Good news! While I was living in Boston, I was fortunate enough to be able to work with Stars Regardless, and record an EP with them. It is now available for purchase here, on their BandCamp website. Please support them if you can!

Information on some of the groups I'm currently working with.

Greedy Cherry is who I'm working with this summer to record an album. You can hear one of the tunes we played live during a Berklee recital, as well as demo recordings of some of the tunes that are going on the new album.

The Willie Sordillo Trio is a group I play with weekly at the Old South Church jazz worship service, and frequently at other venues in the Greater Boston Area. On the website, you can hear some tracks from Willie's solo album, and find out when and where our next appearance is going to be.

The Undeca Quintet is a modern jazz quintet I had the pleasure of recording with in March 2008. Currently, many of the members are still busy with classes, but when there is free time, we try to gig at small, jazz-friendly venues in and around Boston.

Ruby BC and the Music Factor is a new group that has been formed at Berklee. It's made up of hand-picked student instrumentalists (five horns and rhythm section) and then student composers are commissioned to write for them. I was fortunate enough to be asked to write them a piece; my jazz-fusion arrangement of Claude Debussy's "Reverie" can be found on their MySpace.

Currently, Rock the Night doesn't have a MySpace page; however, you can hear some of what we're doing on our lead singer Bre Levere's page. Ms. Levere has recently released her own solo EP, which I had the privilege to play piano for in July 2008.

Last winter, I had the privilege to work with Nick at Exousia Publishing. You can hear several of the pieces that were recorded from our concert, entitled Ten Year Night, that happened in November of 2007.
