"A Road Less Traveled" - CD
This CD was composed and recorded in February of 1998. It is an album of piano and chamber music somewhat similar to the music of Debussey and Satie. The first song written for this album, "Inside the Moment", was inspired by the Gold Medal performance of skater Tara Lipinski in the 1998 Winter Olympics. All of the other pieces were composed within the following six weeks. Below you will find recordings of this entire album.
All pieces were written, arranged, performed and recorded in my private studio.

"A Musical Feast" - CD
This CD was compiled in October of 1996. It is an album of world jazz, pop and ambience pieces. The songs were written over a period of many years. This album was inspired by the tragic death of a dear friend of mine, Cathy Workman, who was taken from us way too soon. Below you will find recordings of this entire album.
