About Me:

I am a musician and educator in Austin, Texas. I perform in Texas and elsewhere with my own jazz groups and as a sideman in a variety of genres.

I grew up in the Hudson Valley, New York and was fortunate to be exposed to many great musicians at a young age. My musical journey began by studying classical piano with Gwen Stevens and participating in masterclasses/chamber music coaching with a variety of artists. I later discovered jazz and began to take the saxophone more seriously, studying with Tim Price in New York.

I moved to Austin in mid 2007 and quickly began performing with a variety of groups and building my private studio of piano and saxophone students. Over the past few years I have been lucky enough to perform and record with many great musicians, arrange significant portions of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker score for jazz combo as part of a dance production, and much more.

January Schedule: The Slow Times

The New Year is upon us and it brings with it the annual couple of months with very few gigs. I'm trying to find some shows for Mente Clara, my 7 piece band that mainly plays the music of Hermeto Pascoal and hopefully I'll have an update soon. At any rate, here are the public gigs I do have one the books at the moment.

1/4: Jovita's with Vendetta Big Band
1/27: Papi Tino's with Javier Jara from 7-9:30 PM
1/28: Jester King Brewery with The Vintage 15
