Jazz Guitar Music
I am a jazz guitarist based in Durham, North Carolina. I play guitar in a variety of settings from solo to organ trio to big band. I mostly perform in North Carolina and elsewhere on the East Coast. Though I have also performed in Russia and throughout Europe. Performances in Europe include five times at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.

Most of my gigging these days is duos and trios, and of course solo. As much as I love playing in small groups, I've really been having fun with playing a whole lot of solo guitar lately. I've posted a few solo guitar videos here on youtube for anyone to check out, I'll keep adding more as I have time.

As of early 2007 I have released ten self-produced CDs as a leader or co-leader. I've got two trio projects in the works for the coming year, stay tuned...

I am available for any kind of sideman or studio jazz work and, in addition to my established projects, I can assemble a variety of jazz ensembles to play at any public or private event anywhere in the world.

Influences: This would be a ridiculously long list.
