About

Me playing my horn

Im a saxophone player in Seattle. Tenor is my main instrument and what I’m most comfortable on. I also play bass clarinet and the electric wind instrument. I run the EWI through guitar effects and sometimes my laptop. I programed all the sounds for it so I dont use the cheesy sounds the EWI comes with. I like where the sounds are heading…

I studied composition and improvisation in school (New England Conservatory) and come from a jazz background. I make a lot of different types of music. I had a band called Frieze of Life for awhile that did a bunch of my own music (and others in the band) as well as arrangements I made of Bela Bartok and Gyorgy Ligeti’s music. You can hear some of that music on the music page.

My most recent music has been with my trio, Goat. I play a lot of ewi in it. With guitar and drums, the trio format has been fun. We’re currently looking for a drummer.

I also have a large ensemble project I’m currently editing for release. It is made up of composed and structured improvisational sections. 14 musicians. Check out the Mobiles files on the music page for a listen.

I’m currently in a phase where I dont quite know what my next project should be. I have an interesting gig coming up on August 15. It a fun band with Mark Taylor, Byron Vannoy, Geoff Harper, and Zach Stewart. All original music of mine. These are great players and I really like them all as people so that makes making music with them all the more fun.

I teach quite a bit too.

I’m always looking to be part of projects. I love collaborating and being a sideman. I’m available!
