It's been a wonderful occasion for me to reconfigure my website. During the past few years, I have been graced both by opportunities, and by longevity. The biggest recent event was playing solo jazz piano at the renowned Smalls Jazz Club in Lower Manhattan, New York City. This was a longstanding dream, successfully fulfilled on February 24th, 2024!! I am very grateful for the enthusiasm that spontaneously came out of this effort! The second event that came my way was more passive: I turned 77 years old--all the more meaningful in that I had my first piano lesson at the ripe old age of 7 (on March 7th, 1954). So my recent birthday also marked 70 years of continuous, devoted involvement with the piano, and all that it has helped me to become both in the musical sphere (jazz-playing and composition), and in my "person-hood," whose maturation has helped me become a better person. Thank you for your interest in reading a bit about me. I hope you enjoy the playing and compositions that are here for you to sample. I look forward to playing more "live dates" and would love to play for you.
