I love to play my favorite tunes using my own arrangements and style. Sometimes I go from swing, to ballad, to latin all in the same tune. My music education background includes the study of classical music in college as well as jazz theory and technique, taught by local piano teachers in Denver where I grew up. Morton Mann, Ted Alexander, and Zoe Erisman were all very influential teachers, during my time as a student. Many of the tunes I play were taught to me by my jazz teachers, and many others are favorites from the pop music world. Solo jazz piano that embraces elements of rock, swing and latin is my passion.
Many of you who come to my channel also know me as a piano tuner/technician in the Denver area. I've been tuning pianos since 1978. I started playing piano long before that. Suffice it to say, I have a passion for pianos. My favorite piano is featured in many of my videos, a Mason Hamlin model A grand piano. Hope you enjoy it. Thank you very much.
