My Jazz Story

I was introduced to jazz by Philadelphia drummer and music journalist Bruce Klauber at the age of 9! I've created a concert series "Music by Intention" dedicated to popular standards within The Great American Songbook genre. I love teaching private students and lecturing on both jazz harmony/improvisation and the lives of American Standards composers. Presentations include my renditions of many popular standard songs, demonstrating how this musical genre led to the creation of jazz, America's unique and enduring contribution to the arts.
