Educator, pianist, clarinetist.

I am a pianist, clarinetist and teacher in New York City.

My latest group is called Loco Motors. We are just getting started, but click here and here for a taste!

I’ve also lead a group called Primitivo, a trio specializing in the music of early modern composers played in the spirit of bal-musette dancehall music of turn of the century Paris.

Here are some recent videos from my work at Stony Brook University. The playlist includes solo and ensemble performances of both original material and traditional jazz standards.
