Albums ACQUIESCENT RESONANCE: (1998) Lots of unexpected sounds and rhythmic undercurrents within an ambient frame. Jazz, but not entirely instrumental. From time to time a husky voice appears to make offbeat commentaries on music. He made me laugh! Like the guy says, "It's not the kind of music it is. Fast or slow, it's got to have soul."  THE JOURNEY:(1997) An incredibly involving album. Although it's made of many parts, but it's really one complete piece. As a listener you are drawn along through one soulful mood after another. A lot like Vollenweider, but with a hundred times more depth. Honestly, I never knew jazz could be so sweet! A  wonderful  listening experience. URBAN OASIS:(1996) Sophisticated and savvy, the sounds of this album will saunter and sway through your apartment, condo, or penthouse. Yes, you can dance to this music. I would advise that you don't even try to restrain yourself! The instrumentals are so smart and witty, that at times I found my  whole body  thinking in jazz. Let your feet lead the way RANDOM FACTORS:(1994) Seventy-one minutes of exceptionally smooth jazz. This is definitely not a rehash of the old standards we've heard for years, instead we're presented with new themes gathered from new thought, experience, and awareness. Every selection in this marvelous medley is performed with inventiveness and an unexpected new age twist. (About.com) REFLECTIONS: Long Ago and Far Away; (1994-unreleased) a peaceful, atmospheric cd filled with enchanting melodies. HALLOWED GROUND: (1999) ground-breaking ambient cd of a darker nature. Evocative and hypnotic..
