1) "Swingin' For the Ride"
My newest CD "Swingin' for the Ride" is now available. I am excited about this CD. I believe it has a real nice spirit to it. I'm feeling very happy these days and, hopefully, you can hear that and it is shared on this CD. It's the kind of thing that sits easily underneath whatever you are doing, or you can really listen in to it. I am singing and playing (and yes, both at the same time) while being accompanied by my bassist, Sean Conly and drummer, Diego Voglino. On some cuts we also have the great percussionist, Daniel Sadownick, with us. Seven of the twelve tunes are tunes that everyone knows and loves. The other five are tunes which I wrote both the music and the words. This CD is quite a coming out experience! I like the feeling of it and everyone that I have played it for has really liked it. I hope that you do too and that the music makes you feel good. Below are a few sound clips....

2) "Triptych: A Trio of Trios"
One of the first things that I did when I came back to New York City in the early 80's was to buy a drum set for my home. This, along with the piano that my parents donated to me was the beginning of a party/jam session scene that continues to this day. Some of the best music I do is done in my living room. So, at one point, I decided to just capture it on tape. This CD," Triptych" features three different piano trios (no vocals) with my friends and I. Below is a sound clip.....
