This original jazz ballad explores the backdoor progression, passing chords, and other interesting harmonies to elicit the beauty found in ordinary things.

In this medium blues in G, I was going for that old-timey blues sound. The rising and falling melody reminded me a carousel. Enjoy!

"Blue Moon" is a classic popular song written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in 1934. This song has become a standard ballad.

I call this piece, “The Return" because it makes me think of water meandering through valleys and rocks. The idea for this piece came from exploring an E major scale harmonized in 6ths.

This short composition explores dominant and minor 7th chords with extensions, suspended chords, harmonic movement in thirds, and arpeggios. I called it La Pluie… the rain en Français.

"Moon River" is a song composed by Henry Mancini with lyrics by Johnny Mercer.

My wife and I recorded this classic jazz standard in 2016 with Ed Bergstrom on piano, Benjamin May on bass, and Nick Sullivan on drums.
