticulous nature of the members of this band.  My music is hard, but I write what I want and find the players who can pull it off with grace, style, and bravada.  This was my philosophy with Saxomble, and it continues with the House Big Band.

Look for us to return to the Detroit scene very soon.

Very excited for tonight’s concert with the House Big Band.
