This album fuses the best of the pop and jazz worlds. Thoughtful lyrics mesh with strong melodies to make each track convey the kind of heart that music has not had in decades. Watch for Beatles references and swinging jazz solos!

No one listens to twenty-eight minute jazz solos. But turn on the radio, and the alternative is even worse: mindless repetitions with no musical variety. I want listeners to enjoy solos, and I want songs to have a carefully crafted musical architecture. I used the same compositional techniques that made my favorite artists great. I can even point to influences from the Beatles, Beethoven, Bill Evans, Billy Childs, and Billy Joel (and those are just the B's!). However, this music stands on its own, as all its influences were filtered through my personal creative lens.
Listen to modern music, and you might hear a heavy beat paired (perhaps randomly) with a bass track, and some lyrics about partying and living it up, as though that is the point of existence.
Listen to my music, and you might hear more about the human experience. You'll hear elements of your own life in the lyrics and in the heart-felt melodies. Listen to my music, and you'll hear, well, I Get My Way.
