"Sorry for the delay. I have kept quite busy teaching and have not dedicated enough time to this sight and to keeping you all informed. Here's the latest.
I have been studying and working on my arranging capabilities and have been making strides on Sibelius 5 (the music software). Currently, my arrangements are being rehearsed and performed by Benet Academy's jazz combo. The final Benet jazz concert may include my arrangement of Radiohead's "Paranoid Android" for Large Jazz Ensemble. Please visit the Benet Academy website at www.benet.org/Music/jazz/index.html for more info.
I have launched a new music group called Love Hustler. Listen at www.LoveHustler.com. The focus is to create new original music that incorporates elements of funk, soul, pop, and electronica. All instruments, vocals, and production by myself and Adam Rudolph. Adam is my dearest friend, my musical counterpart, and is a fellow Freak Brother.
If you are on Facebook, you can run a search and find me there. I update my FB daily.
I'm still on Myspace as well. If you want to hear some of my most recent recordings, Go to any of the following:
