Joy (new composition)
I wrote a new tune tonight. It's called "Joy". I guess I was in a happy mood. :)
Here's a little recording I made on the piano:

NPR's Piano Jazz online
Marian Mcpartland has an incredibly good radio show on NPR where she interviews jazz musicians and has them perform on the show. It's my all time favorite radio show. Recently NPR has posted streaming versions of these shows on their web site, which you can access by clicking here.

New Composition - "The Wind"
I got in a composing mood and I wrote a song for the piano that is inspired by the wind at night. It's called "The Wind". Please click below to listen and let me know what you think!

New Composition - "A Quiet Night"
Tonight I wrote a composition that is best played really slow. It reminds me in some ways of Pat Metheny's "In Her Family". Please click below to listen, and let me know what you think!

"Simple Life" - new composition
Last night I wrote a very simple song, and made a pretty silly and quick recording of it using various synthesized sounds. A warning: this is not my best work, but I thought I'd share it anyways in case anyone might like it. It's better to think of this recording as a rough sketch of some ideas that might be worthwhile developing more later. Someday I'll re-record this with a different instrumentation, perhaps real drums and a church organ.
