This is a unique arrangement! It's a combination of Charlie Parker's CONFIRMATION and John Coltrane's 26-2, which is the Giant Steps progression applied to CONFIRMATION! The bass plays Bird's line and Brian plays Trane's line! This features James Fowler on bass and Mike Walker on drums! |

This is a gospel influenced tune reminiscent
of the Saturday Night Live Theme. It has a
12/8 type feel and a really nice group
improvisation at the end! |

The original 'A' section line of this tune was
improvised by Charlie Gigliotti, a keyboardist
that I worked with many years ago. This song
is what I would call a hard core jazz fusion
tune inspired by the Brecker Bros. Hope you like it! |

This tune is all about the groove! It has a
strong hip-hop groove with several different
melodic sections. We are not sure why this tune
works with a FIVE bar "A" section, but it does!
This features Brian on alto sax & Shane Conaway on guitar! |

This is a song that I wrote back in my college
days. It started out as a slow, sad ballad but
it gradually developed a beat and morphed into a
very unique tune - a hip-hop beat with very complex
chord progressions! The tune makes a shift from
minor to major - like the sun rising on a better
day! |

This is my attempt at a rockin' jazz tune.
There is an 8 bar unison shout after the
guitar solo that is a Michael Brecker inspired
line! This tune features Brian on alto saxophone,
Shane Conaway on guitar, Johnny Nelson on bass,
and Mike Walker on drums. Lee Rucker joins us
on trumpet for the 8 bar shout. |

This is a tune, once again, that was written
for an old girlfriend. The meaning of this
song to me today has more to do with how my
heart felt at the time, not the actual girlfriend!
It features me on the alto saxophone. |
