I love jazz. because when an artist like me composes music in a multitude of genres, with an infinite spectrum of emotion, people know that "jazz" effectively represents that diversity in the artist's musical vocabulary. My advice to new listeners is to leave expectations behind and allow the music you are listening to carry you away. Allow yourself to be influenced by what you hear and you will discover something familiar, something surprising, and something sublime.

I have performed in a house concert. I played two of my original compositions as a part of a larger collaboration with dancers, poets, and artists. When performers and listeners are invited to someone's home, the familiarity of a living room is part of everyone's human experience. It is simply where people live! The listener has a familiar place to begin their journey with an artist's story. Then... even if the artist takes them around the Milky Way and back again, the listener experiences the unique adventure from a safe and recognizable place. The artist, the performer, is also reminded of the need to provide that for the listener, in order to make their artistic adventure palatable; whether it is a story universally relatable or a whole new, surprising launch into the unknown.
